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
- Understand the fundamentals of laser physics, tissue interactions, and safety protocols.
- Compare Waterlase and Epic X lasers in terms of technology, clinical applications, and outcomes.
- Develop hands-on skills for laser-assisted gingival depigmentation and crown lengthening.
- Explore additional laser applications, such as bacterial reduction and soft tissue procedures.
- 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
