The exclusive 2-day pro- grammeoftheSecondSironaLaserDaysincludedpre- sentationsofvariousclinicalcasesusingdiodelaserin everydayworkingroutine,workshopsand,asthehigh- light of the user meeting, a live laser treatment. The treatment comprised a frenectomy and fibrotic lesion on the tongue performed by Prof. Giuseppe Iaria, a pi- oneer and expert in the field of digital/laser dentistry, and was broadcast via livestream from his practice in Brescia. Prior to the live treatment, the participants of the event had the unique opportunity to tour Prof. Iaria’s impressive, high-tech laser clinic in the heart of Brescia and to pose questions regarding his many and varied laser applications. In 1996, Dr Iaria was the first userinEuropeandoneofthefirstusersworldwideofa hydrokinetic laser for dental care. In 2001, he intro- duced the first diode laser in his practice and now of- fers 15 medical and surgical lasers, microscopy-based and CEREC CAD/CAM treatments. When asked about the “magic” of lasers, Prof. Iaria highlighted three as- pectsthat,inhisopinion,mustbecarefullyconsidered when utilising lasers as they play a vital role in achiev- ing the best possible treatment results: the correct wavelength for the intended treatment, the compo- nents of the target tissue and the knowledge and ca- pabilityofthepractitioner. _The all-rounder: SIROLaser Blue Prof. Giovanni Olivi from Rome, one of the two pa- tronsofthisyear’susermeetingandalong-standingex- pert in the field of laser dentistry, considers the blue laser's outstanding cutting performance in soft-tissue surgery as one of its unrivalled advantages. Due to its coagulation effects, the SIROLaser Blue is an excellent instrument to cut fast, precisely and in an atraumatic way; that makes it particularly suitable for laser proce- duressuchasgingivectomiesandfrenectomiesaswell aslow-bleedingimplantexposureinminimallyinvasive surgery.AccordingtoProf.Olivi,theinfraredlaserlight at 970nm particularly supports the conventional root canal treatment by reducing germs and bacteria in ar- easrinsingsolutionscannotreach.Inaddition,infrared laserlightprovestobeveryeffectiveintreatingaphthae and recurrent herpes infections. Summing up the two “Laserdays”inBrescia,Prof.Oliviwashighlyimpressed by the promising results his colleagues presented. AmongtheparticipantsinBresciawasalso,Prof.Dr Andreas Braun, Chief Consultant, Department of OperativeDentistryandEndodontology,Philipps- University Marburg. He presented the highly en- gagedaudiencewithhislatestscientificresearch on diode laser applications. His research shows in particular that, compared to conventional semiconductor lasers in infrared regions, blue laser technology marks a genuinely new and highly promising advancement in laser dentistry. The scientific data originating from studies carried out at Marburg’s Philipps University demonstrate the fast and reliable elimination of germs and bacteria during periodontic and en- dodontic treatments. Furthermore, re- sults from additional studies regarding its Fig. 2_During a tour of his practise, Prof. Guiseppe Iaria explained various laser applications he and his son, Dr. Matteo Iaria, offer at their laser clinic in Brescia.
