Produktbeschreibung
This book, now in an extensively revised second edition, provides information on the basic science and tissue interactions of dental lasers and documents the principal current clinical uses of lasers in every dental discipline. The applications of lasers in restorative dentistry, endodontics, dental implantology, pediatric dentistry, periodontal therapy, and soft tissue surgery are clearly described and illustrated. Information is also provided on laser-assisted multi-tissue management, covering procedures such as crown lengthening, gingival troughing, gingival recontouring, and depigmentation. The closing chapters look forward to the future of lasers in dentistry and the scope for their widespread use in everyday clinical practice.

When used in addition to or instead of conventional instrumentation, lasers offer many unique patient benefits. Furthermore, research studies continue to reveal further potential clinical applications, and new laser wavelengths are being explored, developed, and delivered with highly specific power configurations to optimize laser-tissue interaction. This book will bring the reader up to date with the latest advances and will appeal to all with an interest in the application of lasers to the oral soft and/or hard tissues.

From 2010 to 2019, he  served an appointment as Professore a Contratto in the Department of Surgical Sciences and Integrated Diagnostics,University of Genoa, Italy. During that period, he acted as International Coordinator and lead faculty of the Master of Science (AMD Livello II) degree program in laser dentistry at the University of Genoa.  Dr. Parker served as president of the Academy of Laser Dentistry (ALD) in 2005-2006. He holds Advanced proficiency status in multiple laser wavelengths. He was awarded Mastership of the ALD in 2008. Awards gained with the Academy have been the Leon Goldman Award for Excellence in Clinical Laser Dentistry (1998) and Distinguished Service Award (2010). He was the dental consultant to the UK Medical Health Regulatory Agency (Dept. of Health) in the 2008 (Revised 2015) publication "Guidance on the Safe Use of Lasers, Intense Light Source Systems and LEDs in Medical, Surgical, Dental and Aesthetic Practices".  Dr. Parker has contributed chapters on aspects of laser use in dentistry in several textbooks and multimedia platforms. Additionally, he has received publication of over 80 peer-reviewed papers on the use of lasers in dentistry, including a 9-paper series "The Use of Lasers in Dentistry", published in the British Dental Journal in 2007 and later as a textbook. He serves as associate editor of  Lasers in Medical Science and as referee for many peer-reviewed dental journals worldwide.
