Dr. Eric Linden was invited to deliver a lecture to the Faculty of Dental Oncology at MSKCC. He discussed the need for periodontal treatment prior to Bone Marrow Transplant and Chemotherapy. With the advent of LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) as an FDA-cleared protocol, immunocompromised patients have a new pathway to establish a healthy oral environment prior to undergoing these critical procedures. Indications for the need to reduce bacterial load in the oral cavity include neutropenic patients, who do not have their own ability to ward off infection, and thereby prevent tissue destruction. LANAP enables them to do so in an environment that is atraumatic and has quick turn around time for healing.
