Power Instrumentation for the Dental Professional 2023

The field of dental ultrasonics and air polishing has become mainstream as the technology has evolved. Power Instrumentation for the Dental Professional aims to bridge the gap of knowledge between education and clinical practice by allowing the learner to acquire the skills needed to implement power technology effectively in patient care with a contemporary approach to preventive, maintenance, and nonsurgical periodontal procedures. The first two chapters begin power instrumentation education with the infection prevention required for the safe delivery of care. The middle of the book, Chapters 3–20, focus on dental ultrasonic technology and technique. Chapters 3–8 present ultrasonic science, physics, mechanism of action, functionality, and universal terminology. By Chapter 9, the learner will be able to incorporate a contemporary approach to ultrasonic instrumentation and identify ultrasonic limitations, contraindications, and clinical indications for use.
