HANDS-ON WORKSHOP

This workshop is a platform for clinical experience learning and sharing. The correct techniques with both ultrasonic and air polishing devices will be demonstrated and trained first on simulation models and then clinically on patients. Dental professionals will learn to maximize efficiency and patient comfort.

Learn how to:

• Correctly apply ultrasonic instrumentation
• Correctly utilise supra-gingival air polishing devices
• Correctly utilise sub-gingival air polishing devices
• Correctly utilise deep pocket sub-gingival air polishing devices
• Learn which, when and where to utilise the different prophylaxis powders
