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

of design-test-revise allowed to make evidence on key factors like reduction of pinch force of the fingers around the handle and pressure on the tooth. Harmony™ are the first scalers with a science-based design. LOOK AND TRY The Harmony™ Handle is perfect for a modified pen grasp: the tapered shape invites and improves the coupling of the finger pads during high force pulling motion required for scaling. Moreover the difference of diameter along the handle allows the grasp to change position while adapting the working end to the different areas of the mouth: another hint to distress the pinching too forcefully the instrument and avoid cramps and rigidity. Adaptation to all hand sizes is also facilitated by the recessed double-helix knurling pattern surface texture assuring a safe

environment: a weak fulcrum, an inaccurate grasp (i.e. uncontrolled hyperextended finger joints), poor lighting, the incorrect clinician posture on the stool, a poor variation in clinical procedures and an unbalanced work-life balance can be of serious impact for the overall health of the clinician. ERGONOMICS IS SCIENCE The design of an ergonomic instrument cannot be intuitive or based on assumptions: it has to be the result of test data and empirical. TrueFit™ Technology is an advanced sensor- based technology that, for the first time in the dental field, gives voice to a scientific approach to ergonomics. This sensor- based system is capable of measuring touch sensitivity and pressure on the tooth. Similar to software engineering, this iterative development process allowed the research department of HuFriedyGroup to collect 2 878 320 data points from hygienists around the world, with no bias to the brand nor product preference, who participated in testing several different handle design. The data were finally revised and elaborated by an unbiased analytics firm outside the dental industry. This step-by-step approach
protect the hand health of the clinicians as well as add evident comfort to the patient.
MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (MSDs) MSDs are not rare nor uncommon among dental clinicians and hygienists are at greater risk for chronic pain due to the repetitive nature of their job. MSDs are defined as injury of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, nerves, blood vessels and/or muscles of the hand, arms, neck, back, legs or any combination. Very debilitating! Attention to its diagnosis and treatment need to be just as immediate as signs or symptoms appear. One may experience aches, stiffness, burning sensation in the muscles, fatigue, twitches, up to chronic headaches and sleep disturbances. Same for joint noises, tingling, inflammation, weakness and a decreased range of motion. Pain comes suddenly and relentlessly affecting professional performance causing the inability to maintain an enjoyable workplace environment and a high-quality lifestyle. ERGONOMICS IS PREVENTION We can’t assume we will continue to remain healthy if we don’t consider ergonomics. Especially for those hygienists who scale by hand, practicing good ergonomics, avoiding pain and wrist protection, prevents long-term issues associated with MSDs. Inevitable forcefully pinching between thumb and index, repetitive strain and cumulative trauma can also be worsened by anti-ergonomic choices of the instruments: too heavy instruments (>25 gr), too smooth or thin (<0.6mm) handles, inadequate shape of the handle (that doesn’t enable an easy

and easy rolling of the instrument between the fingers. The final results are very encouraging: there is a good combination of decrease pinch force against the handle (65% compared to other ergonomic scaler design), minor pressure needed against the tooth (37% less compared to other leading scaler handle design) that results in significant and precious patient comfort without sacrificing effectiveness. The combination of these obtained features with the EverEdge™ 2.0 Technology of outstanding sharpness of the cutting edge (72% sharper than the next leading competitor) gives evidence to the efficiency, comfort and ergonomic qualities in one instrument.

The Impact of IMS™ Cassettes
When Considering Instrument Management
With IMS™ Cassettes, finally everything is at hand. We no longer waste time looking for an instrument in the drawers or even the consumables.
Types of Facilities
A. Private Practices Dentists who own private practices are business owners. They need to drive revenue while improving cost savings, efficiency, and staff retention. B. Specialty Practices Specialty practices, such as oral surgery or orthodontic offices, see a high number of patients each day, so safety and efficiency are critical so they can focus on each patient.
C. Community Health Centers and Public Health Facilities These facilities are funded by the government so cost savings is important. Compliance is also top of mind as they face scrutiny for meeting the established standards. D. Multi-Location Group Practices Run like corporations, these operations look for standardization and cost savings across locations. They also typically have an individual in charge of ensuring compliance.

Instrument Processing Guidelines • Work practice controls should be used to minimise handling of loose, contaminated instruments during transportation to the central processing area.
IMS-1346
• Dental team members should be trained to use work practices that prevent contamination of clean areas. For example: Sterilised and clean supplies should be stored away from a contaminated area.

1. Receiving, Cleaning & Decontamination
IMS-1238
IMS-1239
• Cleaning and disinfection should precede the sterilisation process. It should involve removal of debris as well as organic and inorganic contamination. • If visible debris is not removed, it will interfere with microbial inactivation and can compromise the disinfection or sterilisation process. • Puncture/chemical-resistant utility gloves (such as HuFriedyGroup Lilac™ Utility Gloves ) should be worn when handling contaminated instruments and when performing instrument cleaning and decontamination procedures. > Use automated cleaning equipment (e.g., ultrasonic cleaner or washer-disinfector) to increase productivity and decrease worker exposure to blood and body fluids. • Appropriate PPE (mask, protective eyewear and protective clothing) should be worn when splashing or spraying is anticipated during cleaning. • Visibly clean instruments might not be enough to ensure quality of your cleaning protocol. In order to know if your instruments have passed the first step, HuFriedyGroup recommends to use Cleaning Monitors , designed to monitor the efficacy of the cleaning process when using washer- disinfectors and ultrasonic cleaners.

