This is- sue of laser—the international magazine of laser dentistry is going to proof this thesis. We, whose goal it is to treat patients with monochromatic light, realize that the individual problems we are facing in our daily routines are, in fact, quite diverse. We have been dealing with an array of problems: hesitant acceptability of laser dentistry within the universities and professional dental societies, availability of laser wavelengths and equipment and problems with reimbursements. If we choose to stick together, we will realize the outstanding and notable level today’s laser dentistry has reached, a level many didn’t think was achievable only a few decades ago.
