LECTURE: Part I – Burnished Calculus: How to Avoid It, How to Remove It & 2022 Update on Advanced Instrumentation (On-Demand Webinar only)

Anna M. Pattison, RDH, MS

COURSE DESCRIPTION (On-Demand May 11-25 OR September 1-15, 2022):

Detecting and removing tenacious, burnished calculus is one of the most frustrating and challenging tasks we face. Anna Pattison discusses this problem, the common errors that cause it and the best techniques to remove it. This 2022 update for dentists and dental hygienists includes new hand instruments and ultrasonic tips for moderate to advanced periodontitis and implants. New videos demonstrate alternative fulcrums, new instruments, and advanced techniques. Mini-bladed titanium hand instruments and ultrasonic implant tips will be shown along with Bonus Sessions on subgingival air polishing, subgingival irrigation, periodontal endoscopy.

HANDS-ON: Part II - Advanced Periodontal Instrumentation Hands-On Workshop on Periodontal Typodonts* (Live In-person Course)

Anna M. Pattison, RDH, MS

COURSE DESCRIPTION (Prerequisite Course):

This full-day laboratory course for dentists and dental hygienists is designed to enhance your periodontal instrumentation skills, enabling you to treat patients with greater confidence. This intensive hands-on experience features continuous TV demonstration and videos by Anna Pattison plus a team of experienced instructors attentive to individualized instruction throughout the day. Advance instrumentation techniques are taught on periodontal typodonts using sickles, universal curets, Rigid Gracey curets, After-Fives, Mini-Fives, Micro-Minis, Gracey Curvettes, Pattison Gracey Lite curets, Diamond curets and furcation curets. Extraoral, reinforced, cross-arch and opposite-arch fulcrums are incorporated into innovative approaches for furcations, line angles and deep, narrow pockets. Sharpening with the aid of a videotape, root planing exercises and root morphology review utilizing extracted teeth are also included
