Lasers are used for more effective debridement, scaling and planning, with less pain and bleeding. Hygienists can detect sub- and supra-gingival calculus, remove the bacteria in pockets, and remove granulation, among other treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoft-tissue Lasers in Dental Hygiene\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to explain laser use in periodontal therapy. Authors Jessica Blayden and Angie Mott are registered dental hygienists who have been using laser therapy in their dental hygiene practices for several years, and here they share their experience. Blayden and Mott begin by discussing laser history, physics, components, and safety. They then describe the specifics of periodontal therapy—what lasers can be used for, how to implement them, techniques, and protocols. The authors also present case studies that demonstrate how treatment plans are implemented for varying levels of periodontal disease. The authors conclude with chapters on patient communication and practice management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Laser history 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Laser physics 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Laser components 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Lasers available in dentistry 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Periodontal therapy 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 What can be achieved with lasers: possible guided-tissue regeneration 61\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Laser applications for the dental hygienist 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 How to implement lasers in dental hygiene 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Communication skills for the dental hygienist 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Insurance codes: how is laser paid for? 107\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Laser cases 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix: further educational options for laser dental hygienists 219\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 223\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Medicine: general issues [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Medicine: general issues\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Medicine:%20general%20issues%20%5BMB%5D%22\"\u003eMB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52278161801496,"sku":"9780470958544","price":57.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470958544.jpg?v=1781458715","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/soft-tissue-lasers-in-dental-hygiene-paperback-softback-9780470958544","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
