Due to erosive OLP, I've begun to see the roots of my back teeth exposed. My insurance co. would only consider covering GTR / Rejuvagum if I first did root scaling and planing (RS/P). I hesitate to do so because my gums are delicate / sensitive (& RS/P seems meant for erosion due to periodontal disease, not an autoimmune condition). Can I, or should I do GTR or LANAP therapy without it? Or Lanap therapy instead of RS/P? (And finally, would using lasers on my gums be a bad idea?)
A dentist I contacted in Turkey suggested that I can have Pinhole/ GTR surgery, 2 weeks after LANAP. I am sceptical as from my research bone keeps growing for months to a year after LANAP? Can I have Pinhole surgery before the bone growth stabilises? But I do want to also fix my receding gum line asap, so please advise on what's the soonest possible timeline to have both?
