Lasers in dentistry. Start here with your laser safety education.

In dentistry lasers can be used to reduce microorganisms within a periodontal pocket, for wound healing and pain management, for root planing, aiding in the diagnosis of caries, the ablation of caries, enamel, and dentin, the performance of cavity preparations without local anesthetic, cleansing, shaping and sealing the root canal system, pulpotomy, blood flow measurements, apicoectomy, and the illumination of the endodontic orifice and for softening gutta-percha, and sulcular debridement.

There exists a duty of care to all dental health care professionals in the application of lasers in clinical practice. (1)

Do this laser safety course if you work as a dentist, dental therapist, dental hygienist or other dental staff in contact with or using lasers and you need to have a general understanding of the operation and hazards of lasers.

This online course covers:

1. Light physics and the operation of lasers

3. Hazards of surgical lasers
4. Laser safety and the role of the laser operator.
