Yоu аre prepаring tо cоmplete scаling and root planing on the patient's right side. There are pockets on nearly every tooth, 4-5mm in the anterior and 4-7mm in the posteriors and nearly every tooth has 2-3mm of recession There is generalized moderate to heavy calculus both supra and subgingival, included radiographic, but the gingival tissue is generally tight and resilient. You need to determine what instruments you are using, what power setting and inserts will be necessary with your ultrasonic and how to determine if your hand instruments are well suited for treating a difficult periodontally involved patient. QUESTION: Why would a modified (such as the "after-five" or "mini-after five") area specific (Gracey) curet be a good option for scaling a 7mm pocket on #15 DL?
