One does not go to a gunfight with a butter knife! You may do it once, but it will leave you bloody and scarred. Knowing which bur to use for specific indications and whether to use a luxator or elevator can make the difference between a successful surgery or one that is filled with complications.
In this presentation Dr. Greenfield details a variety of dental instruments and equipment that will help make a procedure go awfully simple instead of simply awful. His discussion includes:
- A review of burs (cutting, diamond, etc.)
- Video examples of each type of bur in use for specific indications
- Luxators versus elevators and how they are used
- Why sharp equipment is essential for oral surgical use
- Proper ergonomics to keep your own body sound
