SUMMARY:Curves Ahead: Successful Implementation of Left and Right Ultrasonic Instruments
DESCRIPTION:Curved left and right ultrasonic instruments have distinct traits that disrupt and remove biofilm\, surpassing the capabilities of other instruments. In this session\, Dani will ignite your enthusiasm and strengthen your clinical knowledge as she guides you on how this unique technology can and should be an integral part of debridement procedures. This webinar aims to provide an interactive experience from the comfort and convenience of your own home. Via a specialized camera\, Dani incorporates live demonstrations and if a typodont and curved inserts are available\, participants are encouraged to follow along. \nObjectives: \n\nExamine the clinical benefits of curved left and right ultrasonic instruments over straight ultrasonic instruments and hand instruments.\nDiscuss how incorporating curved ultrasonic instruments into periodontal debridement procedures can enhance your patient’s comfort.\nExplain how to adapt a variety of surfaces of curved instruments in furcations\, concavities and at the CEJ.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nDani Botbyl is an educator\, author\, and award winning researcher and has been a trailblazer for the advancement of ultrasonic technology in dental hygiene practice and education in North America. She is credited with leading the first team of researchers to investigate the topic of ultrasonic instrumentation education in dental hygiene programs with culmination of her knowledge and research producing multiple publications in industry and peer-reviewed journals and textbooks. Most recently\, Dani co-authored the second edition of Ultrasonic Periodontal Debridement: Theory and Technique (2024) and is a contributing author to the sixth edition of Darby and Walsh Dental Hygiene Theory and Practice (2025). Dani has presented hundreds of evidence-based programs to dental hygiene students\, faculty and practicing clinicians worldwide\, served as the National Clinical Educator with Dentsply Sirona 2000-2023 and held a faculty position at Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology in Welland\, Ontario Canada for over a decade. Dani’s passion for enhancing the practice of dental hygiene create learning experiences that are not to be missed! \nContinuing Education Categories\n\nC1-Head\, neck\, oral and dental anatomy\nC4-General & oral pathology\nD2-Periodontology-including assessment\, diagnosis\nD3-Non-surgical dental hygiene therapy-including instrumentation (hand and powered) and ergonomics\n\nREGISTER HERE \n*Deadline to register is 5 p.m. on the day of the webinar.
