Convergent Dental’s Solea Perioguide is described as the next generation of minimally invasive periodontal treatment. This new application for the Solea All-Tissue Laser enables safe, effective, and efficient periodontal therapy without the need for sutures and with minimal post-operative discomfort, the manufacturer stated.
With this advanced technology, general dentists can provide exceptional care directly to their patients, maintaining continuity of care. Robert L. Gershon, CEO of Convergent Dental, added that this new minimally invasive laser therapy improves periodontal outcomes and patient comfort.
“Solea Perioguide represents a paradigm shift in periodontal treatment,” he said in a press release. “Dentists can confidently address periodontitis in their practice with an easy-to-use, minimally invasive solution that prioritizes patient comfort and clinical outcomes.”
The clinical efficacy of Solea-assisted periodontal therapy has been validated in a study led by Myron Nevins, DDS, and periodontist Dr. Marc L. Nevins, according to Convergent Dental. The study found that mean pocket depth reduction after Solea was approximately 4mm for teeth with an initial pocket depth of 7mm or greater, with up to 7mm pocket depth reduction achieved in some cases. Long-term success was demonstrated, with 98% of treated teeth maintaining pocket depths of less than 5mm at nine months post-treatment. Histological evidence further confirmed new bone formation and connective tissue attachment based on a limited sample of extracted teeth. These results underscore Solea’s ability to achieve and sustain a healthy periodontal state in patients with moderate to severe periodontitis, the company added.
“Periodontal disease is one of the most common yet challenging oral health conditions, and many dentists refer cases out due to the complexity and invasiveness of traditional treatments. Solea Perioguide changes that,” said Jeffrey Rohde, DDS, MS. “It allows me to efficiently treat periodontitis in my practice with excellent clinical results—all while providing a more comfortable experience for my patients. Plus, I also use it for crown lengthening and extractions, making it an incredibly versatile tool.”
Monica Lara-Cordoba, DMD, DMSc., a periodontist and implant specialist, has been using Solea in her periodontal practice since 2019 and stated that it has improved success rate when treating periodontal disease and peri-implantitis. “Since then, I have completed more than 1,200 periodontal surgeries achieving outstanding clinical results,” she said. “About half of those procedures involved bone grafting, and I was able to achieve bone regeneration and save teeth and implants that I could not have saved before introducing Solea to my protocol. Solea Perioguide will empower more dentists to provide effective, minimally invasive treatment to their patients.”
