PBM: The Magic Laser That Nobody Knows About
by Dr. Bob Convissar

Though the first research on low level lasers began in 1967, most dentist are unfamiliar with low level – or PBM – lasers. These lasers are non-surgical devices. They cannot be used for cutting tissue – they are purely palliative in nature. These lasers have been shown not only to decrease intraoperative and postoperative pain, but many studies have shown PBM therapy to improve healing for many surgical procedures – including faster implant integration and higher tensile wound strength.

This course will discuss the use of PBMS for virtually every discipline in dentistry – from simply blocking the gag reflex in patients to eliminating the use of injection analgesia in pediatric patients during operative dentistry procedures to increase the healing rate after surgical procedures. 


Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
                                
  • Understand what is PBM
  •                                 
  • familiarize with the different disciplines in dentistry that use PBM lasers
  •                                 
  • Familiarize with the literature covering PBM lasers
Dr. Robert Convissar is a pioneer in the field of laser dentistry. One of the first dentists in the world to incorporate lasers into general practice he has close to 4 decades of experience with CO2, Diode, Erbium, Nd.YAG and PBM wavelengths.
He has authored over fifteen peer-reviewed papers and 7 laser textbooks. An international lecturer from New York to London to Sydney to Tokyo to Dubai to Bahrain to Saudi Arabia and everywhere in between, he has delivered close to 400 Laser Certification and Laser Tongue Tie Certification courses worldwide. He practices laser-assisted dentistry in New York City. He is the only dentist in the world to have the triad of awards:

• Diplomate of the American Board of Laser Surgery
• Fellow of the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery
• Master of the Academy of Laser Dentistry
As well as being a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry

His seminal textbook Principles and Practice of Laser Dentistry, now in its 3rd edition, has been the standard textbook on laser dentistry for over a decade – translated into Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, and Polish, with more translations pending. He is the co-author of Color Atlas of Tongue Tie and Lip Tie Laser Frenectomy – the first textbook in the world on the subject. He practices laser dentistry in New York City, where he also serves as Director of Laser Dentistry at New York Presbyterian Hospital of Queens.
