ADA Seeks Volunteers

AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION SEEKS VOLUNTEERS FOR LASER WORK GROUP
Posted: December 22, 2004
CHICAGO —The American Dental Association (ADA) Standards Committee on Dental Products is seeking volunteers to join a work group with the goal of issuing a technical report on dental lasers.

Currently, there is a broad range of laser wavelengths and designs available and each laser has markedly different effects on oral soft and hard tissues. The goal of the work group is to develop a scientifically based technical reference on lasers and their interaction with biological tissues for use by the dental profession.

Once developed, the technical report will provide information on the safety and effectiveness of current dental laser technology and provide answers to questions regarding the penetration, scattering and absorption of the laser energy as it relates to the wavelength, intensity, waveform and overall energy deposited.

If you are interested in participating in the dental laser work group, please contact Janet Hagen, at 312-440-2506 or hagenj@ada.org
