Dental Hygienists: Utilize Diode Lasers with Success
Give your practice a boost by harnessing laser technology with a positive result, to effectively manage day-to-day periodontal patient conditions and provide excellent access for instrumentation. Procedures to be discussed include non-surgical periodontics (laser bacterial reduction, curettage) management of ulcers, and hemostasis. Attendees will experience direct hands-on activity using a diode laser on a variety of models including a pig jaw. The instructor will review each procedure in a step-by-step fashion to instill confidence when you return to the practice. Systems to incorporate lasers into a practice, including third party coding and patient acceptance will also be discussed.
