Biofilm, Calculus, Stain — Goodbye! Leveraging Ultrasonics as a Triple Threat
Dani Botbyl, RDH
Are you maximizing your ultrasonic technology to its fullest potential? Research shows that Canadian dental hygienists are not keeping pace and are underutilizing ultrasonics. This unique workshop combines cutting-edge teaching methods with active magnetostrictive ultrasonic equipment to focus on complete removal of all types of deposit. Participants will use mannequin heads, typodonts and ultrasonic instruments with highlights around sound ergonomics and minimizing aerosols. You will be empowered to enhance your dental hygiene practice after completing this course! Learning Objectives: • Master the removal of calculus, stain and biofilm: identify and compare ultrasonic instrument characteristics (diameter, shape, cross-section, length, tip activity) and demonstrate sequencing needed to improve deposit removal • Recognize common oversights that hinder clinical outcomes: distinguish between effective and ineffective ultrasonic debridement and practice ideal grasp, fulcrum, insertion, lateral pressure, active-tip orientation, channeling, activation • Practice HVE positioning: improve confidence with and usage of HVE devices and practice patient-operator positioning on mannequin heads
