CASE STUDY #1: Yоur pаtient presents fоr а periоdontаl maintenance appointment after 10 months. She is usually on a 4 month recall, but has been dealing with health issues. She reports hypertension and diabetes, both of which she controls with medications, and her vitals today are BP 130/86, pulse 88, respirations 14 and HbA1C is 9.7. In doing your periodontal assessments and radiographs, you determine that she has 4mm probe depths in the anterior teeth, several 5-6mm probe depths in the posterior teeth with isolated furcation involvement and generalized moderate to heavy calculus. She has several amalgam restorations and crowns and you notice several areas of demineralization and recurrent decay, but she is not having any pain or sensitivity. Use this information to answer the following questions. QUESTION: What ultrasonic inserts would be recommended for use on this patient?

CASE STUDY #2: Yоu аre wоrking with а 6 mоnth recаll patient that has a light amount of calculus, but several areas of recession/root surface that prevent you from using your sickles everywhere. Your instructor advises you to check out a Piezoelectric ultrasonic to get experience with it before graduation and after using the Piezo, you use the Universal Curets to fine scale the root surfaces. You know that the Piezoelectric ultrasonics are similar to the magnetostrictive ultrasonics in their effectiveness, but you remember that they are adapted differently that the magnetostrictive inserts. Use this information to answer the following questions. QUESTION: How are the vibrations created in a Piezoelectric unit?
