ARSHAD MAHMOOD MALIK, MDS

THE BASIC CONCEPTS AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
Light has been used as a therapeutic agent for many centuries. The use of light for treatment of various pathologies is referred to as ‘Phototherapy’. The development of different laser wavelengths and methods of pulsing is developing in field of medical science. Since the 1960s, lasers have been used in dentistry, and their clinical uses have been evaluated. Many dental procedures involve lasers, which are noted for their simplicity, efficiency, comfort, and superiority over older methods. The CO2, Nd YAG, and Diodes are high-power Class 4 lasers, used for both hard and soft tissue manipulation.

Learn:

• understanding the basics of laser in dentistry
• practical application’s of laser in dentistry
• planning of laser clinical approach in dentistry
• limitation of laser applications in dentistry

NAUMAN RAUF, BDS, PHD

LASER DENTISTRY AND WOUND HEALING
The session includes a detailed overview of laser-tissue interactions, operation parameters, and modes of application. A series of representative clinical cases ranging from post-extraction healing and aphthous ulcer treatment to pre-procedural decontamination and surgical interventions such as gingivectomy, frenectomy, and implant exposure demonstrate the laser’s effectiveness in various scenarios. Histopathological and radiographic follow-ups further validate the laser’s ability to stimulate cellular repair mechanisms and support bone regeneration.

Learn:

• addition of diode lasers as valuable adjunct in contemporary dental practice
• introducing predictable and improved healing outcomes with minimal patient morbidity
• highlighting therapeutic efficacy of diode lasers
