Staying Ahead of the Ultrasonic Curve
COURSE TYPE: Advanced Ultrasonic Workshop
COST: $100 (Members) $160 (non members) - Space is Limited!
FACILITATOR: Dani Botbyl, RDH
COURSE LENGTH: 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. (3 hours)
LOCATION: Dr. Gerald Niznick, College of Dentistry Brass Lab
Sponsored by Dentsply Sirona Canada
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The science behind ultrasonic debridement is changing rapidly! New research shows that Canadian dental hygienists are not keeping pace and are underutilizing curved ultrasonic instruments. This one-of-a-kind workshop combines cutting-edge teaching methods with active ultrasonic equipment to focus on complete calculus removal and biofilm removal/disruption. RDHs of all levels will see improved clinical performance after completing this workshop.
Participants will work with provided typodonts and magnetostrictive units/inserts.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- Identify technique oversights that hinder clinical outcomes – demonstrate the most effective principles of ultrasonic instrumentation including grasp, fulcrum, insertion, lateral pressure, activation and adaptation.
- Increase removal of calculus and biofilm – compare ultrasonic instruments characteristics and demonstrate technique needed to reduce the adjunct use of hand instruments.
- Simplify curved left and right instruments – demonstrate most effective curved instrument adaptation in furcations, concavities and curved root surfaces; state the rationale for eliminating curettes.
