Laser Dentistry Education

Masters Course Overview | Schedule | Instructors

Gone are the days of using a scalpel or electrosurge for soft tissue surgery in dentistry; based on resounding evidence from the literature, lasers are the modality of choice for cutting and coagulating tissue, resulting in less trauma, less bleeding and less necrosis of tissue.

Join our team of clinical educators and learn first-hand about the enormous benefits of diode lasers. Participants will not only learn through slide and video presentations but will also have the opportunity to perform live hands-on exercises. This course is designed for dentists, hygienists, and office staff who are new with diode lasers.

By the end of the course, participants will understand:

• Laser physics and theory, safety, including a review of the literature
• Laser maintenance and upkeep
• Getting the most from your diode
• Essential procedures you will want to master with your diode
• How to implement and market the laser effectively to your patients
• How to create a productive soft-tissue management program using the laser

TESTIMONIALS

Dr. David Spilkia,
Philadelphia, PA

"I just completed the Master of Laser Dentistry course with Dr. Ron Kaminer. Ron is an excellent, up to date and very knowledgeable instructor, who was able to present a tremendous amount of material in an enthusiastic fashion. I had purchased my Picasso Lite without a real plan of implementation for it and despite watching some DVD's on its use, it was sitting in a corner, unused. I now feel comfortable in being able to use it to improve my dentistry as well as expand to doing procedures I would have referred out previously".

Dr. Hilda Yacoub, DDS,
Yucaipa, CA.

"The course was amazing, it truly opened my eyes to what I can I do with the Picasso laser. My hygienist and I attended both days, we were excited about what we learned on that first day and the second day reinforced what we learned and clarified any questions that we had. We now have a clear idea of how to implement the laser in our practice and all it can do for our patients!".