2. Preparation & Packaging
All instruments must be completely dry before packaging. • After cleaning, critical & semi-critical instruments should be inspected for remaining debris. Hinged instruments, such as pliers, bone rongeur forceps, scissors and needle holders should always be lubricated. HuFriedyGroup offers the following for all of your lubrication and maintenance needs: > Shine reNEW Instrument Wipes: Remove stain, rust, corrosion and restore the luster to stainless steel and tungsten carbide instruments, as well as stainless steel cassettes. Shine reNEW eliminates the need for abrasive scrubs and is quick and simple to use. > ILS (Instrument Lubricant Spray) : Used to help keep hinged instruments moving freely. Applied before sterilisation and does not dry out during sterilisation. • Before sterilisation, instruments and other patient-care items should be assembled into sets (cassettes) or trays, and wrapped, packaged, or placed into a container system for sterilisation. Packages should be labeled with the date.

3. Sterilisation
• Mechanical and chemical monitors should be used according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the effectiveness of the sterilisation process. > Each load should be monitored with mechanical and chemical indicators. • A chemical indicator should be placed on the inside of each instrument package to be sterilised. > If the internal indicator is not visible from the outside , another chemical indicator should be added to the outside of package. • Place packages correctly and loosely into the steriliser so the sterilant can properly reach all contents. • A Bowie-Dick Test Pack is designed to detect the presence of residual air in pre-vacuum steam sterilizers operating at 134°C for 3.5 minutes. Daily, place the test pack on the bottom shelf, over the drain closest to the door, in an otherwise empty chamber. • Biological monitoring, also known as spore testing, determine whether microorganisms are destroyed from the steam sterilization process. It should be performed weekly.

Proper monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the durability and health of a dental implant. Following the completion of the surgical and prosthetic procedures in implant therapy, it is imperative to inform the patient about how to carry out selfperformed infection control procedures. The long-term success of implants is fundamentally dependent upon both the patient’s maintenance of effective home care and on the dental team’s administration of professional prophylaxis procedures in the dental office [10] . Professional infection control procedures are necessary to achieve long-term success of our implant treatments [6] and include the removal of hard and soft bacterial deposits on implant and suprastructure components with scalers. Great care and caution should be practiced when cleaning the dental implant and the instruments to be used should ideally be capable of removing efficiently the bacterial deposits without altering the implant surface, the implant components and the surrounding tissues [7], [12] .

In this context, it is imperative to highlight that deep instrumentation, such as “subgingival debridement” that normally is performed around teeth, is not recommended in non-surgical treatment of peri-implant disease. The reason for this difference in strategy is related to the geometry of the implant device with its threaded part and other obstacles to access. The risk of causing injury to the inflamed tissues when performing “blind” instrumentation must be emphasized.

DEBRIDEMENT OF IMPLANT SURFACE Hand curettes of different materials have been proposed as instruments for removing bacterial deposits of the supra- and subgingival peri-implant areas. Among these instruments, plastic, carbon fiber, stainless-steel and titanium curettes are included. Some studies has been performed to evaluate these different materials regarding to their cleaning efficacy and potential of alteration of the implant surface and prosthetic component, which could affect its biocompatibility, biofilm formation and therefore the implant longevity [3], [4], [8] . EFFECTS OF HAND INSTRUMENTS ON THE IMPLANT SURFACE SEM investigation of instrumented titanium implant surface shows significant- ly less scratching caused by titanium curettes compared to other commonly used metal curettes and sonic insert [9] .

INSTRUMENT POSITION: Hold the instrument vertically in your nondominant hand. The blade to be sharpened will be at the bottom with the tip pointed toward you. Brace the top shank with your thumb and place your elbow directly in front of you on the table. Position the terminal shank of the blade being sharpened at 12 o’clock. STONE POSITION: Place the lubricated side of the stone against the left lateral surface of the blade. In an upright vertical position, initially direct the top of the stone upward toward 12 o’clock and then tilt the top of the stone away from the instrument to 3 minutes before 12 o’clock. STONE MOVEMENT: Initiate grinding in a fluid up-and-down motion. Start at the heel third of the blade and continue to the middle third and finally to the tip third. You should see a buildup of sludge along the facial surface of the blade and stone. If you are using a ceramic stone you will see a buildup of metal filings instead of sludge. Using gauze, wipe the sludge or metal filings from the surface of the blade and the stone. SHARPENING THE OPPOSITE CUTTING EDGE: Rotate the instrument so that the tip is pointed away from you. Maintain the secure palm grasp and again brace the top shank with your thumb. Position the terminal shank of the bottom blade upright at 12 o’clock. Tilt the top of the stone slightly away from the handle to 3 minutes before 12 o’clock. Repeat the grinding process maintaining the clock position. Using gauze, wipe the sludge or metal filings from the surfaces of the blade and stone. thumb to counter-balance the pressure of grinding the blade at the bottom. 4. Point tip or toe of blade toward you to sharpen right cutting edge. Point tip or toe away from you to sharpen opposite cutting edge. 5. Keep terminal shank at 12:00. 1. Position instrument vertically with blade to be sharpened at the bottom. 2. Check the blade identification number: > Aim the toe of all ODD-numbered Graceys toward you. > Direct the toe of all EVEN-numbered Graceys away from you. 3.
