Description

**Must preregister to attend | Limited to the first 100 registrants

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the benefits and indications of modern air polishing, including supragingival and subgingival applications
  • Demonstrate ergonomic instrumentation techniques that reduce strain and support clinical wellness
  • Identify appropriate inserts and tips for efficient power scaling
  • Integrate air polishing, power and hand instrumentation to streamline hygiene appointments and optimize patient outcomes
  • Apply a protocol-driven approach that supports both preventive and periodontal care in a time efficient, wellness-minded workflow.
  • Engage in hands-on practice to reinforce techniques and boost clinical confidence.

Ready to stop the strain and start working smarter? Today's dental hygiene is evolving-and so should your approach.  In this dynamic hands-on workshop, discover how modern air polishing systems,  power scaling, and ergonomic instrumentation can create healthier outcomes for your patients and your body.

This isn't your typical lecture- expect movement, energy and engagement as you rotate through four interactive stations focused on real-world applications of subgingival air polishing. efficient ultrasonic technique, precision hand instrumentation and ergonomic support throughout.  You'll leave refreshed, recharged and equipped with strategy to make every appointment count- without burning out.

 Whether your looking to reduce fatigue, improve access and efficiency or bring next-gen care into your op, this course delivers the tools, techniques and inspiration to transform your routine from the inside out.
