The Microscope in Everyday Dentistry
Thursday 5 July 2018
Overview
This course is intended for dentists who have limited or no experience with the microscope and for those who have never previously used a microscope. This course will improve your use of the microscope in every day clinical situations by providing “hands on” exercises on extracted teeth and tooth models. A team approach utilizing a chair side assistant will be taken, including training in four-handed dentistry specific to a microscope enhanced general practice.
The enhanced magnification and illumination provided by the dental operating microscope can be applied to almost all clinical situations. These include the diagnosis of caries, cracks and fractures, pit and fissure restorations, all stages of cavity, veneer and crown preparations and endodontic, periodontal and oral surgery procedures.In many dental specialties the microscope is already considered the standard of care, and its use in general practice is growing. By encouraging good posture the microscope benefits the health of the dentist and the chair side assistant. When combined with documentation facilities, the microscope is an excellent tool for patient education, record keeping and legal defence.
Those who use loupes should bring them to the course. Loupes should be considered the first stage of magnification. If you do not have loupes an obligation free trial can be arranged in your surgery before this course begins. Please contact Continuing Education for more information.
All reference material will be supplied. Your presenters include specialist endodontists, general practitioners and a microscope trained chair side assistant, all with extensive microscope experience who look forward to sharing their knowledge with you.
