    Hands on Courses and Continuing Education for Dentists

    Hands-on educational presentation. 8 CE credits.  Soft tissue lasers offer numerous benefits over conventional surgical methods, such as scalpels and electrocautery, including enhanced precision, reduced bleeding, and improved patient comfort. However, achieving consistent, successful outcomes requires an understanding of the unique properties of laser energy and its interaction with tissue. This course will delve into the essential principles of laser physics, emphasizing the "Big 3" parameters—power, time, and spot size—to maximize surgical efficiency while minimizing lateral thermal damage. Attendees will gain insights into advanced laser techniques, allowing them to refine their clinical skills and deliver predictable, high-quality results in their dental practice.

    Presented by Dr. Robert A. Strauss DDS, MD, FACSa.  Please click HERE for full course information.
