1. Is LPT appropriate for pocket sizes of 4''s and 5''s? 2. What is the best way to find a periodontist who does this type of surgery
Thanks for your inquiry. LPT is a surgical procedure. Pocket depths of 4 and 5 mm do not necessarily need LPT. Many times they can be treated with deep cleanings. The first thing that you would need is a compreshensive dental examination that includes periodontal probing. This way we can determine if you are a candidate for LPT. Please give us a call and we would be happy to see you.
