Strategies To Improve Periodontal Scaling
1 CE | Available On-Demand Now
Descriptions: Research still indicates the key to periodontal maintenance and treatment is the mechanical removal of biofilm and calculus. To remove these irritants, the practitioner needs to be aware of instrument options and apply critical decision-making skills while being as efficient as possible. In this course, we will review important techniques related to instrumentation using a problem-and-solution approach. We will also use videos to assess technique and demonstrate common pitfalls for probing, exploring, and hand and power scaling.
Objectives:
- Discuss issues related to exploring and probing.
- Identify common problems with hand instrumentation and strategies to avoid them.
- Identify common problems with power-driven instrumentation and strategies to avoid them
