Certification
After successful participation you will receive a certification "Laser Safety Officer" from AALZ – Aachen Dental Laser Center – Aachen, Germany
Course Structure
This is a theoretical course consisting of a two half days of online lectures and training (approx. 4 hours in each session).
We live in an exciting age in which technology is rapidly changing the world, and there’s no question that the world of medicine and dentistry is also undergoing rapid changes. The more that medical and dental professionals succeed in the goal of improving patients’ lives, the more the expectations of patients increase even higher. They seek and expect excellent results and demand procedures with little or no pain. Laser systems are quickly becoming as common as smart-phones in the daily life of medical and dental professionals. As with all medical devices that we depend on daily, it is important to understand the benefits and risks associated with the technology.
Curriculum and Course Targets
The innovative treatment methods of laser therapy include risks for both practitioners and their teams as well as for patients if fundamental technical, biological and physical information about the application and laser safety measures are not or insufficiently known.
We prepare you for safely using lasers by giving you an in-depth understanding of laser physics and laser-tissue interaction. With examples, we clarify the need for safety precautions in the use of lasers in everyday medical and dental practice. We explain statutory regulations, demonstrate their implementation in practice and describe laser application fields.
