Society For Oral Laser Application (Sola) affiliated to International Society for Oral Laser Applications in Vienna is working on a project on laser education in Government Dental College in state capital, its secretary Mohan Vakade said today.

The move comes after keen interest shown by Gujarat health minister Jjaynarayan Vyas in laser education who emphasised on the need of it after releasing a book on clinical guide for Oral Laser Applications authored by Vakade, Anil Shah and others at the 3rd national conference on oral laser applications held in Ahmedabad earlier this month.

Vyas had stressed on the need for laser education and awareness and promised to incorporate it in government dental colleges in the state.

The advantages of lasers are; No pain and swelling, no need for drilling , bloodless surgery, faster recovery, minimum use of injections and easy cosmetic procedures, Vakade told PTI.

The project report will be recommended to state government authorities on appointing dentist equipped with the knowledge of oral laser applications in each district of the state, he said.

The purpose behind formation of Sola is to propagate laser applications in India, Vakade said, adding that they will attempt to introduce laser in dental curriculum in near future.
