The World Health Organization WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding of infants in the first six months of life when possible, and partial breastfeeding alongside complementary foods for up to two years of age or beyond [ 3 ].

Consequently, Danish exclusive breastfeeding rates drop markedly around four months after birth [ 8 ]. A social gradient in breastfeeding has been documented in high-income countries [ 4 , 9 , 10 ] including Denmark [ 11 ].

Young mothers and mothers with a low socioeconomic position SEP are the least likely to initiate breastfeeding and most likely to cease breastfeeding before six months [ 12 , 13 ].

However, a recent study found that after adjusting for psychosocial factors such as breastfeeding self-efficacy and sense-of-security, education no longer had a prognostic effect on the duration of exclusive breastfeeding [ 14 ], implying that efforts to underpin self-efficacy and sense-of-security may reduce the social gradient.

Previous research has found that early breastfeeding cessation is frequently due to a perceived insufficient milk supply [ 15 , 16 , 17 ] and that mothers at risk of early breastfeeding cessation require more support from healthcare providers to achieve their breastfeeding goals [ 2 ].

Consistency in breastfeeding support information is important for mothers in general and for young mothers in particular [ 18 ].

Furthermore, young mothers frequently require more specific support in the form of affirmation and recognition of their efforts, which boosts their self-efficacy and motivation [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].

The timing and frequency of the support given are important, but evidence is insufficient to recommend a specific schedule [ 23 ].

In Denmark, breastfeeding support is initiated immediately after giving birth in the maternity ward setting. Danish health visitors are registered nurses with a minimum of three years of full-time clinical experience and an additional 1. With early discharge following birth, most breastfeeding support is provided by the health visitors.

Challenges relating to inconsistency in breastfeeding recommendations and cross-sector breastfeeding support have been experienced by women [ 26 ].

In —14, Nilsson et al. Subsequently, these principles were included in the breastfeeding recommendations of the Danish Health Authority [ 7 ] and either partially or completely implemented throughout Danish maternity wards. Our ambition was to strengthen breastfeeding support offered within the municipality-based health visiting programme and to align it with the dominating current practice in the hospital setting.

The aim of the intervention was to raise exclusive breastfeeding rates and reduce social inequality in breastfeeding. Prior to adapting the intervention from use in a hospital setting to use in the health visiting programme, we identified important knowledge gaps.

A narrative literature review revealed that mothers who were young or had a low educational attainment frequently wished and intended to breastfeed but found themselves overwhelmed by their birth, the transition into motherhood and various breastfeeding challenges.

These complexities meant that they had a lower threshold for giving up breastfeeding [ 29 ]. They also struggled with embarrassment related to breastfeeding and were easily influenced by attitudes in and experiences with breastfeeding in their social networks [ 29 ].

A qualitative study identified the early period after discharge as an especially vulnerable period. During this period, e. The families experienced a need for basic, practical knowledge and visual information; they found such information online or purchased help from private lactation consultants.

As social inequality in breastfeeding may contribute to persistent health inequities across generations [ 31 ], interventions to increase breastfeeding are an important public health matter.

Previous research call for future breastfeeding interventions exploring how support may best be provided consistently, and describe in detail the attributes of the intervention, standard care and the population group studied to provide strong evidence for future reference [ 2 ].

The goal of this study protocol is to describe the Breastfeeding Trial and the standard care provided, while outlining plans and methods for analysing effects and describing other pertinent evaluation techniques. The primary objective of the Breastfeeding Trial is to assess the effect of a community-based breastfeeding support programme delivered by health visitors in primary healthcare on the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and social inequality in breastfeeding among women in Denmark.

Our hypothesis is that women who receive strengthened breastfeeding support in conjunction with the breastfeeding support offered in the hospital setting will overcome breastfeeding challenges and therefore breastfeed exclusively for a longer period of time.

We anticipate that by administering a higher dose of the intervention to mothers who are young or have a low educational attainment, the effects will be even stronger in this group, thereby reducing social inequality in breastfeeding. We will conduct a comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation of the trial by investigating whether the present complex intervention is effective compared with usual breastfeeding support, with respect to:.

Using a realist evaluation approach, we investigate the relationship between context, mechanisms and outcomes to determine whether and how the intervention works. The realist evaluation will focus primarily on families in which the mother is young or holds a low educational attainment i.

