Report on the First Section of the Seminar on Laser Treatment for Dentinal Hypersensitivity

Section One: Introduction to Lasers in Dentistry
In the first section of the seminar, Dr. Soogol Saberi provided a comprehensive and scientific explanation of the use of lasers in dentistry. Dr. Saberi covered the following points and explained the fundamental principles of lasers:

✔️ Introduction to Lasers in Dentistry: Dr. Saberi explained the basic principles of laser technology, discussing the science of light amplification through stimulated emission of radiation (LASER) and clarifying the role of lasers in dentistry. She emphasized the importance of lasers in modern dentistry and the growing range of their applications.

✔️ Types of Laser Equipment: Dr. Saberi introduced various types of dental lasers, including:

Diode Lasers: These lasers are effective for soft tissue treatments and pain control.

Erbium Lasers: These lasers are used for hard tissue treatments, such as cavity preparation and bone surgeries.

CO2 Lasers: These lasers are used for soft tissue treatments, such as gum surgery and soft tissue cutting.

✔️ Laser Mechanisms: Dr. Saberi explained how lasers work and introduced the principle of "selective photothermolysis," where laser energy is absorbed by specific tissues to achieve the desired effect without damaging surrounding tissues. This mechanism is highly beneficial in various treatments, including teeth whitening, soft tissue surgery, and the treatment of dental sensitivity.
