Advanced Instrumentation Workshop: Hands-On Periodontal Debridement Techniques
Sponsored by HuFriedyGroup
Join us for the final session of the Advanced Non-Surgical Periodontal Study Club as we bring together evidence-based periodontal therapy and hands-on clinical skill development. In partnership with HuFriedyGroup, this interactive workshop will focus on optimizing instrumentation techniques to improve clinical outcomes, efficiency, ergonomics, and patient comfort.
Participants will have the opportunity to refine their skills using hand instruments, piezoelectric ultrasonics, and air polishing technologies while learning practical protocols that can be immediately implemented in practice. Through guided instruction, live demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, attendees will gain confidence in selecting the appropriate instrumentation modality for various periodontal and peri-implant conditions.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
-
-
Differentiate the indications, advantages, and limitations of hand instrumentation, piezoelectric ultrasonics, and air polishing in periodontal and peri-implant therapy.
-
Demonstrate proper adaptation, angulation, activation, and stroke techniques for effective hand instrumentation during periodontal debridement.
-
Utilize piezoelectric ultrasonic instrumentation safely and efficiently to remove biofilm, calculus, and endotoxin while minimizing tissue trauma.
-
Apply current evidence-based protocols for supragingival and subgingival air polishing in periodontal maintenance and biofilm management.
-
Select appropriate instrumentation strategies based on patient diagnosis, pocket morphology, implant status, and treatment goals.
-
6. Evaluate instrument design features and choose the most effective instruments for specific clinical scenarios.
7. Incorporate ergonomic principles that reduce clinician fatigue and support long-term musculoskeletal health.
8. Develop comprehensive instrumentation protocols that improve treatment efficiency, patient comfort, and clinical outcomes.
9. Integrate contemporary biofilm management concepts into non-surgical periodontal and peri-implant therapy.
