Plume hazards and precautions Sterilization Post-test examination (optional) 5.2 Standard Proficiency Course The curriculum for basic level of education in laser usage includes specific device instruction with demonstrated proficiency in didactic and hands-on knowledge. Hands-on exercises include demonstration and clinical simulation with appropriate oral tissues (e.g. cow or pig jaws), and must meet participation course guidelines. Practitioners must demonstrate competency by written and clinical simulation and examination in the safety aspects of laser use prior to using lasers on patients. This is the level of education that defines the standard of care. Dental auxiliaries are encouraged to demonstrate competency in the safety aspects of laser use. Industry representatives, researchers, and others who demonstrate and operate lasers must demonstrate competency by written and clinical simulation and examination in the safety aspects of laser use.