More specifically, we will:. Analyse how contextual factors promote or inhibit the implementation process and the expected mechanisms of change and the potential consequences.

Investigate how the intervention works for mothers who are at an increased risk of early breastfeeding cessation. In this trial, exclusive breastfeeding means that the infant exclusively receives breast milk after discharge from the hospital, regardless of feeding mode.

In Denmark, and hence in this trial, exclusive breastfeeding allows for supplementing with, e. Partial breastfeeding means that, in addition to breast milk, the baby receives infant formula or other diet elements several times a week or daily.

The Breastfeeding Trial is a cluster-randomised trial with two arms: an intervention and a control arm. As the developed programme constitutes a complex intervention, we adhere to the Medical Research Council MRC framework and wish to combine the effectiveness perspective with a theory-driven evaluation, analysing how the activities generate effects to provide comprehensive evidence for decision making [ 32 ].

We use survey data to reveal any effect on the outcome of exclusive breastfeeding at four months postpartum. Consequently, this study protocol reports on the survey study in accordance with the SPIRIT Statement [ 33 ].

Additionally, a register-based difference-in-difference study and a process-, realist- and health economic evaluation will be conducted as part of the trial. We have included information about these methodologies in the current study protocol.

The integration and design of the various aspects of investigation are guided by a programme theory that depicts in a logic model frame how the activities of the intervention are expected to produce outcomes see Fig. We analyse the effect of the intervention between the trial arms by harvesting data from continuous monitoring of breastfeeding duration in nation-wide registries [ 34 ].

In a process evaluation [ 35 ], we assess the fidelity and quality of the implementation of the intervention dose, adaptations and reach and identify contextual factors potentially associated with variation in outcomes.

Furthermore, the intervention mechanisms will be analysed using a realist approach [ 36 , 37 ] in the intervention arm to understand how intervention activities and resources in the specific contexts potentially generate mechanisms and outcomes, with special focus on families with a low SEP.

Finally, a health economic assessment will be conducted using cost-effectiveness and cost-utility approaches [ 38 ]. Denmark consists of a total of five regions. Each of the 21 participating municipalities constitutes a cluster in the trial.

New families in the control clusters will receive standard care breastfeeding support. The Danish Health Authority provides guidance on what should be provided as standard care. Home visits are offered to all children and their families from birth to two years of age.

The aim of standard care is prevention and health promotion where relevant topics are covered depending on the timing of the visits [ 28 ].

Table 1 presents a description of standard care. In the intervention arm, the intervention is implemented into the already existing health visiting programme.

All new parents in the intervention clusters will thus receive strengthened breastfeeding support if they accept the health visiting programme. The four key principles from the original — intervention at hospitals are adapted to the municipality setting.

Consequently, the current intervention seeks to strengthen consistency in breastfeeding support across sectors and thus to reduce any confusion among parents. The intervention builds on theories of tailored communication and support [ 39 , 40 ] and breastfeeding self-efficacy [ 41 , 42 ].

The activities generating strengthened support are competence training for health visitors and development of new health education materials targeting the parents. The provision of pregnancy visits will underpin trustful relationship building between the family and the health visitor.

The duration and form of the training and the contents of the intervention are presented in more detail in Table 2. Should families decline further visits by the health visitor, they will no longer receive the intervention.

The investigators will make no efforts to retain the families in the study. The aim is for health visitors to be proactive in delivering support and preventing breastfeeding cessation in this group, which carries an increased risk of early cessation.

If a mother receiving follow-up by telephone ceases breastfeeding, she will no longer receive the telephone follow-up. After the trial period, health visitors in the control clusters will receive the training and supportive materials developed during the intervention. Figure 2 presents the programme theory in a logic model structure.

The programme theory guides evaluation by outlining our hypothesis as to which mechanisms drive intended changes in outputs and outcomes to be measured, e. The participating municipalities were randomised for either the intervention or control arm by a statistician using computer-generated cluster randomisation.

The number of annual births in a municipality was associated with maternal educational level and age as urban cities with more inhabitants and thus more births had fewer mothers with a low educational level and young age than rural districts with fewer births.

Stratification of randomisation was performed to increase the exchangeability of the two trial arms. The intervention works by strengthening competencies at health visitor level. Once achieved, such competencies are difficult and unethical not to use, wherefore randomisation at the level of families was discarded.

