Lasers have proven to improve the outcomes in many aspects of oral health. This course will explore how advancement of different delivery methods of laser energy have made outcomes more effective and efficient.
The optimization of High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) with its biophysical effects including photomechanical cellular stimulus is an essentially mechanism in all tissue regeneration. This type of bio stimulation is crucial in the management of cranial facial pain treatments and promotion of hard and soft tissue regeneration. The utilization of HILT laser therapy will improve your end overall therapy results with faster bone and soft tissue healing with providing a reduction in pain. Changes in energy deliver into the tissue can provide a wide range of therapeutic benefits. Different situation in the stages of therapy determine when and how you modify your treatments parameters. Biophysical effect of tissue metabolism promotes cellular differentiation and proliferation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about HILT laser therapy with its biological efffects in the stimulation of tissue regeneration, inflammation control and the reduction in pain.
  • Explore tissue regeneration with laser biostimulation. Changes in laser energy can provide a wide range of theraputic benifits with the promotion of tissue regeneration. Learn when and how to modify your laser treatment parameters to provide the best theraputic respponce.
  • Explore photobiomodulation using the ND:YAG HILT laser in many aspects of dentistry. See how laser biostimulation is crutial in the management of cranial facial pain treatment and the prompotion of hard and soft tissue regenration in all aspects of dentistry.
