Course Description: The CO2 Hygiene course will provide you with the basic knowledge to provide laser assisted periodontal therapies in your office. Both Doctors and Hygienist can take this course. We will teach you the basic science and principles behind the use of the superpulsed CO2 Laser and it periodontal applications. Before applying this technology we will review basic microbiology and give an understanding of the temperature gradients necessary to deactivate and kill periodontal pathogens. Aside from treatment of the Periodontal pockets you will learn how to provide this technology for basic oral procedures (outside of the Pocket).
