The second day presentations and discussions are led by Laser and Health Academy Lecturers and will cover the basic principles of using lasers in specific dental therapies. The advantages of laser-based and laser-assisted treatments and the effects of various parameter settings will be discussed in great detail. Live demonstrations in a dental practice will show how laser dentistry works in practice. During the final day of the workshop participants will learn how the Fidelis Plus III can also be used in facial aesthetic treatments. The Laser and Health Academy workshops are an ideal opportunity for dental practitioners from all over the world to interact and share experiences, ideas and expertise in a relaxed atmosphere.
