Lasers For The WIN: So Many Lasers So little Time, Let's Get on the Same Wavelength

Thursday, 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Classroom:  Solana F&G

The implementation of laser technology in dentistry has advanced greatly in the last few years. Application of lasers for all sorts of therapy is improving our overall results in a faster more conservative manner. The improvements and delivery of many of our wavelengths have taken us into new modes of treatment for establishing greater health. From soft and hard tissues to resolving pain and even improving the airway, many of our newer generations of lasers are allowing us to achieve exponentially improved results.

Wavelength determination is important in selecting the best laser for the desired therapy. This program will discuss laser therapies that every practice can utilize. This is not a one laser fits all discussion. We will look at laser modalities for all applications, from soft tissue to hard tissue, and advances in the technologies for implementation into your everyday practice. We will also talk about newer modalities, including managing pain with MLS, regeneration with Nd:YAG HILT, and airway/snoring therapies with DEKA CO2 fractional ablative QuietNite treatment.
Don't be left in the dark, let the light show you the way, lasers for the win.
