The LightScalpel User Symposium (jointly organized with GLOH) was held during the ALD 2017 Annual Meeting in Tucson, AZ, April 7-8, 2017. The Symposium brought together clinicians from different fields of dentistry and medicine. This event was a unique opportunity for the exchange of interdisciplinary ideas with the goal of developing much needed standards, guidelines, and protocols for the Laser Frenectomy procedure, benefiting patients of all ages. Among other topics of the Symposium were the latest and most popular soft-tissue LightScalpel surgeries for dental specialties ranging from pediatrics to implant dentistry. LightScalpel lasers were available on-site to facilitate the discussion and sharing techniques. Thank you to everyone that attended!
