Course Description

The changing face of Periodontal Medicine and the Oral Systemic connection brings us to an ever expanding model of patient care. Many paradigms which have therapeutic implications related to periodontal therapy have changed. Expanding our knowledge of biofilm pathogenesis, risk factors for periodontal diseases, and the cascading systemic effects of these infections call for the integration of technological advancements in Magnetostrictive and Piezoelectric instrumentation methods that maximize clinical end-point in treating patients to health and wellness.

This live interactive Power Scaling Workshop combines lecture and simulation hands-on clinical education. The program is designed to teach the practicing Dental Hygienist the latest, most advanced, effective, Ultrasonic instrumentation techniques.

• Expand your knowledge of biofilm infection and the role it plays in treatment decision making.
• Discover the value and benefit of the 80/20 Principle of ultrasonic’s for prophylaxis, periodontal therapy, and recare risk management.
• Recognize the biologically acceptable treatment end-point of magnetostrictive and piezo debridement through insert and tip designs.
• Identify the most common clinical errors when using power scalers that compromise treatment results.
• Develop “new” power scaler clinical skills that guarantee patient comfort and a biologically acceptable treatment outcome for predictable patient healing.
