ALD Dental Laser Standard Level Course - Tripoli, Libya

Date: October 29-30, 2024

Location: Tripoli, Libya

Speaker: Dr. Walid Altayeb

Course Description:
The Standard Level Course in laser dentistry is a prerequisite for all dentists, nurses, dental assistants and dental hygienists to handle any kind of LASER devices. It provides a basic level of education in LASER usage and includes specific device instruction with demonstrated proficiency in didactic and hands-on knowledge. LASER safety is an important issue and all those who are involved in LASER dentistry must be equipped with the knowledge of the wavelengths, user settings, care and maintenance of the device. Further, international bodies governing laser safety issues require all organizations housing laser devices to have a certified laser safety officer. This course provides all the required knowledge and documentation for laser safety officers. Apart from general considerations in LASER practice, specific uses of LASERs in various fields of dentistry will be discussed along with tips on LASER practice management. The Standard Level Course is the basic level of education in dental laser usage, including specific laser proficiency and laboratory knowledge. Candidates for the Standard Level Course must demonstrate a basic understanding of all wavelengths via a multiple-choice examination and an oral clinical simulation exam, with at least one wavelength. The course requires didactic scientific education and clinical cases review as well as additional hands-on simulation on animal jaw’s samples.
