Presented by Dr. Anthony Cardoza

Take your practice to a higher level by integrating laser technology. Dr. Anthony Cardoza, a certified laser dentist, provides in-depth instruction for both dentists and hygienists on laser applications, safety and physics. 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.
