Lasers have been used in dentistry for many years.

Historically, lasers have been shown to be used primarily

for soft tissue procedures. The clinical benefits of lasers

have led to FDA clearance for numerous uses of such in

periodontics and implant dentistry.

Educational Objectives:

• Understand different laser wavelengths and their

interactions with hard and soft tissue, including the

applications of varying wavelengths and treatment

protocols to treat periodontitis.

• Discuss tissue biotypes and case selections for open

and closed crown lengthening.

• Demonstrate long-term success for treating failing

implants with lasers.
