State-of-the-Art Hygiene: A Virtual Reality Trip Through Cutting-Edge Scaling Techniques
Diane Millar, RDH, BS, MA
This course will provide participants with a virtual hands-on scaling experience in order to learn reinforced periodontal instrumentation techniques. Ideal biomechanical ergonomic postures will be demonstrated and then applied through audience participation during the seminar. The importance of incorporating larger muscle groups and ideal fulcrum rests to enhance lateral pressure, improve scaling efficiency and ensure injury prevention will also be emphasized. Learning Objectives: • Demonstrate reinforced periodontal instrumentation techniques and ideal fulcrum rests by utilizing both hands • Learn the importance of utilizing the larger muscle groups in the arms, while scaling to enhance scaling efficacy • Identify newer strategies to prevent harmful postural habits and repetitive-motion injuries
