Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Precision Diode Method™?

The Precision Diode Method™ is a structured diode laser education pathway developed by Rebecca Friend, BS, RDH, designed for dental hygienists ready to elevate patient care through confident, evidence-informed laser integration. Rather than just teaching laser settings and protocols, it combines clinical science, applied skill development, and practice integration — helping clinicians move beyond simply understanding diode laser technology to confidently applying it in real-world clinical practice through education, instructor-guided coaching, and hands-on implementation.

Who can benefit from this program?

The Precision Diode Method™ is designed for hygienists beginning their diode laser journey, practices ready to implement laser protocols clinically, clinicians refining existing laser technique, and teams seeking evidence-informed, PACE-approved continuing education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to bring laser integration confidently into your practice, there’s a pathway built for where you are.

Which level should I start with?

If you’re new to diode laser integration, start with Level 1. If your practice already owns a laser, you can select either Level 1 for learn-at-your-own-pace, or Level 2 In-Office Training for group implementation. If you’ve had prior training and want a tune-up, choose the Level 3 Refresher.
