This lecture discusses various oral pathology lesions that can be addressed using a carbon dioxide laser. Details of diagnosis, prevention, and pathophysiology related to these lesions are reviewed. The lesions that are covered are more commonly seen in the pediatric and adolescent patient population, but may be relevant in the adult patient population. Additionally, orthodontic exposures and gingival recontouring cases are reviewed.

About Dr. Paul Bahn
Dr. Bahn is a native of south central Pennsylvania and spent his entire childhood in that area. After graduating from high school, he attended Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA, where he received his B.S. in Biology. Immediately after college, he relocated to Philadelphia, PA, to attend dental school at Temple University Dental School for the next four years. While at Temple, he became increasingly drawn to pediatric dentistry and working with children. After graduating magna cum laude from Temple University Dental School, he decided to remain in Philadelphia and complete a 2-year pediatric dental residency at Temple University Hospital – Episcopal Division, from which he graduated in 2008.
He was first taught about and exposed to lasers in dentistry while in residency but did not start to routinely use them until he was practicing. Over the course of a few years, he continued to use the laser more frequently in practice and took more continuing education courses focused on its applications in practice. In 2012, he started researching more into breastfeeding struggles with newborns and infants. He started treating patients the following year with the help and guidance of some great lactation consultants in the Philadelphia area.
He currently serves as the Program Director for Temple University Hospital-Northeastern Campus’s Pediatric Dental Residency Program. It is one of the largest pediatric dental residency programs in the country and currently consists of 20 pediatric dental residents who receive first-hand exposure to treating newborns and infants.
Dr. Bahn is a board-certified pediatric dentist and also serves as a Board Examiner for the American Board for Pediatric Dentistry (APBD). He maintains active memberships with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and both the Pennsylvania Dental Association and Philadelphia County Dental Society.
