Description

The hands-on workshop provides attendees with a didactic presentation on the uses of diodes, erbium and CO2 dental lasers, for surgical procedures. In the hands-on portion, participants utilize skills shown in didactic portion. Each laser has a specific use, and many times lasers can duplicate procedures done by different types of lasers. The hands-on workshop is for beginners in laser dentistry as well as experienced users. The program gives the surgical specialist an edge from traditional treatment modalities.

Learn:
  • how to use lasers to detoxify (osteotomy site and failing implants), decorticate (bone and soft tissue), and uncover implants with different lasers
  • how to use lasers to cut flaps to allow primary closure without releasing incisions
  • how light energy can aid in healing of surgical sites, aid in nerve regeneration, decrease inflammation post-operatively, and TMD treatments
