This course examines and demonstrates the need for proper foundational skills in ultrasonic technique with both magneto strictive and piezo technology. A review of proper adaptation, angulation and adaptation will be discussed as well as features of both technologies to achieve better clinical outcomes. Understanding the working mechanisms of both technologies, advantages and limitations, and visual indicators to ensure proper utilization of the power scaling technologies. These fundamental principles will then be applied to advanced instrumentation in the periodontal patient (using typodonts) with focus on furcation involvement and areas of challenging anatomical access. Maintenance of ultrasonic inserts and tips will be discussed along with optimum water management and individual patient considerations.

Speakers

In this course attendees will:

  • Apply the Evidence-based Decision Making (EBDM) process to periodontal instrumentation choices
  • Develop and demonstrate ultrasonic instrumentation in biofilm reduction and access to anatomical challenges on typodonts
  • Examine the differences and similarities in various ultrasonic technologies
  • Discuss the need for a variety of ultrasonic inserts/tips/instruments for thorough periodontal debridement including effective access to dental implant surfaces
  • Demonstrate the steps to ensure thorough removal of deposits and biofilm utilizing slim and ultrathin inserts/tips with an exploratory approach on typodonts
  • Implement proper maintenance and aerosol control protocols while using ultrasonic instrumentation effectively and efficiently
