Dental Laser Proficiency Course and Clinical Simulation

Participation/Certification Course for Dentists and Dental Hygienists

December 13, 2019 - December 14, 2019

Course overview

Has the hoopla surrounding the introduction of lasers to dentistry been more smoke than substance? Since 1990, the USFDA has approved the use of 7 different wavelengths creating a world of difference in how the lasers operate, and their usefulness in the oral cavity.

The first day will detail laser use in the following: Non-Surgical, Surgical & Regenerative Periodontal Therapy, Surgical & Restorative Implantology, Esthetic/Cosmetic Dentistry, Fixed & Removable Prosthetics, Practice Management/Marketing, Oral Med/Oral Surgery/Oral Path, Pedo/Ortho, Pedo & Adolescent Operative Dentistry, & Endo.

The second day will provide each participant hands-on experience with the various wavelengths, performing surgical procedures on in-vitro models. Real time videos of routine laser procedures will be part of the discussion of specific instrument settings and techniques for laser surgical procedures.
