Mastering Diode Lasers in Dentistry
Dr. Phang Hui Jing
Overview
Diode lasers have become increasingly popular in dental practices due to their versatility and precision. With wavelengths ranging from 810 nm to 1064 nm, diode lasers like the Gemini EVO™ laser are highly effective in soft tissue procedures, offering excellent absorption in hemoglobin, pigments, and melanin. This makes them ideal for ablating tissues while ensuring haemostasis with minimal discomfort for patients.
Join us for an informative webinar on the Gemini EVO diode laser and gain the knowledge needed to leverage this advanced technology. In this session, you’ll:
- Understand laser physics, including how diode lasers work and their interactions with different tissue types
- Explore applications in endodontic canals, periodontal pockets, and surgical sites to effectively reduce bacterial counts
- Learn techniques for achieving optimal clinical outcomes in soft tissue management with minimal trauma and faster healing
- Discover the fundamentals and applications of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, including how it can be used to enhance tissue healing, reduce pain, and improve overall patient outcomes
By the end of the webinar, you’ll not only understand the science behind diode lasers but also:
- Be equipped with the knowledge of advanced procedures with the Gemini EVO laser, enhancing patient care and expanding your practice’s capabilities
- Appreciate the advantages of diode lasers over monopolar electrosurgical units, including safe use for patients with pacemakers
