Lasers in medicine and biophotonics: John Colles

Dentistry and Light

M. John Colles

Lasers and state of the art LED devices find increasing applications in the treatment and repair of teeth and the surrounding soft tissue in the oral cavity. In this talk whilst illustrating most of these applications I will concentrate principally on the more controversial ‘cosmetic’ process of tooth whitening, the relatively new process of photo-activated disinfection and continuing attempts to provide a really useable optical drill.
