According to Carson Wong, M.D., F.R.C.S.C., F.A.C.S., and Director of this session, "This year's program has a greater emphasis on laser applications for dentistry and oral maxillofacial surgery compared to prior conferences."

"Hot Topics" include wireless, portable low-cost screening for oral cancer, q-band EPR dosimetry for tooth enamel biopsy samples, and the effect of CO2 laser and fluoride dentifrice on demineralization around orthodontic brackets, to name a few.
"This session builds upon our knowledge of tissue optics and light-tissue interactions and expands our repertoire of available tools to diagnose and treat disease more effectively and less-invasively," noted Raymond J.
