IRVINE, Calif., March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers, is pleased to
announce the Epic Hygiene™ laser received regulatory clearance for
Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR) therapy indication from the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA). This new indication now allows for
the early management of periodontal disease utilizing laser light
energy to reduce bacteria and thus decreasing inflammation and
enhancing periodontal health.
The Epic Hygiene laser, designed specifically for dental
hygienists by dental hygienists, has continued to arm the hygienist
community with more access to the advantages of laser technology
since it was first introduced in December
2019. The new indication allows hygienists to perform
gentler, highly effective treatments for bacterial reduction and
managing periodontal disease.
"We are extremely pleased that this new indication has been
cleared by the FDA for the Epic Hygiene Laser," said BIOLASE CEO,
Todd Norbe. "With this clearance, we
can further expand the types of procedures hygienists can perform,
directly aligning with our mission of advancing dentistry across
all fields. We also believe this new indication will directly
benefit patients by providing a virtually-pain free and faster
treatment option."
In addition to the reduction of bacterial level and
inflammation, the Epic Hygiene laser has also received clearance
for the removal of highly inflamed edematous tissue affected by
bacteria penetration of the pocket lining and junctional
epithelium.
