The Perfect Fit: Practical Principles for Matching Instrument Designs with Root Anatomy

Speakers: Sherry Burns, RDH, MS, and Judy Bendit, RDH, BS

Course Description: This powerful 2 hour seminar provides a high-impact workshop dental hygienists focused on innovative, solution, driven approaches to the inevitable challenges encountered when providing mechanical non- surgical periodontal therapy. Each participant will have the opportunity to individually examine the operating features and design characteristics of some of the newest and most advanced periodontal debridement devices available today. We will concentrate on the current trend toward the use of powered scalers to increase productivity and profitability, and to decrease physical stress and strain for both the clinician, and patients. You will learn how to select the most appropriate magnetostrictive ultrasonic inserts and piezoelectric tips for maximum effectiveness and ease in debriding the areas most frequently missed due to root anatomy. You will derive greater results by combining new magnetostrictive inserts and/or piezoelectric tips with various hand instruments to fit your patients periodontal needs and dental anatomy, while minimizing physical trauma to fit your comfort level as well.
