Dental laser manufacturer, marketer, and seller, Biolase Inc., has launched a strategy to work with North American postgraduate dental programs. The effort will bring Biolase’s Waterlase devices to students.

"If you are familiar with the technology adoption life cycle, we are in the early adopter's phase," said John Casciano, sales director of special markets for Biolase. "We believe investing in postgraduate programs will accelerate the adoption curve and be mutually beneficial. The residents will learn the benefits of all tissue laser technology in dentistry while providing the latest in patient care."   

Biolase medical device company intends to undertake the collaborations to increase awareness, educate providers on the benefits of dental laser treatment, and to lead to better patient outcomes. 

"During the second quarter of 2022, we integrated our Waterlase lasers into several postgraduate programs and plan to continue this growth and integration over the next few years,” said Casciano. “There is a large appetite among dental residents to utilize state-of-the-art technology in treating patients. This is the first generation of dentists raised with new technologies as a normal part of their everyday lives.”

"The introduction and reinforcement of technology during postgraduate training is key to adoption of laser dentistry with the new generation of dentists,” said Dr. Sam Low, professor emeritus at the University of Florida. “Technology was a valued part of dentistry when I began practicing, but technology is mandatory for today's modern dental practitioner."
