Course Outline:

This presentation is a scientific journey into the forefront of dental innovation and advancing dentistry with the use of high-performance lasers. It will discuss the transformative power of high-powered dual wavelength Er:YAG (2,940nm) and Nd:YAG (1,064nm) free running lasers. The Er:YAG laser can seamlessly perform anesthetic-free restorative tooth preparations across multiple quadrants in a single appointment increasing revenues while decreasing time. The course will enlighten attendees on the value of the revolutionary Shock Wave Enhanced Emission Photoacoustic Streaming (Fotona SWEEPS™) of the Er:YAG laser, expeditiously disinfecting root canal systems and elevating laser-activated irrigation in endodontics, surgery, implantology, and periodontics to enhance outcomes.

The synergistic roles of the Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths for soft tissue and periodontal procedures to unlock unparalleled treatment possibilities. This program presents the scientific foundations behind these innovations, empowering you to integrate high-performance laser technology with informed precision.
