Ron,
Great work. Did you start at the surface and work your way through the lesion or core it out from the edges? Did you biopsy the lesion?

I can see you are on top of this machine. As a non picture taker at this point I truly appreciate your efforts to educate us. I can also say that our friends in South America have great difficulty in attending programs and meetings and this is their best source of education so they too appreciate your efforts as well as the efforts rest of this great laser teaching team.

Ron,
Helping out in S.A. is unique and very special. Many things to see and do as well. Would love to see a group and could probably facilitate such if there was interest. Installing a laser at a dental school and providing training for staff and students would be one goal.

Hi Pat,

I agree with Ron.

I did a little trip to Honduras in 1990. Wow! What uncontrolled bleeding during extractions.

In fact I said to myself I would not go back unless I had a laser that could control that sort of severe bleeding. Now I do, but it is State-of-the-Art, and not cheap to give away.

However, MDT has a few extra lasers not in use. Maybe there’s a way to get one all spiffed up and up to spec, and get one down south somewhere???

Just thinking out loud……

Bob,

We can talk about a possible laser when we meet. I have installed two Myotronic units at a dental school in Cochabamba, Bolivia to date. The love guest lecturers

In my 12 years of third world dentistry I have extracted one tooth but have done many restorative procedures. I hire one or two Bolivian dentists to take out teeth as needed. They volunteer and I pay them &#362.50 per tooth. I just refuse to take teeth out and work on children as much as possible and others who will benefit from restorative procedures. Over time we have been working to develop a school based fluoride to restorative programs. This year we took care of some wonderful deaf mute children from a special school. What a privilege. I did have to do it the old fashioned way with the high speed handpiece.
