UNDERSTANDING MODERN LASERS
Lasers can be employed in surgery to manipulate tissue through ablation, resection and tissue sculpting. Control of the neurogenic, hematologic, and lymphatic responses will differ when using soft versus hard tissue lasers.
Focusing on the biologic response as a criterion for selection of the appropriate types of laser is critical to successful treatment.

PERIODONTITIS
Review the basics of the disease. History of treatment, from flap surgery to laser treatments.
Laser periodontics, case presentations, before and after’s, understanding the optimum use of laser-tissue interaction characteristics of specific wavelengths to provide clinicians with greater control to achieve consistent and predictable results.
