Tuesday, May 28, 2024
6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. CST

Although polishing is a task that has been performed everyday in the dental hygiene chair for decades, there have been changes in equipment and paste options that clinicians should know about. This course will review the basic technique of polishing while introducing ingredients that have evolved to address concerns beyond stain removal, while protecting restorative materials.  Handpiece maintenance including CDC requirements will also be reviewed.

Objectives:

  • Define coronal polishing within the prophylaxis appointment including indications and contraindications
  • Identify abrasives and beneficial ingredients within polishing paste options
  • Examine best practices to minimize spatter and aerosols
  • Review handpiece maintenance within the CDC guidelines
