HYGIENISTS The Secret to Power, Precision, and Prevention: Advanced Reinforced Periodontal Scaling Techniques Friday, June 16 from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. CE Credits: 3 hours Cost:$150 This course will provide you with a hands-on scaling experience designed to enhance scaling efficacy and proper ergonomics in order to prevent work-related pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and disability. Through video clips and hands-on participation using instruments with wider handles, attendees will learn reinforced scaling techniques in every quadrant and typodont model attached to a portable simulation unit. Reinforced periodontal instrumentation scaling techniques and ideal fulcrum rests will be shown on photos and video clips. Attendees will then demonstrate the techniques on a typodont attached to a portable simulation unit, using ergonomically designed instruments with wider handles. Learning Objectives: • Demonstrate advanced instrumentation techniques, ideal fulcrum rests, and proper ergonomics • The participant will have a thorough understanding of the importance of using the larger muscle groups while scaling to enhance ergonomic efficacy • The participant will be able to learn ideal postural strategies while scaling, which can help prevent career ending injuries
