The art of using a scaler to save the compromised dentition is becoming a procedure of the past. If you graduated one year ago, five, ten, or even 20 years ago, the chances are high that you were taught, in order to save the compromised dentition, a scaler must be placed to the tooth surface. But, what about biofilm, the cause of so many oral diseases? Will a scaler help manage that effectively? Dated protocols in your hygiene department, worn-out instruments that are ineffective, the limited knowledge of home care products can make it harder to have successful cases in your practice. If biofilm management is the name of the game, is it time to reassess our prevention strategies and treatment protocols? During this presentation, we will discuss new methodologies for biofilm management and secondary disease prevention, why tailored home care protocols are best, and how technology like the AirFlow Prophylaxis Master can help save the compromised dentition.
