Keynote Address: Non-Invasive Clinical Applications of Fractional Laser Treatments in Surgery, Implants, Airway Sleep Disorders, Aesthetics and Practical Patient Protocols

Learn from an accomplished clinician, author and subject matter expert in malocclusion, craniofacial growth and laser dentistry how to perform minimally invasive laser treatments, enhance your patient care and profitably grow your practice. Make difficult cases easier and reduce stress from infant and adult frenectomies to more advanced surgical procedures, this comprehensive yet intuitive program will teach you successful implementation and use of innovative dental laser technologies to perform multiple minimally invasive treatments. This program begins with fundamental concepts backed by evidence based research and clearly explains the difference between the different dental lasers available on the market today. The importance of wavelength selection, delivery systems proper system settings and technique will focus on surgical precision and the the most effective least invasive clinical outcomes. Beyond the scientific, technical and clinical overview, the program will justify the financial and practical relevancе for investing in dental laser technology.

What You Will Learn:

• Fundamentals of Laser Tissue Interaction & the Importance of WAVELENGTH

• How lasers can save time, reduce stress & make difficult cases easier, such as

• adult and infant labial & lingual frenectomies
• virtually bloodless soft tissue surgeries. airway /snoring treatments periodontal therapy and periimplantitis

Plus....Practical Considerations for Implementation

· Educating & Motivating Staff and Educating Your Patients

• Marketing the VALUE & Benefits of Dental Laser Technology
• Return On Investment & Total Cost of Ownership

And....The Latest technical Innovations in Laser Dentistry including Fractional Laser Technology

Airway disorders in adults and children have become an increasingly important area of interest for general dentistry and an opportunity exists for dentists to play an integral role working together with clinicians to diagnose and treat a variety of airway disorders. The subject matter of this educational program will address the role of laser technology in the treatment of breathing disorders affecting pediatric and adult patients including snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). One of the main factors driving this growth opportunity in dental care appears to be increased awareness of the long term effects of obstructive sleep apnea, including links to other diseases (cardiovascular, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cognitive impairments) as well as alternative technologies (appliances), procedures and treatment options.

Tens of millions of patients suffer from the side effects of snoring and sleep apnea. Learn about the role of lasers for the treatment of snoring including case selection, limitations and co-therapies. Understand the essential role 'dentists can play in the treatment of snoring and improvement in their patients’ quality of life addressing restless sleep, anxiety, cognitive abilities and depression. The keynote address will cover diagnosis, case selection, limitations of treatment, practice integration and technology including the minimally invasive laser treatment protocol and the value of imaging and photography associated with diagnosis and treatment. Finally, review of the science including alternative technologies (by wavelength) and technique will demonstrate the role lasers can play in performing office based minimally invasive treatments for snoring and other symptoms of breathing disorders in adults and children.
