Diode Lasers
in Dentistry
One Day Conference
A diode laser is an effective adjunct to oral soft tissue surgery, due to incisional haemostasis, and effective tissue vaporisation. Furthermore, it can be used to kill pathogens and is of use in periodontalΒ and endodontic decontamination.
Laser therapy is a very useful adjunct to the management of pain, inflammation and infection, and can be used to improve the quality of tissues repair and regeneration. Referred to as photobiomodulation (PMB) – with a little training, this treatment is a fairly short learning curve to adding indispensable daily aid to patient care in any clinical practice.
Course Content
Soft tissue surgery: Gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, frenectomy and frenotomy, vestibuloplasty, operculectomy, troughing, depigmentation, arrest of haemorrhage
Photobiomodulation therapy: Accelerated healing, reduce pain and swelling, treat aphthous and herpetic ulceration, lichen planus, management of TMD, earlier and enhanced osseous-integration with implants, accelerated orthodontic tooth movement & the management of trauma including nerve damage.
Periodontal management: Bacterial reduction and periodontal therapy for early to moderate chronic adult periodontitis
Endodontics: Bacterial reduction, activation of irrigants, decontamination of sinus tracts
More: Desensitization, prevention of caries & management protocols and more. Optimum settings for initiation, how to check and calibrate your laser etc. + Take home your own copy of DeLTA Guidelines to Diode Laser Treatments.
