Abstract
Acid Etching, Mechanical Debridement,and Different Bonding Generations for Enamel Prepared by Er,Cr:YSGG Laser
Jeema Dad "The ALD conference has significantly increased my awareness of the versatile uses of dental lasers. With experienced dentists who use lasers on a daily basis, I not only learned different techniques and types of lasers that would work best for certain procedures, but also had hands on experience with various lasers. The ALD conference was a success thanks to the help of the compassionate members who brought his event all together. I look forward to the next conference in Palm Springs, California."
