When we think about lasers, we normally think only about frenectomies...but there is so much more we can do. This presentation will review the many pediatric specific dental uses of an all-tissue laser in both soft tissue and hard tissue procedures and the current science of how this works.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the current science of all-tissue dental lasers and how that works with our pediatric dental care.
Understand the versatility of an all-tissue laser and the many hard tissue and soft tissue procedures it can be used for; composites, crowns, soft tissue pathology treatment, gingivectomy, and more.
Identify ways to integrate the all tissue laser into pediatric dental care and ways an all-tissue laser would be able to benefit pediatric care and the patient's experience.
