Description
This 2 day program will provide the participant with enough knowledge and hands-on practice, with a one on one experience, to see the advantages and to explore using a CO2 Laser.
Take Both Dates to earn 7 Ceu’s
Day 1: Live interactive Webinar, Lecture will discuss:
CO2 all-tissue lasers are quickly becoming the new standard of care due to the exceptional clinical performance and completely different experience that they deliver for dentists and their patients. A 9.3 μm CO2 all-tissue laser enables anesthesia-free hard tissue procedures and virtually bloodless soft tissue performance. By eliminating anesthesia, dentists become more efficient and productive while enjoying a more manageable work day. 1 Ceu
Day 2: Lecture and Small Group Hands-On Workshop (Limited Seating)
Patients are happy because they don’t get numb, there is no pain, and post-op healing is quick. This hands-on workshop discusses the laser’s underlying technology and the dramatic effect it has on dental practices. Learn what a 9.3 μm CO2 all-tissue laser is capable of by trying it on pig jaws and extracted teeth
You do not have to take day 1 to participate in the Day 2 lecture and Hands-On Portion: The Hands-On portion is limited to a small group so you will be able to work one on one with the Laser 6 Ceu’s

Dr. Andrew Spector
For 3 decades I have been blessed with the opportunity to pursue two of my heartfelt passions, clinical dentistry and education, not only enriching my own education but having the blessing and opportunity to educate others. Being asked to Faculty at NYU in 1995 and spending five wonderful years teaching Surgical and restorative Implant dentistry ignited a passion inside me for being an educator. I have spent over 24 years developing and refining and presenting curriculum within many different forums. The simplification of the complex and communication to the people I teach is what drives me. There is nothing better to an educator then seeing the lights go on in the person’s eyes to which they are teaching. My following years in education lead me to develop for Sirona/ Paterson their first basic and advanced core curriculum for Cerec 2 and Cerec 3 . Simplifying the 3 dimensional world of those old machines was a gratifying challenge . I think back to a presentation I gave in 1999 to the NYU prosthetics department with a Cerec 2 in the room! After showing the doctors the fit on the Dye I could see their interest was piqued. I was a beta tester for Sirona for Many years adding to the suggestions of improvements in software and function To think now what Cad/ Cam has become both functionally and esthetically. Through the years I have taken to simplifying Cad/ Design and manufacturing. The armamentarium of the CAD/CAM delivery system needed to be improved. The weak area was the powdering process. This led to being the Co- inventor of the Powder –Pro™ a Cad spray instrument we were fortunate to sell for many years and still have accessories for today. In 2011 Presented at MIS implants for Sirona which led to an 8 year ongoing relationship as a faculty member at the nationally recognized THE DENTAL IMPAMT TRAINING CENTER in N.J. as I help them test, refine and educate doctors as to their guided surgical system and its esthetic advantages . My love for technology application led me to Tackle 15 years of hard tissue laser dentistry with 3 different wavelengths teaching preparation techniques for hard tissue in all three modalities. Now I look at CO2 9300m and marvel at its applications, all the while breaking down these techno0logies into curriculum that’s lets Doctors be successful. The application of Esthetic care to all these modalities was and is a constant. Be it CAD/CAM materials and application, Growing and understanding laser prepared surfaces and there interaction with our esthetic materials, or applying todays minimally invasive guided surgery technology to the esthetic placement of dental implants. Most recently I was given the honor of fellowship in the international Academy of dental facial aesthetics for my work in the field of implantology and Aesthetic care over many years.
