Hey Ron……you didnt eat or drink as much as me…….

Also I forgot to mention that it was great seeing Todd, Rusty and of course my good buddy Jeff Cranska who is getting a new office soon. The wives are also great to see, so it was nice meeting Michelle (Sams better half) and of course Janna (Bobs way better half!! and her mom to boot!!).

It was fun Bob and I thoroughly enjoyed finding out where the Peiolase is going to be in Canada first!!

Now I have to start bringing it piece by piece by piece back into the country……gonna be murder at those security checks!!

cya

and thanks

Aw shoot and I forgot Dean Moriarity, aka Johny Bravo sleeping in the Aladdin……..sheesh how could I forget that.

Well I tell you its the people that really make it more fun to go to the meetings. The education is great but the people are such a fun thing to catch up with.

Gotta go sleep…..more tests in the am

Don,
I had that kind of day myself today, there will be alot more. I hope you feel good about that.
Hey Glenn.
Great seeing you in LV.
MirrorScope coming Thursday. Will send you some PIX.
Nice work. Remember, always tell the patients to bring the pieces after they break anything.

Bob/Del, Thanks for putting on such a great meeting. Lots of info and a great resort. The food was unbelievable.

I think I’m only 99+ lectures behind Glenn, 1000+ behind you, so if you make me step out of my comfort zone again, I can at least not fall too much further behind (not that I’d ever catch up in presentation skills- you guys are awesome) .

Ron,

You were smooth, natural, and came off great. Even if you felt nervous you presented very well. You will only get and feel better.

The most imprtant thing is to know your subject and present it at the level of those who know little about it–and practice, of course, like you mentioned that you did.

Looking forward to your idea.

Glenn, somehow we ended up at Ceasars instead of the Alladin……oh well, Sleping Dean would have made a great picture. Get healthy soon! Lase often.

Ok , I am confused. My understanding is the Nd:YAG is better at hemostasis then the diodes which are at a shorter wavelength. Which is the opposite of what I would expect??
Help?

Oh, and Bob…we’re certain the dysesthesia won’t intensify right?

I got to thinking that with paresthesia the sensation comes back….I want less sensation or normal sensation…not more of it!

Just an interesting case of resorption.

Did a little flap. Cleaned out the area with the MD. 1W 13%water 40% air defoucused. Placed a little Grestore. Painted inside of the flap that inserted into the defect at the same setting defocused and closed the area up.

Good job, David. I always cringe when I see these things! What’s the long-term prognosis on a restoration like this?

Someone studying for their lecture and ALD exam,maybe?? Remember the answer is always -laser safety officer!

If I remember correctly (and I hope Bob corrects this if I am incorrect), wavelength influences coagulation via a relationship between the wavelength and size of the blood vessel. The shorter wavelengths will coagulate smaller vessels better but the downside is that they don’t penetrate very far. Since the tissue is a high percentage H2O, the ndYAG will penetrate further. The longer wavelength ndYAG will close over a larger vessel. Then you add in the difference in pulsewidths, gated vs. free running …

Good question. I have no clue. This is a similar case done the same way. The case is over 3 years old and still stable. The alternative is to extract and do an implant , fixed pros or removable pros. Seems like it is worth the risk as long as you monitor it .
