LECTURE: Diode Lasers Used in the Hygiene Practice
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
The Diode laser has become the most utilized laser in dentistry today especially in the hygiene department. Diode lasers are soft-tissue lasers that have many advantages over traditional surgical and therapeutic techniques including less pain, faster healing and preciseness, bacterial reduction, along with no contraindications. Some of the most commonly used Diode laser procedures in the hygiene department are Laser Bacterial Reduction (LBR), Laser Assisted Periodontal Therapy (LAPT), haemostasis, and the treatment of oral lesions (aphthous ulcers/herpetic lesions), This course will present common diode laser procedures, techniques used in the hygiene department, and how to incorporate lasers into your practice

Prognosis for the Periodontally Compromised Tooth
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
A Historical Perspective Along With Short and Long-Term Follow up of Cases. Establishing an accurate periodontal prognosis is paramount to case success. Prognosis is often thought of as being “static,” established once, and never to change. However, proper periodontal therapy can alter a tooth’s prognosis, if done in time. This course will show both short and long-term cases where prognosis has changed during therapy.

Warning: Graphic Photographs Ahead
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
While the rest of the world may quiver with churned stomachs, one of the best traits of a dental professional is their excitement and joy around graphic oral diseased cases. Despite the oftentimes ‘colourful’ nature of the oral disease, these cases offer an incredible learning opportunity, particularly in the importance of early and definitive intervention. Join Katrina M Sanders, RDH, BSDH, M.Ed., RF for a dental rendition of ‘Dr Pimple Popper’ as she presents graphic photographs of surgical cases requiring periodontal therapy. This will be your final warning: there WILL be graphic photos ahead!
