Abstract
The use and efficacy of SuperPulse 10,600 nm CO2 dental laser, as an adjunctive therapy, is studied and discussed for a variety of periodontal procedures, including: perio pocket disinfection; epithelial ablation; reduction of clinical inflammation; decrease in bleeding sites. Many of the above are in conjunction with either an open flap, closed PD, and oral antibiotic adjunctive therapy.
Objectives
Determine and discuss the applicability and effectiveness of 10,600 nm SuperPulse laser settings to treat periodontal disease.
Method
Diseased perio pockets are treated with 10,600 nm SuperPulse CO2 laser radiation, and are examined for reduction of clinical inflamation and decrease in bleeding.
Results
10,600 nm SuperPulse CO2 laser radiation is efficient tool for reduction of clinical inflammation and decrease in bleeding in diseased perio pockets.

Wednesday, December 10, 2014
9:00 AM to 5:30 PM
“Dental Lasers: What wavelengths are right for your practice?” Details here.
The most common dental laser wavelengths were discussed in detail. Original clinical cases were presented to show how laser therapy can be utilized for the treatment of periodontal disease and peri-implantits. Dr. Linden also showed what the laser tissue interaction looks like with the various wavelengths and the target tissues. Understanding the basic physics and what makes a laser “work” was reviewed. Applying these scientific concepts to clinical treatment was emphasized. You can’t change the physics. However, you can learn the critical concepts. Understanding these concepts will enhance your confidence in choosing whether or not you would use a laser or perhaps which laser(s) to pick for your practice.
The ND/YAG wavelength was discussed in more detail and clinical results shown to all participants.
This course provideed a comprehensive overview of the functions, use, maintenance and research involved in laser therapy.
It included a demonstration and comparison of various laser systems used in periodontal and implant therapy.
At the conclusion of the course participants understoodd how selection of the most appropriate and effective laser will lead to the best clinical outcome.

Dr. Eric Linden was invited to deliver a lecture to the Faculty of Dental Oncology at MSKCC. He discussed the need for periodontal treatment prior to Bone Marrow Transplant and Chemotherapy. With the advent of LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) as an FDA-cleared protocol, immunocompromised patients have a new pathway to establish a healthy oral environment prior to undergoing these critical procedures. Indications for the need to reduce bacterial load in the oral cavity include neutropenic patients, who do not have their own ability to ward off infection, and thereby prevent tissue destruction. LANAP enables them to do so in an environment that is atraumatic and has quick turn around time for healing.
