This full-day course focuses specifically on advanced soft tissue laser periodontal applications. The objectives include mastery of advanced treatment planning as well as guidelines for recare and indications for continuing care in a laser-oriented soft tissue management program.
Have you ever wondered how to explain the laser to your patients? It will be covered in this course by role-playing different scenarios while giving laser verbal skills to use in the clinical setting. Insurance codes and fees are an important aspect in the dental industry to most patients and will also be discussed in this course.
Hands on exercises will go through how to illustrate proper power settings for tissue coagulation in pocketed areas without harm to healthy tissues. An advanced course treatment planning program will be provided to each participant. This folder will include informed consent forms and many other useful documents to be utilized when setting up or improving your laser periodontal program.
Periodontal cases will be presented in detail to illustrate the laser treatment protocol recommended. It is a fun-filled periodontal day!
This course should include all staff, including hygienists, dentists and all other team members that bring unique perspectives to laser hygiene. Expectation will be that by the close of the day each person will expect to feel like an experienced laser user and will be able to go back to your office with more expertise and confidence in your laser procedures.