Randomising at the cluster level serves to mitigate the risk of contamination between trial arms. Allocation to the intervention or the control arm is based on address and municipal affiliation.

Data on the primary outcome measure of exclusive breastfeeding at four months are collected through a survey. To gain as much insight into the intervention mechanisms and effects as possible, we collect data from various sources as described in the aim. As the trial was designed to show effects on survey-based measures, we elaborate on the survey trial design below and afterwards describe the supplementary data sources.

The primary outcome measure is studied by using self-reported measures collected via self-administered web-based questionnaires. Survey questionnaires are distributed via emails to mothers recruited via the health visiting programme at the following five postpartum time-points: one week, one month, four months, six months and 12 months.

From the surveys, we also study a range of secondary outcome measures. The secondary objectives are to assess the effectiveness of the breastfeeding support programme on:. For sample size calculation, an estimated eight clusters in each arm were used, totalling 16 clusters.

A power calculation was made using breastfeeding frequencies from made available from The National Child Health Register [ 50 ].

The ambition was to raise the proportion of women breastfeeding at four months in the intervention clusters to the national level.

The observed difference in the proportion of women exclusively breastfeeding for a minimum of four months corresponds to an odds ratio of 1.

In the power calculations, an interclass correlation coefficient ICC of 0. In each cluster, the sample size was extended to ensure that a minimum of 52 mothers were young or had low educational attainment.

The health visitors will recruit the families during their first visit after birth. Health visitors have been instructed to inform about the project verbally and in writing in families where the mother meets the eligibility criteria see information sheet in Appendix A.

Furthermore, the health visitor assesses whether the mothers qualify for the intensified intervention based on her age and educational level. Participation in the survey and the intensified intervention are independent, i. Municipalities will stop recruiting when the required number of mothers with data from the first three questionnaires has been reached, as outlined in the description of the sample size calculation.

The data collection period commenced on 26 April , in both trial arms. From mid-June it has been possible to assess the full intervention in the intervention clusters, including monitoring the effect achieved by introducing breastfeeding counselling in the pregnancy visit.

Local variations will exist in the duration of data collection due to a varying number of births in the clusters. Data collection is projected to end by October in the municipalities with fewest births.

The questionnaires are distributed to families via personal emails and followed up by two reminders sent by text message SMS. Mothers for whom reading and filling out a questionnaire are very challenging are offered a phone call or Microsoft Teams call by a project student assistant who will help them complete the questionnaire.

At recruitment, the mother will decide whether to accept or decline this offer. An overview of the data collection timeline is given in Fig. We use random allocation to remove any influence of both measured and unmeasured variables on treatment allocation.

Before conducting regression analyses, descriptive statistics will be applied to assess selection into the trial, baseline equivalence of trial arms and loss to follow-up. Regression analyses will be applied when analysing primary outcomes.

We will account for the clustered nature of data by using random effects models for binary and continuous outcomes [ 51 ] and shared frailty models for analysing time-to-event and recurrent events in continuous outcomes [ 52 ].

Intention-to-treat analyses will be conducted. These analyses will include all mother-infant dyads in the relevant trial arms irrespective of their compliance or loss to follow-up. Complete-case analyses will be conducted restricted to observations with available outcome measures [ 53 ].

For the intention-to-treat analyses, the survey data will be linked to the Danish national registers including all births; and missing outcome data will be handled by inverse probability weighting and missing covariates by multiple imputation from the registers.

The probability weights will be estimated by conducting logistic regressions with outcome data yes vs. The effect of the intensified intervention will be examined by including an interaction term between treatment arms and a binary indicator of the mother being young or having low educational attainment.

As the randomisation will hopefully have distributed the characteristics evenly between trial arms, these adjustments are made to increase the robustness of the effect estimations. Missing predictors will be imputed using multiple imputations and the results compared to the complete case analysis.

To validate the robustness of the results, the following sensitivity analyses will be performed: First, data will be restricted to mothers having received the full intervention, i. The Danish nationwide registries will further allow detailed assessment of selection into the trial Table 3.

Selection into the trial will be examined using register data from , again using inverse probability weighting to assess potential selection effects. In the National Child Health Register, municipalities have been required to report data on exclusive breastfeeding since The advantage of this approach is that it will provide an estimate of the effect if treatment is upscaled to the entire country.

