About
Made possible by Paradise Dental Technologies: Differentiate between core, modified, and advanced instruments commonly used in dental hygiene practice. Design a progression of instrumentation exposure that aligns with student skill development from preclinical to clinical education. Incorporate diverse instrument options (standard, modified, ultrasonic, and specialty) into case-based and hands-on learning experiences. Evaluate strategies for consistent faculty calibration to support student confidence and reduce conflicting instruction. Develop student reflection and critical thinking assignments that connect instrument selection with patient outcomes. This on demand session explores strategies for incorporating a wide range of periodontal instruments into dental hygiene education. By exposing students to both foundational and advanced designs, faculty can build student confidence, adaptability, and clinical decision-making. Participants will gain practical approaches for scaffolding instrumentation from preclinical to clinical learning, ensuring graduates are prepared to meet patient needs and transition successfully into professional practice.
