Lasers in Dentistry
Certification Course | 3 Modules | 12 Days
The Lasers in Dentistry Professional Training postgraduate programme targets dentists who would like to specialise in certain wavelengths. The course consists of skill training sessions, exercises, practical applications, and hands-on training in every module to guide participants towards using lasers successfully and professionally in their own treatments. Over the period of one year, participants are taught fundamental physical and technical knowledge, and how to recognise primary, secondary, and tertiary indications during 12 attendance days split into 3 modules (4 days each). This programme concludes with Module 3 which takes place in Vienna, Austria with an examination and an official certificate of Sigmund Freud University Vienna.