The effect of the intensified intervention in the difference-in-difference analyses will be examined by including an interaction term like in the survey analyses.

Data from national Danish registers will be retrieved on all mother—child dyads in the included 21 municipalities from to This part of the evaluation awaits data availability in the registries which is expected in early at the earliest.

Table 3 provides information on the registers used. The implementation of the intervention will be analysed by process evaluation. The analysis will focus on barriers to and facilitators of the intervention, and on the dose, delivery and fidelity of the delivered intervention.

Data utilised for this purpose will be quantitative and qualitative. A realist evaluation will be conducted to explore how the intervention works.

Thorough analysis of the mechanisms that the intervention activates to produce the desired outcomes in the families of the intervention group will be conducted. The evaluation will highlight what works for whom under which circumstances.

We will conduct realist interviews to examine our programme theory and the causal assumptions on which it is rooted. The health economic evaluation will shed light on the total health economic consequences of the intervention, including the intensified intervention.

We measure QALYs using the widely used EQ-5D survey. QALYs include considerations related to both physical and mental well-being [ 55 ]. In both analyses, we assess two types of costs. First, direct costs related to the intervention will be assessed.

Here, we distinguish between costs associated with the adaptation of the intervention and costs associated with its operation. Adaptation costs are fixed costs that are unlikely to be incurred by potential future adopters, whereas operating costs are repeated which is why separate reporting of cost types is relevant.

Second, we will estimate the indirect costs or savings of the intervention. Such usage includes GP services and hospital admissions for both mother and child.

We will consider the longest possible follow-up period. Both when considering breastfeeding and QALYs, we report the incremental effectiveness ratio ICER. The ICER will establish the cost required to increase the share of breastfeeding mothers by a specific percentage and the cost accrued per gained QALY.

Summarizing the cost-effectiveness of the intervention using ICERs allows for comparison with other healthcare interventions. Additionally, we will conduct a series of subgroup analyses to evaluate if the cost-effectiveness of the intervention depends on family characteristics. The intervention was developed based on a previous successful study [ 27 ] and on a needs assessment [ 30 ] in a co-creation design with one to two health visitor representatives from each of the intervention clusters.

The development was conducted in an iterative manner where health visitors tested aspects of the intervention in their real-world setting after having attended each meeting.

The intervention was developed within a two-step approach: first, the contents and major outlines of the intervention were developed January — April Next, co-creation with health visitor representatives from the intervention clusters was conducted following the described iterations April — December To be able to reduce social inequality in breastfeeding, it is important to investigate how the Breastfeeding Trial works in families who carry a high risk of early breastfeeding cessation, i.

These characteristics are in many ways stigmatised in high-income settings like Denmark [ 56 , 57 ]. Therefore, it is essential that the intervention supports relationship built on trust and provides a sense of security between the health visitor and the family.

In an effort to avoid this stigma, recruitment videos developed and employed as part of the intensified intervention were tested among mothers in the target group and revised according to their feedback. Additionally, parents in the risk group participated during the questionnaire development phase with testing of questionnaires, which generated valuable input for the process.

A reference group of parent organisations, practitioners and decision makers will be established in order to contribute knowledge and experience, qualifying the project and in the long term facilitating and ensuring the dissemination of the project and ensuring that the knowledge produced will be targeted the audience including relevant decision makers.

During monthly dialogue meetings, health visitors will have the opportunity to disclose information about any harms or adverse effects. As the intervention aims to strengthen existing standard care, it is not expected to induce harm to the study population, and no data monitoring committee has been established.

The findings from the study will be reported in international peer-reviewed scientific journals and at national and international conferences. Moreover, participating municipalities, funding bodies, state and local governments and other stakeholders will be invited to participate in a national conference where the study findings will be presented.

The Vancouver authorship guidelines will be adhered to and the appropriate CONSORT reporting guideline will be used when reporting the study findings. This article outlines a cluster-randomised trial designed to increase breastfeeding duration and reduce social inequality in breastfeeding among Danish women — a population with a high uptake and long duration of breastfeeding compared with high-income countries around the world [ 4 ].

Occasionally, providing equal opportunities for all will not render equal outcomes. Therefore, the present trial adopts an equity approach in which those with higher risks are offered a higher dose of the intervention.

