Laser technology has revolutionised various fields of medicine and is now set to change dentistry forever. An association of like- minded, technologically savvy dentists have come together to form the Indian Academy of Laser Dentistry (IALD). The Academy is a professional, unbiased and independent organisation with the following goals:

​

• The Academy is a professional membership association of dental practitioners and supporting organisations dedicated to improving the health of patients through the proper use of laser technology.
   

• It seeks to create awareness among dentists and patients on the technological benefits of dental lasers.
   

• It aims to provide education, training, seminars & hands-on experience of advanced dental laser technology encompassing all available wavelengths.
   

• It seeks to foster and build community among its members and dental organisations, researchers, industry representatives and others who share this mission.
   

• It is dedicated to broadening the understanding of laser equipment and procedures while enhancing professional qualifications.
   

• It seeks to offer manufacturers a forum to showcase new products and technology.
   

Indian Academy of Laser Dentistry is affiliated with Laser Education International, American Dental Association & Academy of General Dentistry.
