Laser dentistry (Prof. Dr. Deppe)
Lasers are used in many areas of technology, medicine and science. In the interest of patient and occupational safety, the legislator has enacted the new Ordinance on Artificial Optical Radiation (OStrV) (last amendment 11/2017). The associated Technical Rules for the Occupational Health and Safety Ordinance on Artificial Optical Radiation (TROS Laserstrahlung) reflect the state of the art in technology, occupational medicine and industrial hygiene.
With these changes, the legislator requires that the Laser Safety Officer (LSB) must have special expertise. The term “expert” previously used in DGUV Regulation 11/12 and BGV B2 is no longer applicable. Instead, according to OStrV 2017, the LSB must have the required specialist knowledge. The successful participation in a training course required in § 5 para. 2 of the OStrV implies passing a final examination with at least 15 MC questions. The type and number of teaching units of these courses are also newly prescribed. In addition, the LSB must keep his qualification up to date through further training (at least six teaching units every 5 years). Laser safety officers with training before mid-2004 have often not passed an examination. Complete attendance at an appropriate course, or at least retake the examination, may be necessary. In the course, the most important changes for laser users are presented and corresponding recommendations for action are given. Numerous case studies of clinical indications round off the topic.

• Physical quantities and properties of laser radiation
• Biological effect of laser radiation
• Legal basis and rules of technology
• Laser safety and protection (incl. indirect hazards)
• Laser safety in practice: Exemplary implementation of a risk assessment
• Tasks and responsibilities of the LSB in the company

With this course, the dentist receives the required training as a laser protection officer in accordance with the guidelines according to OStrV and TROS. It is certified that the course participant has successfully participated in a training seminar for laser protection officers in 8 teaching units.
Training and certificate for laser safety officer included in the course