The MRC framework for complex intervention recommends that researchers go beyond investigating whether an intervention works by asking broader research questions identifying other impacts it might have, how the intervention works taking into account the context, and also considering how emerging evidence may be used to support decision making [ 32 ].

As such, the evaluation of a large intervention like the present study may benefit from taking a multiple methods stance. Besides applying an effectiveness approach, a realist evaluation will provide knowledge about how the intervention works, for whom it works and under what circumstances [ 36 ].

Furthermore, a health economic analysis will provide knowledge about whether the intervention is cost effective compared to other breastfeeding promotion interventions as well as other early-life intervention and other health interventions in general.

A trial is only as good as methods and design applied. Therefore, we have carefully considered our choices and based them on current knowledge and MRC recommendations [ 32 ].

To achieve as high as possible a response rate in the survey conducted among parents, questionnaire items have been carefully chosen based on the proposed mechanisms of change displayed in the programme theory Fig.

To reduce the risk of selection bias, only few exclusion criteria were applied; i. In this way, we may have strengthened the generalisability of the findings. Moreover, the contents of the support might vary according to context, be it organizational or personal, e. One strength of this study is that data will be collected in two regions of Denmark that have some of the lowest breastfeeding rates and in 21 different municipalities.

This will reduce the risk of recruitment bias and allow comparisons by context of outcomes and processes, thereby extending generalisability to other settings.

Another strength is that data on individuals lost to follow-up will be retrieved from registers, providing the opportunity to analyse important differences between individuals retained in the study and those who dropped out.

Linkage to register data will provide further possibility to assess recruitment bias as we will identify all women assessed versus those not assessed for eligibility [ 51 , 59 ]. A potential confounder of the results is that health visitors may shift employment between municipalities in the two trial arms and that mothers in the intervention clusters might have relations with mothers in control clusters, all of which may potentially cause some contamination by relaying breastfeeding-related information from the intervention group to mothers in the control group.

Furthermore, the website used constitutes a specific risk as it is password protected by a generic, easily shared code only. The role of these potential risks of bias will be assessed. Furthermore, the design of the study does not allow for concealment of allocation group.

The inclusion criteria concerning discharge from the hospital after birth was initially less than 72 h after giving birth. However, due to a lower than expected recruitment rate to the study in all project municipalities, from 18 January onwards this inclusion criteria was extended to include women discharged within the first seven days after giving birth.

Simultaneously, we began to collect information about number of days admitted to the hospital after giving birth in the first maternal questionnaire distributed approximately one week postpartum, allowing us to conduct a sensitivity analysis excluding women exceeding an admittance for 72 h postpartum.

In an effort to avoid this stigma, recruitment videos developed and employed as part of the intensified intervention were tested among mothers in the target group and revised according to their feedback. Additionally, parents in the risk group participated during the questionnaire development phase with testing of questionnaires, which generated valuable input for the process.

A reference group of parent organisations, practitioners and decision makers will be established in order to contribute knowledge and experience, qualifying the project and in the long term facilitating and ensuring the dissemination of the project and ensuring that the knowledge produced will be targeted the audience including relevant decision makers.

During monthly dialogue meetings, health visitors will have the opportunity to disclose information about any harms or adverse effects. As the intervention aims to strengthen existing standard care, it is not expected to induce harm to the study population, and no data monitoring committee has been established.

The findings from the study will be reported in international peer-reviewed scientific journals and at national and international conferences. Moreover, participating municipalities, funding bodies, state and local governments and other stakeholders will be invited to participate in a national conference where the study findings will be presented.

The Vancouver authorship guidelines will be adhered to and the appropriate CONSORT reporting guideline will be used when reporting the study findings. This article outlines a cluster-randomised trial designed to increase breastfeeding duration and reduce social inequality in breastfeeding among Danish women — a population with a high uptake and long duration of breastfeeding compared with high-income countries around the world [ 4 ].

Occasionally, providing equal opportunities for all will not render equal outcomes. Therefore, the present trial adopts an equity approach in which those with higher risks are offered a higher dose of the intervention.

The MRC framework for complex intervention recommends that researchers go beyond investigating whether an intervention works by asking broader research questions identifying other impacts it might have, how the intervention works taking into account the context, and also considering how emerging evidence may be used to support decision making [ 32 ].

