He covers general applications including cavity preparations, various soft tissue procedures (gingivectomy, frenectomy, troughing for margin exposure, implant uncovering), endodontic laser activated irrigation, and bony procedures such as crown lengthening and tori reduction. In addition, he discusses laser dental hygiene applications such as laser bacterial reduction (LBR), and de-epithelization.
