Deep Dive into Diodes in Dental Practice

This technology can no longer be considered an emerging one with the numerous applications that have been well-researched, documented, and approved by governing bodies. However, it seems to be the most misunderstood technology by many people including dental practitioners. The diode is a unique tool with many clinical applications that will be explored during the course from the surgical side to its use in photo biomodulation of tissue for healing and regeneration. This course aims to cut through the confusion and provide practical information on the applications and benefits of laser therapy so the participant can understand how to immediate apply the information to their practice. This course is suitable for General Practitioners, those who place implants, as well as Specialists in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthodontics, Oral Pathology, Endodontics, Periodontics, and Pain Management to obtain a greater appreciation of the application of lasers in their field.

Learning outcomes

Learning Outcomes • Understand Basic Laser Physics. • Understand laser-tissue interactions. • Understand the safety protocols required for safe laser use. • Understand the mechanisms of action in photo biomodulation. • Apply the information to clinical scenarios. • Apply the information to patient management. Included in the course will be a hands-on workshop using a laser.
