Abstract
In order for American dentistry to treat periodontal disease successfully, it is essential to use the scaling technique that uses subgingiva calculus detection and subgingiva scaling. A high quality dental hygiene school should offer a 4-year curriculum that includes instruction in effective scaling techniques and caluculus detection for periodontal treatment. Classes should be taught by instructors who are competent in all of these procedures.
Upon completion of the dental hygiene curriculum, a student must have the ability to identify the very smallest amount of caluculus at the dental root surface. Also, a thorough knowledge of the dental root furcation and tooth anatomy and groove are essential.
In order to do effective scaling, the scaler and instrument machine should incorporate all the latest improvements that will enable the dental hygienist to do the best possible work. The hygienist must also know the right position for her tasks. Finally, she must be familiar with the many companies that are continually introducing new and improved scaling instruments and machines. The hygienist should be informed about the latest machines and products these companies are offering
I plan to speak about these topics and provide an update on the general state of dentistry in the United State.
