Lasers in Dentistry: Current Concepts – London

Join laser expert Mark Cronshaw for this one-day course which introduces the latest clinical applications of lasers in daily and specialist care. Taking place on the 18th of May in Middlesex, this course promises to provide an overview of the numerous clinical applications of soft tissue lasers.

CPD: 6.5 Hours

Course Overview

This course offers an overview of the many highly useful clinical applications of lasers in the dental practice.

Aimed at both general dentists as well as specialist practitioners in oral surgery, periodontics and orthodontics. This course will also be of interest to hygiene therapists interested in optimising treatment outcomes as well as offering a new approach to managing children and patients with special needs.

After an initial safety briefing this is primarily a clinical course with many examples of common management solutions to difficult to resolve clinical situations. For example: reduction of post treatment pain and improved wound healing including medically compromised patients. Excellent soft tissue control including the arrest of bleeding and as an aid to standard and digital impressioning. Aesthetic dentistry: includes crown lengthening surgery (hard and soft tissues) with minimal trauma. The adjunctive use of lasers to optimise the resolution of chronic periodontal and peri-implant infections. The many uses of lasers in implant surgery: stage two exposures, management of emergence profiles, hard tissue management including bone grafts, splitting ridges, sinus lifts and osteotomy for implant placement. Endodontics including apical surgery as well as effective decontamination of badly infected root canal systems. Orthodontics: exposure of buried teeth, frenectomy, removal of hyperplastic tissues, pain management and orthodontic tooth movement acceleration. Plus, much more: dentine sensitivity management, pain management in TMD, photobiomodulation to improve local tissue perfusion and drainage. The devices discussed include both diode (soft tissue only) and erbium (all tissue) lasers.
