Scaling

Today we went over instrument identification. I learned a good way to remember that a 13/14 is for distal and 15/16 is for mesial. We learned what makes them area specific or universal. We had lots of time to practice using the different instruments and the diffent angles. We learned the oblique stroke the horizontal and the vertical. I passed off a PE. In one month I will have a real patient in my chair. I am excited to try scaling on enamel because the typodont just isn't cutting it. (Pun intended) Practice, practice, practice! Patience.
