Janet Press is teaching at LVI on hygiene with Diode lasers when I got to LVI in November, I will ask her if she does other courses outside of the LVI ones.
I know that Chris Owens runs some courses as well for Biolase on diodes for hygiene.
Again I will leave it to others to talk about courses that might exist that you could take. Some who have used Diode and NdYag for hygiene say that the diode is a temporary reducer of pockets (Long Junctional Epithelial healing ) whereas the NDYAG gives Cemental Mediated Attachment (bone fill) with much greater certainty than what happens with the diode.
I havent done either so cant comment on that.
