Biolase will launch a pilot program with the Einstein Healthcare Network’s residency in endodontics to train its residents in the use of Waterlase dental lasers. Its goal is to offer residents hands-on experience with dental lasers that already are in use across the industry, Biolase said, allowing them to immediately implement their training when joining a practice.
“It is important for us to live out our mission of advancing dentistry by empowering the next generation of endodontists from Einstein,” said John Beaver, president and CEO of Biolase. “We are honored to be part of not only the residents’ future careers by arming them with innovative technologies, but also the future relationships they will build with their patients by offering a less invasive and more positive experience.”
The Einstein Healthcare Network’s residency in endodontics is one of the first hospital-based endodontic programs approved by the ADA. The 24-month program admits two residents each year, preparing graduates to practice, teach, and conduct independent research.
“We are committed to actively seeking out ways to help our residents feel fully equipped to enter into endodontic practice after leaving our program,” said Frederic Barnett, DMD, chairman of the Department of Dental Medicine and program director of postdoctoral endodontics at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia.
“Partnering with Biolase to integrate laser assisted endodontic training early on in our residents’ careers allows us to tighten the learning curve, which can positively impact a practice’s bottom line and ultimately provide a better patient experience overall,” Barnett said.
