SYNOPSIS:
Has the hoopla surrounding the introduction of lasers to dentistry been more
smoke than substance? Since 1990, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has
approved the use of SEVEN different wavelengths for dental use. These different
wavelengths create a world of difference in how the lasers operate, and their
usefulness in the oral cavity. The use of lasers for specific procedures found in
everyday general practice will be highlighted.
Members only will be able to register
online at: http://nvda.org/seminars-innevada/. Non Members please call 702255-4211 to register over the phone.
Candidates who successfully complete this course and its prerequisites* will receive a Certificate of Standard Proficiency in Dental
Lasers recognized by the Academy of Laser Dentistry, an international organization with more than 1200 members in over 25
countries.
At the conclusion of the course, the participant will be familiar with the various wavelengths used in dentistry today, their effects
on oral tissues, and their uses for specific oral diseases and pathologies found in everyday practice. They will be able to
incorporate this knowledge into a basis for determining which laser wavelength is most appropriate for their practice, and be able
to incorporate hard and soft tissue laser dentistry into their practices first thing tomorrow morning.
*Standard Proficiency Certification will be awarded upon successfully completing an online examination administered by the
Academy of Laser Dentistry. The candidate must own a laser or have access to a laser, and have taken a previous introductory
laser course. The candidate must become a member of the Academy of Laser Dentistry.
A free introductory course on lasers is available on the Academy of Laser Dentistry Website at:
