Minimally Invasive Periodontics – How lasers can enhance Periodontal and Peri-Implant treatment outcomes
Lecturers: Dr. Rana Al-Falaki & Dentist Alex Hartmann
This lecture will explore the use of all-tissue lasers in periodontal therapy, outlining the latest research, the advantages in terms of patient-centred outcomes as well as clinical outcomes, and demonstrating its use in flapless bone regeneration and peri-implantitis management.
With improvement and more high quality research emerging on laser and a better understanding of different laser wavelengths and their potential uses, the use of certain lasers in periodontics and particularly peri-implantitis treatment is increasing. This lecture will explore the benefits, and myths around this subject, helping to translate scientific research into practical and clinical uses.
You will learn:
Gain understanding of the mechanisms of action of lasers in a periodontal pocket
How to understand how lasers can help to regenerate bone in infrabony defects
How to understand the complexity of peri-implantitis treatment and now a minimally invasive laser protocol can help with management
How to understand the potential patient benefits of minimally invasive laser periodontal therapy
