I'm not sure what has kept me away for so long but I'm ready to mingle again! A couple years ago (yeah I'm a little slow) I thought it would be great to have a blog specifically dedicated to dental hygiene. I've come across so many questions and ideas that I've wanted to share especially with those from WSU....so here it goes! With each post I want all of you to hit me with all your experiences, opinions and ideas and don't leave ANYTHING out!!! :]
First up...Implant Instrumentation:
Has anyone used the ultrasonic tip that is safe for titanium implants? If so, is it effective and/or worth the investment to buy it? One of the offices I work for just ordered three new titanium instruments that PDT was offering at UDA, we just received them so I haven't had the chance to try them out yet, but I'm thinking that anything is better than the large plastic tipped instrument that basically does NOTHING most of the time.
Also, I've had several patients present with 6mm pockets around their implants, is that normal as long as the tissue is pink and firm and there is no exudate?
