LEIPZIG, Germany: A clinical overview of the use of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser in the management and treatment of advanced chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis is the topic of a webinar to be presented on Dec. 17 by the Dental Tribune Study Club. Participants can follow the free course online from the comfort of their own desks and earn a continuing education credit.

Conventional treatment methods for such cases of periodontitis usually involve extensive periodontal surgery, along with the use of regenerative bone substitutes to manage the disease process, giving rise to prolonged side effects of sensitivity, pain and recession, as well as the inevitable need for systemic antibiotics.

The lecture will take participants through the etiology and risk factors associated with periodontal disease, provide an overview of available and current treatment modalities, and demonstrate a minimally invasive technique using an Er,Cr:YSGG laser to achieve favorable outcomes with minimal adverse side effects.

During the one-hour course, participants will gain a better understanding of how lasers work on soft tissue and bone, of the use of Er,Cr:YSGG laser in periodontics for the management of periodontitis, and of the mechanisms through which the Er,Cr:YSGG laser can be effective in periodontal pockets. The speaker, Dr. Rana Al-Falaki, will also provide participants with an understanding of the requirements for periodontal regeneration and the use of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser in achieving this goal.

The webinar, titled "An Overview of Minimally Invasive Periodontal Surgery Using Er,Cr:YSGG Laser Technology," will be broadcast live on Tuesday, Dec. 17, from 1:00 p.m. EST. Participants who would like to earn a continuing education credit are asked to complete a multiple-choice questionnaire on the topic discussed after the lecture.

Registration for the free webinar is now open on www.dtstudyclub.com.
