dkimmelSpectatorThere is no light used. It is a combination of Preconditioning in house with bleach, Using a take home bleach and then acid etching doing the final in house bleaching . Hard to believe but it really works well.
PM me with an address

Had a great time with all of you…..It was real nice spending time with guys that have been good internet buddies for a while.I’ll second that. What a great group of friends to have.
BTW, Happy Birthday Ron K (again)!!!!!
ASISpectatorTo My Dear LDF Friends,
It was fun at New Orleans!
The get togethers were great, but the company was the icing on the cake.
Ron K. sure knows how to get attentive service at high end restaurants and the hotel. Inspite of his frequent birthdays, he still looks the same for someone who aged 4 years these last few days.
Hey, Ron, the balloons above your head on your chair are no match to the balloons that were above our heads later….. Too bad we couldn’t hook up with Glenn and company that night….
Thanks for sharing the ALD at New Orleans.

Thanks for the post on the Versawave/upgrade.
Just a quick question…..are you acid etching approximately 50% of the facial surface of the tooth beyond your bevel?
N8RVSpectatorThanks, Glenn, for the info. After seeing the Versawave in Vegas, I contacted them about an upgrade. Because I bought the maintenance contract (everything breaks when I touch it!), they’re making the upgrade a very tempting proposal. I was wondering if it would be worth it, and from the sounds of your assessment, it would.
Thanks,
Don
toothsloothSpectatorHi, everyone!
I want to thank all of you for making my first ALD meeting a very memorable one. I got back last night from New Orleans (almost missed another flight, this time without Andrew’s help!) and treated my first aphthous ulcer case this morning with great success. As a newbie dental laser user, I really appreciated getting tips and pointers from more experienced users as yourselves. This is my first post on the LDF and I hope to see more of you all on this forum.
And Ron K…thanks for setting up the great dinners at Antoine’s and Commander’s Palace (your pics are safe with me!)
Jimmy
whitertthSpectatorJimmy…e mail me that special pic…I’m curious to see it( whitertth@aol.com)….It was great hanging with you …next time might be LDF’S first meeting…Time and place to be announced soon….. All the best…….
Robert Gregg DDSSpectatorHey Gang,
It was great seeing everyone.
Ron K, thanks for a great dinner, great restaurant and great seating in the private dinning room. Very special evening.
Janna and I had a great time and she now knows who it is I am talking about now as I mutter under my breath or LOL when I read and post on LDF or DT.
Jimmy, welcome to the club. It was great to meet you as well. See you soon in Vancouver.
Nice pictures Andrew. Seems like you’ve got a camera ready for those special events. Good on you! See you soon in BC too.
David–great to see you and Susan again. See you soon in Vancouver.
Nick, nice to meet you. We’ll connect again soon.
Ron S…..well just thanks again. You too Glenn. Everyone there knows why. Cheers!

Glenn van AsSpectatorHi guys. I wasnt etching much beyond where I etched with the laser. Why do you ask?
Don: I again tested the Versawave at the ALD meeting. Neat air water controls as well ( same system as the Delight but much better control (I turned the water all the way off and then heard only air, then turning on the water I could control the spray nicely).
I like the Versawave unit alot, its nice looking and nicely put together. Take a serious look at it.

PS was a bad day today as I had to anesthetize a young nervous child for an interproximal……first time in a long time on a pedo tooth.
Oh well…….

Glenn van AsSpectatorDavid, send me anything new on Rods technique to glennvanas@shaw.ca
I am thinking about the Zoom as the assistant can use that but not the laser at present.
Thanks
Glenn
Glenn van AsSpectatorHey Great pics Andrew……really enjoyed them. It was great dinner Ron, you do know the fancy places to go to.
I enjoyed the meeting but understand why some dont particularly like all the science. I will say this that Ron Kaminer got ALOT of interest for his lecture which showed how well the erbium healed a case of benign mucous mebrane pemphigoid.
IT was a polished lecture, on time and nice results. Kudos to you Ron. Thanks to Ron and Andrew for helping me out at the hands on, its great to have them around for their friendship and knowledge.
I wanted to congratulate both Andrew and Paul Newitt for passing parts 1 and 2 of the Advanced proficiency tests.
TO RON SCHALTER>>>>>>>>CONGRATS FOR PASSING PART 3 OF THE ADVANCED PROFICIENCY TEST……
You are now a member with advanced proficiency in the Er, Cr:YSGG wavelength and you worked darn hard and put up with alot for the test. We both learned alot from this experience, and I for one will be a better mentor next year from this.
Join me in congratulating Ron for passing this test.

okperioimplantSpectatorJust a tip. If you extend into the keratinized gingiva laterally a bit more then you will not get the peninsula of mucosal tissue between the keratinized. Also, if you go through the periosteum with a lateral scar the attachment will be at the level of the scar and thus no need for bandages or anything other than gauze for 30 minutes.
ASISpectatorCongrats!!! Ron. Great work in dealing with the surprised last hurdle to the finish line. Remember, be the bigger man…
It was my pleasure to help out at the hands-on, Glenn. The few people who came to look through the table top mounted scopes were all in awe of the visual details of magnification. I hope they go away realizing the importance of magnification in the use of lasers as you have been showing us all along.
Good work on the presentation by Ron K. But his true talents lie in after hours entertainment….
Congrats again, Ron S. for successfully in completing Part 3.
Andrew
mickey franklSpectatorGlen,I had a zoom demo last week and the result was very good but the gingival and surrounding tissue protection is very tricky, you realy need to make sure everything is covered as you are using UV light .
I would not be happy for my assistant to do this on her own.

I was just noticing how your restoration seemed to be finished….about half way up the facial. I know this is a laser forum…. 🙂
Anesthetizing a nervous child is really tough….one of my major weaknesses.
