NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: At the Greater New York Dental Meeting, Academy of Lasers President and internationally known dental professional Scott Benjamin kick-started the Laser Pavilion Lecture Series and his presentation on “Understanding the Benefits Lasers Bring to Everyday Dentistry” with a surprising quote from revered American author Mark Twain: “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
Seemingly off topic at first glance, Benjamin went on to explain to the attendees that, as dental professionals, it should be unacceptable to view techniques and procedures as rules instead of guidelines. If viewed as the former, room for expansion and exploration in regards to the healing of patients is denied, at best limited, he said.
The solution? A progressive approach to laser technology and treatment, where rehabilitation trumps amputation, and the patient’s well-being and quality of life is regarded as first priority. To elaborate, Benjamin provided a brief history of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiology, simply known as LASERS, and went on to compare the childhood experience of using a magnifying glass to beam light onto a not-so-lucky field ant to dental laser treatment and the shared truth that a consequential biological response occurs.
Expanding further, Benjamin lectured on how and why all lasers are not created equally and how the utilization of accurately applied laser- and light-based technologies is vital to achieve efficiency and an improved outcome to a patient’s care.
Benjamin was just one of many clinicians speaking at the New York meeting.
