Course Description
The seminar will introduce the attendees to the benefits of “Fluorescence Enhanced Theragnosis” in daily clinical practice and elaborate on its application in the different specialties from cariology to periodontology and implantology, from restorative to oral surgery and pathology. Improvement in almost any oral (visual) diagnosis is complemented by visual treatment guidance to visual identification of treatment goal achievement transforming clinics from “guesswork” into reliable, documentable, evidence-based oral healthcare.
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Understand the limitations of current visual oral diagnosis and its radical transformation via fluorescence.
- Learn the practical most relevant applications of fluorescence in daily clinical practice.
- Learn and understand the addition of fluorescence visualization to support the transformation of any clinical intervention into a reliable, time-saving minimally invasive procedure.
- Understand the immediate impact of fluorescence on long-term treatment outcomes, patient communication/motivation, and general healthcare.
