Course Objectives:
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.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the intricate dynamics of laser energy and its interaction with biological tissue.
- Explore the transformative impact of proper laser selection on treatment efficiency and outcomes.
- Familiarize yourself with advanced laser procedures and their benefits for patients.
