Good Vibrations or Bad Vibes: Which are you getting from your power scaler?
2.00
Overview:
Since 1995, ultrasonic power scalers have evolved from
gross calculus removal workhorses to refined therapy instruments involving
biofilm removal for inflammation control. The evolution of the working
tips from blunt workhorses into refined micro tips to gain better accessibility
to pockets forces the practitioner to be able to identify the differences in
inserts and making an appropriate choice for the task at hand.
This course will teach ultrasonic scaler principles for
better technique in their usage for biofilm control, not just hard deposit
removal. Examples of specific types of inserts and their applications for
clinical use will be shown through case studies. Learn how to increase patient
comfort and clinician ergonomics through understanding that one universal
scaler insert may not be the best or only solution to disrupting biofilm and
deposits. Learn how to more efficiently use your power scaler to attain better
clinical results and conserve instrumentation time.
At the end of this presentation the learner will be able to:
·Understand the basic
operation of ultrasonic generator devices and ultrasonic inserts
·Understand the appropriate
technique for current power instrumentation
·Describe the differences
in universal insert designs and area/task specific
ultrasonic insert designs
·Make appropriate insert
selection based on patients’ oral condition and clinician preference
·Recognize ergonomic
benefit of ultrasonic insert handles and ease of rotation
·Explain the impact of worn
inserts on patient care and how to measure insert wear
