Description:

This comprehensive course introduces dental professionals to the science and clinical applications of hard and soft tissue lasers. Participants will gain a practical understanding of various laser wavelengths and system platforms, along with the benefits and limitations of each. Through engaging clinical cases, high-quality images, and procedural videos, this program demonstrates how laser technology can elevate everyday dentistry.

Attendees will learn how lasers can effectively control hemorrhage and reduce the need for local anesthesia by enabling injection-free restorative procedures. The course will cover the use of laser-activated endodontics to improve disinfection and enhance treatment outcomes. Participants will also explore how to manage soft tissue and bone with precision around crowns, as well as how lasers can be applied in periodontal therapy, implant and grafting procedures, and in the treatment of peri-implantitis.

In addition, the course highlights the growing role of photobiomodulation in dentistry, showing how lasers can be used to accelerate wound healing, stimulate collagen production, and promote tissue modification for improved clinical results.

• control bleeding effectively using laser technology
• perform restorations without injections using appropriate laser techniques
• apply lasers in endodontic procedures for improved disinfection and outcomes
• manage soft tissue and bone with precision in restorative and surgical cases
• treat perio and peri-implantitis non invasively and more effectively than traditional means

Description:

This innovative course expands the scope of laser therapy in dentistry, exploring its growing role in managing sleep-disordered breathing and enhancing facial aesthetics without the need for surgery. Participants will learn how to screen for and treat sleep-disordered breathing using laser energy to tighten collagen in the soft palate and uvula, improving airway patency non-invasively.

The program will also examine the relationship between tethered oral tissues (TOTs) and sleep disorders, guiding attendees through effective laser-based screening and treatment protocols. In addition, the course covers non-surgical laser applications to enhance nasal breathing and athletic performance. Within the realm of facial aesthetics, participants will explore laser techniques for facial rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, and lip enhancement all achieved by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, safely and effectively, within the dental practice setting.

• screen for and treat sleep-disordered breathing using laser tightening of the soft palate and uvula to improve airway function
• identify and assess tethered oral tissues (TOTs) and understand their role in contributing to sleep disorders
• apply laser therapy to manage both TOTs and various forms of sleep- disordered breathing, including snoring and mild sleep apnea
• use lasers to non-surgically enhance nasal breathing and athletic performance
• implement laser techniques for intraoral facial aesthetic procedures, including facial rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, and lip enhancement through collagen stimulation
