Laser advantage in practice

In spite of laser technologies development and their gradual working up the dental equipment market, practical information about laser use is not sufficient in our country nowadays. Therefore, UNIDENT company as the exclusive official supplier of Biolase products in Russia, while improving technologies also improves its teaching programs for a very wide circle of dentists.

On July 16 and 17 in Pyatigorsk a masterclass on the use of hydrokinetic and diode lasers took place; dentists from the whole Stavropol Territory participated in it.

Workshops were held in our Stavropol partner`s clinic Individual Entrepreneur KopylovAA, which enabled us to make teaching conditions close to real settings as much as possible. The questions touched upon during the masterclass were also consistent with the problems of different complicacy that practicing dentists solve every day.

The masterclass was conducted by qualified doctors with more than 10−year dental practice. D-r. Ludmila Badishyan, Doctor at University of California UCLA in Los-Angeles and Biolase medical adviser, specializes in periodontology, soft tissues surgery and root canal treatment and has a long-term work experience abroad.

D-r Lorya Porfiriadis, UNIDENT consultant and medical adviser, specializes in oral surgery and implantology. Rich work experience of our specialists enabled them during lectures as well as during seminars to rely firstly on their actual practice of laser technologies use.

In order for our masterclass participants to see laser operation in practice, we invited patients to the workshops. Firstly with the help of Ezlase laser Ludmila Badishyan showed how to perform bloodless operations in soft tissues, to make ideally even and accurate cuts, to coagulate surface. Then hydrokinetic WaterLase MD laser was introduced that after the introductory lecture could be tried by all participants using technical material and natural teeth.

Lorya Porfiriadis gave a more detailed report on practical use of hydrokinetic lasers. She is a very charismatic lecturer who can clearly and captivatingly tell about complicated technologies even to people who are very far from understanding them. Interested seminar participants actively joined the debate with the lecturer.

In the first place, listeners were interested in detailed comparison of conventional and laser treatment phases and results in particular cases they face. Some people even discussed their patients` X-ray images to find out possible ways of treatment and possibilities offered in such cases by laser technologies. Our brilliant lecturers eagerly and with competence solved all these problems and undoubtedly managed to win their colleagues’ respect.

Ludmila Robertovna also told about the financial aspect of laser use, about the areas which can become priority for a clinic that uses laser technologies to increase company income.

On the second seminar day a patient was a bit late and his place was taken by Biolase brand-manager Artyem Bakhanov who had been presenting general information about equipment to dentists at workshops. In this way Artyem cured his median caries.
— I am very well acquainted with our equipment, – Artyem shares his impressions, – that is why I had no doubts that the operation will not interfere with my further work. During the treatment I did not have any painful or even unpleasant sensations. My carious area was removed, and my tooth filled, and I stood up and continued working as if nothing had happened. In addition, I was treated by one of the workshop session participants who had never dealt with the erbium laser in his life.

Soon there came patients who were treated on the first day of the workshop session. On a young woman’s example that had her gum contour corrected just a day before, we could see that the regenerative process is much faster in this case compared with the use of a surgical scalpel.

The same can be said about the boy who had his frenulum cut the day before. Doctors could see his radiant smile almost right after the operation, and the boy did not show any sign of stress.

Inspired by the examples, one of the participants decided to try new technologies on him. He needed his gum cut and treated. Ludmila Robertovna quickly solved the problem, and after that the dentist claimed with confidence that he will certainly have such a laser in his clinic. At present, we have discussions about purchasing Biolase lasers practically with every active participant of the workshop session.
