osteocom and globally-renowned dental hygienist Dr. Anna M. Pattison welcome you to this Advanced Course on Periodontal Instrumentation delivering a comprehensive update on the latest devices, instruments, techniques, and evidence-based strategies that have revolutionized clinical practice.
Through 9 theoretical and hands-on videos, you’ll learn how to enhance the treatment of patients with moderate to advanced periodontitis using cutting-edge hand instrumentation and ultrasonic technology—including Universal and Rigid Gracey curets, Mini-Fives™, Micro-Minis, Pattison Gracey Lite curets, Nevi sickles, diamond-coated files, furcation curets, and titanium instruments for implants.
Hands-on demonstrations on periodontal typodonts highlight key instrumentation techniques, with a special focus on difficult areas such as deep narrow pockets and furcations. Ergonomic and effective fulcrum strategies – such as extraoral, reinforced, cross-arch, and opposite-arch positions – are also presented to enhance clinical precision and operator comfort.
Additional modules cover sharpening techniques using visual guides and a review of root morphology with extracted teeth. Finally, the comparison of hand scaling, ultrasonic instrumentation, and subgingival air polishing techniques is included to guide optimal instrument selection and ensure thorough maintenance of both natural teeth and implants.
