MODULE: Laser-Assisted Esthetic Dentistry

OVERALL LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.Outline the applications of laser usage in esthetic dentistry.

2.Describe the concept of bio-esthetics in periodontology and how lasers could serve to achieve it.

3.Review the classification and treatment planning for gummy smile.

4.Demonstrate the surgical techniques when performing esthetic crown lengthening with lasers.

5.Compare flap and flapless esthetic crown lengthening using lasers.

6.Evaluate and compare the efficacy of different laser wavelengths in removal of gingival hyperpigmentation.

7.Plan the soft tissue preparation prior to prosthetic treatments.

8.Adapt the correct laser parameters to achieve excellent esthetic results.
