This course is designed to help you achieve just that. Participants will learn the essential steps to implement a TOTS (Tethered Oral Tissues) program\, from selecting the appropriate laser to mastering frenectomy techniques and managing financial and scheduling components. By focusing on practical application and multi-disciplinary approaches\, this course equips you with the skills necessary for clinical and financial success\, ensuring the best possible patient outcomes. \nA good surgical laser for cutting soft tissue must be able to vaporize soft tissue while at the same time efficiently coagulating surgical margins. Not all laser wavelengths meet both requirements. This course touches on the practical aspects of soft tissue laser surgery and the fundamental processes involved in the laser-tissue interaction. Our hands-on participation lab is designed to train attendees on what surgical lasers can do safely and efficiently. \nInstructors\n\nPiya Gandhi\, DDS\nAlayna Pagnani-Gendron\, DC\nLeah Whitley\, IBCLC\nCatherine Kangas\, RDH\, Myofunctional Therapist\nPeter Vitruk\, PhD\, MInstP\n\nRead Course Instructor Bios \nCE Credits\nEarn up to 16 CE hours through our ADA CERP CE partner.\n \nRegular Tuition Rates (USD)\nDoctors: $1\,250; Non-Doctors: $850; ALSC members: $50 off (automatic discount); and LightScalpel users: $50 off (ask us for a coupon code). Register now. \nClinical Curriculum\n\nBackground and significance of Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTS);\nDiagnosis of pediatric tongue- and lip-ties;\nExplanation of the Function First Model™ diagnosis and treatment;\nMulti-disciplinary approach to treating pediatric tongue- and lip-ties;\nLactation support for the breastfeeding tongue-tied dyad;\nBodywork and alternative therapy for the tongue-tied baby;\nSetting expectations with families and patients;\nImplementing TOTS treatment into a business;\nBuilding and training an in-house team;\nBilling and insurance setup and details;\nCurrent clinical assessment\, diagnosis\, and treatment methods of pediatric lingual and labial ties.\nAttendees will be able to:\n\nDescribe infant sucking physiology and how tongue-ties impair infant suck;\nAppropriately use reliable diagnostic criteria to screen babies and children for this condition;\nClearly express orthodontic-myofunctional connection;\nDiscuss how the soft tissues of the orofacial complex may lead to malocclusion\, TMD\, headaches\, and other problems; and\nList and define all the consequences and benefits of using lasers to remove oral restrictions.\n\n\n\nLaser Curriculum\nThe Laser Surgery and Safety Basic Knowledge Certification Curriculum for this Course has been developed by the American Laser Study Club (ALSC). The ALSC’s curriculum overcomes the known limitations of many laser dentistry courses. It includes detailed soft tissue ablation and coagulation physics with laser and hot tip (non-laser) devices. Laser hands-on wet lab on tissue samples will include laser safety instructions\, frenectomy simulations\, and other surgical laser procedure demonstrations. Laser instructions will be assisted by the guest speaker Peter Vitruk\, PhD\, MInstP\, a laser physicist who founded the American Laser Study Club and LightScalpel Inc. \nHands-On Participation Session\n\nLaser Safety\nLaser Surgical Technique Simulations\nSuperficial Ablation\nSuperficial Coagulation\nShallow Incisions\nDeep Incisions\nPracticing Surgical Techniques on a Pig Jaw\n\nCourse Certificates\nCourse participants who complete the examination will be awarded a LASER SAFETY basic knowledge CERTIFICATE from the Board of Laser Safety of the Laser Institute of America (DISCOUNTED cost for the ALSC members)\, as well as a Laser Dentistry and Laser Surgery Basic Knowledge and Hands-On Participation Wet Lab CERTIFICATE from the American Laser Study Club (FREE for the course participants). \nAbout the ALSC\nAmerican Laser Study Club was founded to promote science-based laser dentistry\, surgery\, and safety education. The ALSC is proud of its curriculum and its distinguished membership\, including our honorary members Gordon J. Christensen\, DDS\, MSD\, PhD\, and Rella P. Christensen\, RDH\, PhD\, world-renowned leaders in dental product research and education\, who welcomed the ALSC’s mission: “Peter\, we congratulate you on starting a laser study club. It is greatly needed\, and you are the man to do it.” Other Honorary Members of the ALSC are Charles M. Cobb\, DDS\, MS\, PhD\, Professor Emeritus\, Department of Periodontics\, School of Dentistry\, University of Missouri-Kansas City; and C. Kumar N. Patel\, PhD\, MS\, the Inventor of the CO2 Laser; Recipient of National Medal of Science (1996); Member of US National Inventors Hall of Fame 2012; Professor Emeritus\, UCLA. The ALSC is proud to have helped many dentists and surgeons. \nGLOH Education is an ADA CERP Recognized Provider. ADA CERP is a service of the American Dental Association to assist dental professionals in identifying quality providers of continuing dental education. ADA CERP does not approve or endorse individual courses or instructors\, nor does it imply acceptance of credit hours by boards of dentistry. This continuing education activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the standards of the ADA Continuing Education Recognition Program (ADA CERP) through joint efforts between GLOH Education and the American Laser Study Club GLOH Education designates this activity for 16 continuing education credits. \n*Information\, terms\, and conditions in this communication are subject to change without prior notice.
