Introduction to Laser Dentistry with Dr. Hind Sinan  

8th November 2025, Leicester, Marriott Hotel

Smith Way, Grove Park
Enderby, Leicester, LE19 1SW

One-Day Course, 7 CPD Hours

Course Overview
This one-day course introduces participants to laser dentistry, focusing on the safe and effective use of Waterlase (Er,Cr:YSGG all-tissue laser) and Epic X(diode laser). Through concise lectures and hands-on training, participants will learn laser-tissue interactions, safety protocols, and clinical applications.
A practical workshop using pig heads will provide hands-on experience with gingival depigmentation and crown lengthening. The course emphasizes minimally invasive techniques, patient comfort, and practical integration into dental practice.

Learning Outcomes

1. Understand the fundamentals of laser physics, tissue interactions, and safety protocols.
2. Compare Waterlase and Epic X lasers in terms of technology, clinical applications, and outcomes.
3. Develop hands-on skills for laser-assisted gingival depigmentation and crown lengthening.
4. Explore additional laser applications, such as bacterial reduction and soft tissue procedures.
5. Gain confidence in integrating laser dentistry into clinical practice for enhanced patient care.

8:30 – 9:00 Registration and Welcome Coffee
9:00 – 10:30 Lecture 1 – Fundamentals of Laser Dentistry
Topics:

• Basics of laser physics and tissue interaction (absorption, photothermal
  effects).
• Laser safety: eye protection, plume management, and patient safety.
• Waterlase vs. Epic X:
• All-tissue laser for hard (enamel, dentin, bone) and soft tissue procedures;
  uses hydrokinetic cutting with water spray for precision and reduced heat. Ideal
  for cavity preparation, osseous surgery, and minimally invasive procedures.
• Epic X: Soft tissue laser for cutting, coagulation, and bacterial reduction;
  compact, cost-effective, but limited to soft tissue applications like gingivectomy
  and frenectomy.
• Clinical advantages, limitations, and patient benefits of each laser.

10:30 – 11:00 Coffee Break
11:00 – 12:30 Lecture 2 – Clinical Applications of Dental Lasers
Topics:

• Soft tissue procedures: gingivectomy, frenectomy, and biopsy.
• Hard tissue procedures (Waterlase): cavity preparation and osseous surgery.
• Additional applications: bacterial reduction, photobiomodulation (PBM) for
  pain relief, and periodontal therapy.
• Practice integration: patient communication, billing, and workflow
  optimization.

12:30 – 13:30 Lunch Break
13:30 – 16:00 Live Session Hands-On Workshop – Laser Techniques on Pig Heads
Setup:
Participants work in pairs at workstations equipped with Waterlase and Epic X
lasers, using pig heads as a realistic model for soft and hard tissue procedures.
Topics:

• Gingival Depigmentation (Live Session)
• Using Epic X (diode laser) to remove pigmented gingival tissue.
• Crown Lengthening (Hands on Workshop)
• Using Waterlase for soft tissue recontouring and osseous reduction.

16:00 – 16:30 Wrap-Up, Q&A, course conclusion and certificate