As such, the evaluation of a large intervention like the present study may benefit from taking a multiple methods stance. Besides applying an effectiveness approach, a realist evaluation will provide knowledge about how the intervention works, for whom it works and under what circumstances [ 36 ].

Furthermore, a health economic analysis will provide knowledge about whether the intervention is cost effective compared to other breastfeeding promotion interventions as well as other early-life intervention and other health interventions in general. A trial is only as good as methods and design applied.

Therefore, we have carefully considered our choices and based them on current knowledge and MRC recommendations [ 32 ]. To achieve as high as possible a response rate in the survey conducted among parents, questionnaire items have been carefully chosen based on the proposed mechanisms of change displayed in the programme theory Fig.

To reduce the risk of selection bias, only few exclusion criteria were applied; i. In this way, we may have strengthened the generalisability of the findings. Moreover, the contents of the support might vary according to context, be it organizational or personal, e.

One strength of this study is that data will be collected in two regions of Denmark that have some of the lowest breastfeeding rates and in 21 different municipalities.

This will reduce the risk of recruitment bias and allow comparisons by context of outcomes and processes, thereby extending generalisability to other settings. Another strength is that data on individuals lost to follow-up will be retrieved from registers, providing the opportunity to analyse important differences between individuals retained in the study and those who dropped out.

Linkage to register data will provide further possibility to assess recruitment bias as we will identify all women assessed versus those not assessed for eligibility [ 51 , 59 ]. A potential confounder of the results is that health visitors may shift employment between municipalities in the two trial arms and that mothers in the intervention clusters might have relations with mothers in control clusters, all of which may potentially cause some contamination by relaying breastfeeding-related information from the intervention group to mothers in the control group.

Furthermore, the website used constitutes a specific risk as it is password protected by a generic, easily shared code only. The role of these potential risks of bias will be assessed.

Furthermore, the design of the study does not allow for concealment of allocation group. The inclusion criteria concerning discharge from the hospital after birth was initially less than 72 h after giving birth. However, due to a lower than expected recruitment rate to the study in all project municipalities, from 18 January onwards this inclusion criteria was extended to include women discharged within the first seven days after giving birth.

Simultaneously, we began to collect information about number of days admitted to the hospital after giving birth in the first maternal questionnaire distributed approximately one week postpartum, allowing us to conduct a sensitivity analysis excluding women exceeding an admittance for 72 h postpartum.

From Evidence to Judgment. View Sample Schedule. We made the decision to adopt lasers into our practice many years ago, with our hygienist first utilizing the Epic X diode laser. Overall, our staff was delighted with the laser technology. The Epic X laser is easy to use, provides higher levels of patient satisfaction and patient safety, and achieves higher levels of accuracy than a conventional laser.

It became a challenge to find a laser that I liked that was both a hard-tissue and soft tissue laser — and more importantly — one that made our patients feel safe, cared for, and excited about the technology used during their treatment.

When joining the Waterlase Exclusive Trial Program WETP the overall experience was exceptional. We first heard about the program through the BIOLASE sales team who suggested that we try the BIOLASE all-tissue dental lasers firsthand through the event.

As part of the WETP , I was able to touch and feel the Waterlase iPlus for 45 days in my office. Dental professionals in the dental community are very tactile people. The ability for me to fully understand and experience how the laser was handled, and how my staff would integrate it into our workflow was critical in deciding to adopt the laser into my practice.

Being able to attend the WETP training in-person vs a screen which was often the format amid the pandemic ultimately swayed my decision to integrate the lasers, and why I recommend providers take the opportunity to attend a WETP , if possible.

I continue to compare it with buying a car. As COVID cases fell and vaccinations became widely available, patients began to return to in-person appointments.

This led us to see an influx of patients in our practice and allowed us to adopt lasers into their daily cleanings and procedures. Another added advantage to adopting the Waterlase dental laser into my practice is the ability to perform new procedures that I had initially not foreseen, such as the ability to remove zirconia veneers and crowns in the crown removal process.

Prior to utilizing dental lasers , older dental technologies would be more abrasive and rough on the natural tooth. With dental lasers , the crowns come off in one piece and take seconds compared to a more conventional approach.

One patient who further solidified my decision to invest in dental lasers needed six restorations. Six restorations are no small task, but with the Waterlase iPlus , the procedure time was cut in half!
