Dental Laser Story in India
Laser applications in medical field were advancing by leaps & bounds in nineties. Dental applications were more or less attempted with curiosity. It were dealers trying to sell their Machines. Not many dentists all over India tried to venture in this unknown territory ! With this scenario ”Satelec” brought CO2 laser in India; It was foresight of Dr. B.K. Patel, Dentist in Mehsana, a small town in North Gujarat to understand the benefits of Laser in day to day Dentistry. His son Dr. Nilesh used extensively for Dental Applications. Meantime the hunger to excel drove Dr. Naresh Thukral to Mehsana and look upon himself the advantages of Laser. After buying a CO2 Laser for himself, Dr. Naresh Thukral coaxed Dr. Nilesh, Dr. Anil & Dr. Mohan to pursue ”Masters in Lasers” conducted by SOLA International (then it was popularly known as ESOLA European Society for Oral Laser Applications) in association with Vienna University. They were entrusted to host the 1st International Conference on Dental Laser Applications in India; which was successfully conducted in a short span of 8 months at Mumbai.
