CE Credits: 1.5
Non-surgical delivery of periodontal therapy (debridement) is the cornerstone in phase I care. However, the application, especially with advanced disease, requires time, exceptional skills, and understanding of the fundamental instrumentation (power or hand) concepts. With advancements in technologies and newer theories, clinicians may question their instrumentation selection, be uncertain how to navigate scaling and root planing or what sequence with the current AAP classification for teeth and implants? This session focuses on solution-driven approaches to meet the inevitable challenges of periodontal instrumentation (hand and power).
Learning Objectives:
Determine what is clinical versus therapeutic end-point.
Review the objectives of root debridement and the implementation of hand or power.
Review ergonomics and positioning to increase instrumentation effectiveness and efficiency.
Learn to sequence and implement periodontal instrumentation for individualized patient-centered care.
