Maximize the Working Stroke
By Kathleen O. Hodges, RDH, MS
Ultrasonic instrumentation converts electrical energy to mechanical energy in the form of rapid vibrations at the instrument tip. While this vibration removes plaque biofilm and calculus, meticulous technique is necessary to effectively treat all affected root surfaces and to adequately remove problematic bacterial byproducts. The working stroke created by the clinician vs the instrument accomplishes this root coverage.
