7 Foreword We have known Dr. Giovanni Olivi for more than 15 years. During this time we have had the pleasure to concurrently speak at different international congress venues about the use of lasers in dentistry. In all of them Dr. Olivi s conferences have been exceptional, presenting clinical cases and welldocumented research. We believe that this book will be of great help for those who want to know more about the applications of lasers in dentistry, and we hope it will be a reference book in this field.
