NON SURGICAL INSTRUMENTATION BASIC
Basic instrumentation for non-surgical maintenance therapy
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The objective of the course is to develop the students‘ knowledge of basic non- surgical periodontal hand instrumentation, the use of curettes and scalers (scaling and root-planing techniques) and their maintenance (instru- ments sharpening). At the end of the seminar, the students will be able to recognize and choose hand instruments like scalers, uni- versal curettes and area- specific curettes (Graceys) and how to implement them on typodont models.
PART 1 THEORETICAL PART • Basic concepts of dental anatomy and fulcrums • Clinician positioning around the patient • Use of periodontal probes and explorers • Use of scalers for supragingival debridement • Use of curettes for supra and subgingival curettes PART 2 PRACTICE ON TYPODONTS • Clinician positioning around the patient • Intraoral fulcrums and extraoral fulcrums • Implementation of periodontal probes and explorers • Implementation of scalers (anterior and posterior) on the healthy or periodontal maintenance patient • Implementation of universal curettes on the healthy or periodontal maintenance patient • Implementation of area-specific curettes (Graceys) on the healthy or periodontal maintenance patient
