Treatment Overview
Minimally Invasive Laser Gum Surgery in Korea is a next-generation periodontal treatment that restores gum health using biophotonic laser energy, AI-guided precision, and biologic tissue regeneration — without scalpels, sutures, or pain.
Developed in Korea’s leading periodontal research centers, this procedure targets deep gum infections, periodontal pockets, and tissue inflammation with micro-accurate laser detoxification and oxygen-assisted sterilization.
Korean specialists combine AI gum mapping, laser-assisted bone regeneration, and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) biologic enhancement to achieve full-spectrum healing — from bacterial elimination to collagen renewal and functional balance.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Treat moderate to advanced gum disease with minimal trauma.
- Eliminate bacteria and diseased tissue from periodontal pockets.
- Promote new gum attachment and bone regeneration.
- Minimize pain, swelling, and recovery time.
- Preserve natural gum and bone structure.
Benefits
- No Cutting or Stitches: Laser replaces scalpel-based surgery.
- Painless & Bloodless: Minimal discomfort and instant sealing of tissues.
- Deep Sterilization: Destroys 99.9% of pathogens within gum pockets.
- Fast Healing: Biologic stimulation accelerates tissue repair.
- Functional Recovery: Improves bite comfort and gum strength.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Revives pink gum tone and natural contours.
- Safe & Precise: AI-guided laser energy targets only diseased tissue.
Ideal Candidates
Minimally invasive laser gum surgery is ideal for:
- Patients with periodontitis or chronic gum infections.
- Individuals experiencing bleeding, swelling, or gum recession.
- Those who prefer non-surgical, pain-free periodontal treatment.
- Patients with deep gum pockets not responding to scaling or medication.
- People with sensitive gums or a history of delayed wound healing.
- International patients seeking advanced, gentle laser gum therapy in Korea.
Possible Risks & Complications
Laser gum surgery is clinically safe and biologically compatible, though temporary mild effects may occur:
- Minor sensitivity or gum tightness for 1–2 days.
- Slight warmth during the procedure.
- Temporary dryness or mild swelling post-treatment.
Korean periodontists minimize risks through AI-calibrated laser energy control, temperature regulation, and personalized wavelength protocols for each gum type.
Techniques & Technology Used
Core Techniques
- Biophotonic Laser Surgery: Removes infected tissue and sterilizes pockets without cutting.
- Laser Biostimulation: Activates fibroblasts and promotes new collagen formation.
- Oxygen & Ozone Therapy: Detoxifies and improves blood oxygenation for healing.
- PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) Biologic Integration: Enhances tissue regeneration naturally.
- AI Digital Gum Mapping: Measures pocket depth, bone density, and healing progression.
- Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT): Cleans bacterial biofilm before laser treatment.
- AI Occlusal Calibration: Adjusts bite pressure for TMJ-friendly healing.
- CAD/CAM Nightguard Fabrication: Protects rejuvenated gums from bruxism pressure.
Together, these techniques create a biologic, functional, and aesthetic healing system with minimal invasiveness.
Treatment Process in Korea
Step-by-Step Workflow
