Course Overview:
The aim of the course is to provide comprehensive training on the application of lasers in immediate implant placement, bone management, and soft tissue procedures, blending evidence-based lectures with practical hands-on experience.
8:30 AM – 9:00 AM: Registration and Welcome
9:00 AM – 10:30 AM: Fundamentals of Lasers in Implant
Dentistry
• Laser Physics Basics: Types of lasers (Er, Cr:YSGG laser), wavelengths, and
tissue interactions (ablation, coagulation, biostimulation).
• Applications Overview: Use in immediate implant placement, site preparation,
bone modification, and soft tissue management.
• Discuss Advantages of using lasers: Precision, reduced bleeding, enhanced
sterilization, and faster healing.
• Safety Protocols: Eye protection, laser settings, and patient considerations.
• Evidence Base: Review of studies showing improved outcomes in implant
stability and peri-implant health.
10:30 AM – 10:45 AM: Coffee Break
10:45 AM – 11:30 AM: Lasers in Immediate Implant Placement
and Bone Management
• Site Preparation techniques: Using lasers for precise osteotomy, debris
removal, and sterilization of extraction sockets.
• Bone Modification: Laser-assisted bone contouring and grafting, promoting
osteogenesis.
• Clinical Protocols: Step-by-step workflows for combining lasers with immediate
implant placement, including case selection and risk assessment.
• Outcomes and Challenges: Evidence from studies (e.g., reduced bone loss,
enhanced primary stability) and limitations (e.g., thermal risks, cost).
• Case Examples: Before-and-after scenarios of laser-assisted immediate implants.
11:30 AM – 12:30 AM: Lasers in Soft Tissue Management for Implant Success
• Peri-Implant Health: Laser decontamination for early peri-implant mucositis and
supportive therapy for peri-implantitis.
• Biostimulation: To promote soft tissue healing and reduce inflammation post-implant
placement.
• Case Studies: Examples of laser-enhanced soft tissue outcomes around implants.
12:30 PM – 13:30 PM: Lunch
13:30-16:00 PM: Hands-On Session 1 – Laser-Assisted Site Preparation for Immediate Implant Placement
• Tasks: Practice laser-assisted extraction socket debridement, osteotomy shaping,
and sterilization for immediate implant placement.
• Focus: Achieving clean, blood-free sites and understanding laser feedback (visual
and tactile).
• Learning Outcomes: Develop skills in laser handling, site preparation, and infection
control for immediate implants.
Hands-On Session 2 – Laser Techniques for Soft Tissue Management
• Tasks: Practice gingival contouring, flap design, and decontamination around implant
models or porcine tissue.
• Techniques: Laser incision, ablation for tissue sculpting, and healing promotion.
16:30 PM: Wrap-Up and Certificates
