The Perfect Fit - Matching Instrument Design with Root Anatomy 6 CE Credits

This powerful, high-impact workshop for dental hygienists will focus on innovative, solution driven approaches to the inevitable challenges encountered when providing mechanical nonsurgical periodontal therapy. Each participant will have the opportunity to individually examine the 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 you, as the clinician, and your 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 challenging root anatomy. You will derive greater results by combining new magnetostrictive inserts and/or piezoelectric tips with various hand instruments to provide “The Perfect Fit”.
