title: Verifiable CPD paper: laser-tissue interaction.
abstract: The oral cavity is a unique and complex environment, where hard and soft tissues exist in close proximity, within bacteria-laden saliva. All oral tissues are receptive to laser treatment, but the biophysics governing laser-tissue interaction demands a knowledge of all factors involved in delivery of this modality; through this knowledge, correct and appropriate treatment can be delivered in a predictable manner.
