RESONATING ON A GLOBAL SCALE
It was 14 years ago that a group of dental professionals, galvanized by the possibilities of dental lasers, came together to form the World Clinical Laser Institute (WCLI). Back in Y2K, dental laser technology was just emerging. Dental lasers showed exceptional promise, but protocols and clinical efficacy were not well defined – or accepted – by many in dentistry.
PERIODONTAL DISEASE: MEET YOUR NEW WORST ENEMY
For years, researchers, periodontists and general dentists have utilized Er,Cr:YSGG lasers as an adjunct to traditional periodontal treatment techniques. Now, with a definitive periodontal protocol in place, Er,Cr:YSGG laser owners have a guide for treating moderate to severe periodontitis with ideal clinical results.
