University Course Mastership Laser Therapy in Dentistry
Mastership Laser Therapy in Dentistry
One year clinical specialization course “Laser Therapy in Dentistry”* for selected wavelengths
This offer is geared towards dentists who would like to specialize in certain wavelengths. Over the course of one year, fundamental physical and technical knowledge is taught. Participants acquire extensive practical skills in daily hands-on sessions and live demonstrations.
This post-graduate Mastership programme is aimed at dentists who want to keep pace with their patients wishes for innovative and gentle treatment methods.
Dental laser technology and treatment concerns are typically not taught in standard academic studies in dentistry. Therefore, this program teaches the necessary professional knowledge for laser applications in dental practice taught at the highest academic level in theoretical lectures and practical hands-on teaching for two selected wavelength areas – dental diode lasers (different wavelengths and types) and dental erbium lasers (Er:YAG, Er,Cr:YSGG).
Participants obtain sound theoretical knowledge in lectures and seminars led by renowned, competent and experienced international scientists and practitioners. Skill-training sessions, exercises, practical applications, and hands-on practical along modules guide participants towards using lasers successfully and professionally in their own treatments.
Course Structure
Course Structure
This program is based on a selection of modules from the ULG Master Professional Lasers in Dentistry at SFU, which have been offered since 2022. It is a selection of learning content and teaching units from the ULG Lasers in Dentistry that can be meaningfully completed on their own and lead to a certificate with a weighting of 15 ECTS credits. Participants in the certification course are explicitly enabled to continue their studies in the SFU ULG Master Professional Lasers in Dentistry following the successful final examination.
Modules:
Laser basics including Laser Safety Officer Certification:
Laser physics, laser construction, function and safe and responsible handling.
Diode Lasers:
You will learn the technical-physical principles of diode lasers and their application. The clinical indications of diode lasers are introduced and demonstrations as well as skill training and patient treatments are performed. These include, among others, soft tissue surgery, bacterial reductions, periodontal therapy, bleaching, oral surgery, etc.
Erbium Lasers:
Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers and their applications are taught. These include, among others, hard and soft tissue surgery, cavity preparation, retentive surfaces, root canal decontamination, periodontal therapy, peri-implantitis, bleaching. Laser-tissue interactions for these wavelengths are also discussed. Skill training on models and patients
demonstrations are offered.
Final Exams:
Presentation of clinical treatment cases (presentation of 5 patient treatment
cases with Diode and/or Erbium lasers), Graduation Ceremony, after successful completion
of the examination at SFU Sigmund Freund Private University
