Laser technology has revolutionized various fields of medicine and is now set to change dentistry forever.
It aimed to enrich the knowledge of both the new and experienced laser user.
It is an Evidence Based Laser Course that equips the candidates with technical knowledge along with valuable clinical expertise

Laser is a light source that produces a beam of monochromatic, focused ,collimated and coherent light

which has now been implemented for various dental procedures.

Laser dentistry can be a precise and effective way to perform many dental procedures. The potential for laser dentistry to improve dental procedures rests in the dentist's ability to control power output and the duration of exposure on the tissue (whether gum or tooth structure), allowing for treatment of a highly specific area of focus without damaging surrounding tissues.

Benefits of Laser Dentistry?

Here are some of the major benefits associated with laser dentistry:

• Procedures performed using soft tissue dental lasers may not require sutures (stitches).

• Certain laser dentistry procedures do not require anesthesia.

• Laser dentistry minimizes bleeding because the high-energy light beam aids in the clotting (coagulation) of exposed blood vessels, thus inhibiting blood loss.

• Bacterial infections are minimized because the high-energy beam sterilizes the area being worked on.

• Damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.

• Wounds heal faster and tissues can be regenerated

Hard Tissue (Tooth) Laser Dentistry Procedures

• Cavity Detector: Low intensity soft tissue dental lasers may be used for the early detection of cavities by providing a reading of the byproducts produced by tooth decay.

• Dental Fillings/Tooth Preparation: Hard tissue dental lasers may eliminate the need for a local anesthetic injection and the traditional turbine dental drill. Lasers used in dental filling procedures are capable of killing bacteria located in a cavity, potentially leading to improved long term tooth restorations. However, dental lasers are not appropriate for the replacement of amalgam fillings, onlays or crowns.

• Tooth Sensitivity: Dental lasers may be used to seal tubules (located on the root of the tooth) that are responsible for hot and cold tooth sensitivity.

Soft Tissue (Gum) Laser Dentistry Procedures

• Crown Lengthening: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue (soft tissue laser) and bone (hard tissue laser) to expose healthier tooth structure. Referred to as crown lengthening, such reshaping provides a stronger foundation for the placement of restorations.

• Gummy Smile: Dental lasers can reshape gum tissue to expose healthy tooth structure and improve the appearance of a gummy smile.

• Muscle Attachment (Frenula): A laser frenectomy is an ideal treatment option for children who are tongue tied (restricted or tight frenulum) and babies unable to breast feed adequately due to limited tongue movement. A laser frenectomy may also help to eliminate speech impediments.

• Soft Tissue Folds (Epulis): Dental lasers may be used for the painless and suture-free removal of soft tissue folds often caused by ill-fitting dentures.

Esthetic Dentistry is actually the fourth dimension in clinical dentistry. In addition to biologic, Physiologic, and mechanical factors, all of which must be understood in order to achieve a successful clinical result. Comprehensive Patient treatment can be counteracted only if relationships of various

treatment modalities have been established.

Conservative

• Esthetic and its relationship to function – Dental anatomy of the Permanent teeth, Physiology of occlusion, Mastication, occlusal loading, clinical aspects of bioaesthetic functions.

• Structural esthetic rules.

• Fundamentals of esthetic – Light and shadow, the principals of colour – hue, chroma, value, opacity, translucency, depth.

• Principle of form – illusion, law of face, alteration of face.

Adhesion

• Basic concept of adhesion, Enamel Adhesion, Dentin Adhesion

• Development of dentin bonding systems, clinical factors in dentin adhesion.

• Types of esthetic restorative materials such as composites, compomers, flow able composites, ceramic – material aspect composition properties, manipulation, insertion, finishing and polishing of restoration.

• Direct composite restoration – indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages, clinical procedure of restorations of teeth with composite , class III, class V Angle build up, conservative –

• alteration of tooth contours and contacts – alteration of shape of embrasure and correction of diastema.

• Direct Posterior composite restoration – class I, class II, - cavity preparation, restoration techniques.

• Indirect posterior composite restoration – inlay, onlay, tooth preparation, fabrication, cementation.

• Porcelain laminate veneer - advantages, disadvantages, indication , contraindication, clinical procedures for tooth preparation , gingival retraction, impression taking, shade selection, laboratory procedure for the fabrication of veneers (Die making the master cast, working cast, firing, glazing, etching of the fitting surface, trying cementation and finishing.

• Cast ceramic lamination system.

• Composite veneer – Direct method, tooth preparation, techniques of restoration.

• Veneer for indirect restoration.

• Repair of Veneer.
