SP-11 Laser-Assisted Endodontic Micro-Surgery... Thoroughly Planned... Optimally Equipped... Effectively Executed... and Swiftly Healed
CE: 0
Course Description:
Dentists' goals should always be to favor the “natural implant” over the artificial implant. Adequate training, experience and specialized equipment allow endodontic experts to diagnose properly, plan adequately and execute effectively. CBCT has proven invaluable in enhancing tri-dimensional visualization and optimal planning of the "Surgical Strike." Execution is enabled through Er,Cr:YSGG laser energy. This provides an extremely precise cut within 2mm from the laser tip, through both soft and hard tissues. In complement, the DOM has established itself as the gold standard in magnifying the minute endodontic and periradicular spaces. Therefore, when coupled, the Er,Cr:YSGG laser and DOM, enable surgeons with an unrivaled level of precision and effectiveness. Regarding outcome, the minimally-invasive quality of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser paired with the diode-generated Biostimulation has caused a paradigm shift in short and medium-term soft and hard tissue healing.
To quote Aristotle, “Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”
At the conclusion, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the benefits of integrating CBCT, laser technology and the Dental Operating Microscope in the service of their patients. Literature review will be used as scientific support.
- Describe the clinical steps of laser-assisted apical surgery. Videos and related materials of Dr. Nguyen's clinical cases will be discussed and used as visual aids.
- Evaluate the impact of high-tech, high expense technology on practice overhead and practice growth.
