49% of Active U.S. AAP Members Now Trained in LANAP Laser Protocol
Seattle – October 30, 2026 -- Millennium Dental Technologies, Inc. said 49% of active U.S. members of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) are now trained in its LANAP protocol, a laser-based alternative to traditional osseous surgery for moderate to severe periodontitis. The company announced the figure at the AAP Annual Meeting in Seattle.
Adoption reaches roughly half of active U.S. periodontists in the AAP
The company, which developed LANAP and manufactures the PerioLase MVP-7 variable-pulsed Nd:YAG dental laser, said both periodontists and general dentists are adopting the protocol. LANAP is available only with the PerioLase MVP-7, which ties each new trained clinician to the company's hardware platform.
Founder, President and Chairman Robert H. Gregg II, DDS, said the milestone matters because "patients have greater access to care they can feel comfortable accepting."
