Lasers are an exciting new addition to the dental armamentarium and increasingly are being used for various dental procedures by general dentists, periodontists and other specialists. When used appropriately, lasers offer certain advantages over conventional armamentarium. This course will familiarize the clinician with different types of lasers, laser physics, laser-tissue interactions and laser safety. The use of lasers for implant therapy is becoming more common in clinical practice today. Implant-related procedures using lasers will be highlighted in this presentation, including non-surgical and surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. Multiple case reports will be presented.
