The Mastership in Laser Dentistry, Erbium Module with Dr Miguel Martins is Almost Here!
The excitement is building as the South African cohort of the prestigious Mastership in
Laser Dentistry prepares for the Erbium Module next week in Johannesburg.
We are honoured to welcome internationally respected endodontist and laser clinician Dr
Miguel Martins from the Netherlands, who will be leading this highly anticipated module.
A clinician, researcher, and academic collaborator with the Aachen Dental Laser Center, Dr Martins is widely admired for his ability to translate complex laser concepts into
practical clinical excellence. Many of his students describe his teaching as “Outstanding.
”
Beyond his clinical work, Dr Martins is also a published researcher in laser-assisted
endodontics, with peer-reviewed publications investigating the use of erbium, diode, and
blue diode lasers for advanced root canal disinfection and treatment outcomes.
This scientific foundation, combined with years of clinical experience, allows Dr Martins to
bring participants far beyond theoretical understanding, translating laser physics and
tissue interaction into predictable clinical protocols that can immediately elevate everyday
dentistry.
Dr Martins also carries the strong endorsement of his long-time mentor and laser pioneer
Norbert Gutknecht, founder of this prestigious Mastership programme.
During the upcoming module, participants will explore the remarkable clinical versatility
of erbium lasers from minimally invasive restorative dentistry to advanced endodontic
and soft-tissue procedures.
Through hands-on training, case discussions, and deep clinical insight, this module
consistently becomes one of the most exciting and transformative experiences of
the entire Mastership programme.
We look forward to welcoming everyone soon for what promises to be an inspiring
and unforgettable learning experience.

Congratulations to Dr Mantoa Tsholo, Phenyo Matebesi and team on your new premium Vatech PaX-i Plus Panoramic X-Ray!
Powered by Vatech’s industry-leading imaging technology, it delivers crystal-clear diagnostics for major clinical information, with ultra-low radiation, comparable to the natural radiation from eating a few bananas or a 1-2 hour flight.
Upgrading hard-working dental technology is brilliant for dentists and patients not only for the major technology advancements, but modern systems like the PaX-i Plus follow ALARA radiation principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).
Paired with SciVision’s expert training and support, this system boosts diagnostic precision, treatment planning, and patient confidence.

What do you get when you find 3 South Africans and a Canadian? Top 4 MSc. Laser Dentists of 2019 (AALZ)
A proud moment for South African and Canadian Dentistry, representing the top four positions of the post-graduate ‘Master of Science, Lasers in Dentistry’ Class at RWTH Aachen University’s Laser Centre (AALZ). The South African Masters started their laser education in South Africa’s very first Mastership Diploma course in 2017, after which they decided to take it to the Master Degree level, the MSc. at Aachen University in Germany. Two years later, they have made South Africa proud by raising the bar a bit higher. The two years of hard work and post-graduate research, many flights and trains to Germany, and time out of the practice has changed their everyday dentistry forever.
Second from left: Dr Jacques Ferreira from Standerton, South Africa achieved ‘Cum Laude’ and the university’s fifth ever achiever of this ‘level of excellence’ in 15 years.
Far left: Dr Bryan Sher from Green Point, Cape Town earns another feather in his cap, alongside his BSc. and Honours in Physiology, BChD in Dentistry, he achieves his MSc. in Lasers in Dentistry second in the international class at Aachen University. [Dr Sher acquired his two dental lasers in 2016, the Epic 940nm and Waterlase Er,Cr:YSGG 2780nm. He now combines the Waterlase Fractional Ablative Handpiece for skin rejuvenation, wrinkle and scar treatment with the advanced Er,Cr:YSGG, water and air combination for faster healing.]
Third from left: Dr Awie Thomas from Vredendal doubles the Western Cape success by claiming SA’s third position on the MSc. Laser Podium. [Dr Thomas started his laser journey with a Sirolase 980nm before acquiring his Epic 940nm Diode and Waterlase Er,Cr:YSGG 2780nm, to which he has now added the Fractional Ablative Handpiece to treat Vredendal patients’ scars, wrinkles and provide the latest minimally invasive skin rejuvenation with Er,Cr:YSGG.]
Far right: Made in Canada, Dr Dean Sexsmith from Saskatchewan, Canada has been providing complete dental care by safeguarding Lloydminster patients’ smiles with general, preventative, cosmetic and endodontic dentistry with the advances of lasers since 2004. [Dr Sexsmith uses Waterlase Er,Cr:YSGG 2780nm and Epic Diode 940nm.]
We can only imagine how much these gentlemen are going to miss their student life of laser classes, talking sci-fi, physics, absorption, joules and scattering on a level that only they can fathom, and continuing it over German pints. Thanks to pioneers like these, it’s not like science fiction anymore, but through understanding, it’s the reality of world-changing technology that describes high-level medicine today. Tomorrow, it’s computers a million time faster through aiding quantum computing.
Can you imagine getting surgery on your cornea without the precision of laser? It’s not the eighties, and the characteristic ability to precisely cut and target makes lasers particularly attractive to aid minimally invasive treatments, solve problems and aid new treatments in the dental practice. Over the past two decades, lasers have become common in the practice of modern dentistry, adding a gentle rushing air or popping water sound to the dental suites rather than the whine of the dental drill.
South Africa has always been praised for raising good dentists. It is no surprise that South Africa has a large community of early adopters of dental laser technology, and close to 50 Mastership level qualified dentists, specialists and one hygienist.
The Master program is designed to enable dentists to treat patients with laser adjuvants and laser based therapeutic methods as highly qualified specialists, and in a responsible manner. MSc. laser dentists are qualified to train users on a variety of dental lasers and wavelengths, Er,Cr:YSGG, Er:YAG, and Diode Lasers, as well as Photobiomodulation (PBM). In the words of Prof. Dr. Norbert Gutknecht, Executive Director of the Master Program, “The South African group this year have taken the standard of lasers in dentistry to a new level.”
Mastership Cape Town 2020: South Africa will host its fourth Mastership Course for a limited number of local and international dental practitioners from 15 March 2020 in Cape Town. It will cover three modules over 9 days followed by practical application and presentation of 5 clinical cases, and the final examination module one year later in South Africa or Germany. The Mastership can be combined with the full MSc. Degree in Aachen, Germany. For more information, visit scivisionmedical.com/mastership
Master Workshops: Look out for training workshops and mentoring opportunities with these MSc. laser dentists and trainers to fast-track your incorporation of this most advanced technology in dentistry. Learning can be so much fun from a good teacher.
Many say laser technology rates as the highest in terms of "cool" that humans have achieved. Lasers are a fast train on the move and it seems that the implications of laser tech is limited only by learning, imagination and funding.
