A Ph.D. in Laser Dentistry is typically a 4-6 year program that provides advanced training in the scientific principles and clinical applications of laser technology in dentistry. Laser physics, tissue interaction, laser safety, minimally invasive surgical procedures, and the incorporation of laser-based diagnostics and therapies into dental practice are among the subjects covered in the curriculum. In order to contribute to the scholarly understanding of emerging laser modalities and their potential to improve dental procedures, patient outcomes, and the field of dentistry, students often collaborate with dental schools, research institutes, or laser technology companies to conduct original research. Graduates of this curriculum are ready for leadership positions in the dental laser business, specialist dental practice, dental research, and academia. They can use their knowledge in laser dentistry to improve the precision, efficiency, and patient experience of a wide range of dental treatments, from restorative procedures to periodontal and oral surgery.
