Efficacious mechanical debridement is an essential component of care for patients with periodontitis. Generally, the more advanced the periodontitis, the more complex the instrument selection and periodontal instrumentation. One of the first considerations for hand-activated instrumentation for first molar teeth is the suspected anatomy of the root.

The complex root anatomy of these teeth poses a distinct challenge during hand instrumentation.
Applying advanced principles of periodontal instrumentation to enhance mechanical debridement is key to meeting the goals of nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
Choosing the most appropriate ultrasonic inserts/tips for the task at hand is integral to effective ultrasonic instrumentation of this area of the dentition.
This is key to effective nonsurgical periodontal therapy and periodontal maintenance.
