Laser technology is transforming modern dentistry, with All-Tissue YSGG lasers playing a crucial role in a variety of clinical applications. From paediatric treatments to surgical extractions and even veneer removal, this advanced technology is fast becoming an essential tool for dental professionals.
This comprehensive course is designed to introduce clinicians to the principles of laser physics, laser safety, and the fundamentals of the Waterlase (YSGG) system. It also provides an opportunity to gain certification through the WCLI Associate Fellowship Exam.
Course Overview
Participants will gain a foundational understanding of laser physics and safety requirements, ensuring they meet both national and local regulations. The course also delves into the practical applications of all-tissue lasers, equipping attendees with the skills and knowledge needed to integrate this technology into their daily practice.
A key highlight of the course is the hands-on training, allowing clinicians to witness real-world case studies and research-backed techniques. By the end of the training, attendees will feel confident in their ability to utilise Waterlase technology effectively.
Clinicians will also have the option to sit the WCLI Associate Fellowship Exam upon completion of the theory component. To be eligible for the exam, participants must first complete the online Waterlase Physics and Safety Training Course.
