About the course
|
Lasers have been used in dentistry for approximately two decades and are suitable for multiple procedures, including soft tissue treatment. Lasers for soft tissue treatments are available at varying powers and wavelengths and can be used for procedures that would otherwise be performed using electrosurgery or a scalpel.
Laser dentistry generates very little or zero heat and is a far gentler form of surgery. When used correctly, dental lasers enable soft tissue to be effectively, precisely, and safely removed. Uses for soft tissue lasers include: gingivectomies and periodontal treatments, frenectomies, ablating and removing aphthous ulcers, gingival contouring, crown lengthening, troughing, soft tissue incisions, and removing soft tissue lesions. It can also be used as an alternative to retraction cord to isolate margin prep for a crown . So, aim of this course is to provide a comprehensive knowledge about lasers and its use in periodontal therapy. The course would include detailed theory lectures along with the hand-on

Laser therapy can be appealing for the patient if they feel at all anxious about treatment. After treatment, most laser therapy patients will experience reduced post-operative pain, gingival swelling, and discomfort. No stitches are required due to hemostasis. There may be occasions when other techniques, such as electrosurgery, may be quicker, but laser treatment tends to be more comfortable and less traumatic for the patient. Knowing that their dental practitioner uses a high-tech approach to dental care can also be reassuring. Soft tissue treatment allows procedures to be performed on young children and infants who would otherwise require a general anesthetic. Thus, knowledge and skill of using a soft tissue laser can take your practice to a newer heights.
