After an overview of the principles, mechanisms and types of lasers in periodontal therapy, you will delve into how lasers can be used in practice and how they affect hard and soft tissues and implants. To conclude the session, Dr. Assery provides you with case studies and examples comparing laser-assisted periodontal therapy and conventional therapy.

Learning Objectives:

1. Laser fundamentals

  • Explain the basic principles of lasers, including the types of lasers commonly used in periodontics and implant dentistry (e.g., diode, Nd;YAG, Er:YAG).
  • Describe how lasers interact with different types of tissues and how these interactions benefit periodontal treatment.

2. Identify clinical applications of lasers in periodontics

  • Outline the various periodontal and implant procedures where lasers can be used, such as pocket debridement, gingivectomy, and implant surface decontamination.
  • Discuss the benefits and limitations of laser use in treating periodontal disease.
  • Explain the photobiomodulatory effects of lasers on periodontal tissues.
