CASE STUDY #2: You are working with a 6 month recall 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: What areas in the photo would be contraindicated (not recommended) for use with the ultrasonic?

CASE STUDY #2: You are getting ready to see a difficult .3 periodontal maintenance patient who is missing several teeth. They have generalized recession, moderate calculus, 4-5mm probe depths and no tight contact areas.  You work carefully during instrumentation to make sure that you are using accurate scaling strokes to avoid incomplete removal of the calculus. Use this information to answer the following questions. QUESTION: Discuss an option they could consider consider if they want to replace the missing teeth

CASE STUDY #1: You have completed your assessments on your patient and are getting ready to scale.  You don’t see a test stick in your cassette, so you are going to use the Visual Test using light to determine if your instruments are sharp or dull.  Once you have determined this, you sharpen several of your instruments using the technique that we practiced in class.  Once your instruments are sharpened, you decide to use the sickle scalers as your first hand instruments on your patient since they are periodontally healthy and do not have periodontal pockets to scale.  Use this information to answer the following questions.  QUESTION: How should the lower/terminal shank be positioned when you are completing your scaling strokes?
