When sharpening your instruments, which of the following statements describes the proper technique?

CASE STUDY #1: You have completed your assessments on your patient and are getting ready to scale.  You don’t see a test stick in your cassette, so you are going to use the Visual Test using light to determine if your instruments are sharp or dull.  Once you have determined this, you sharpen several of your instruments using the technique that we practiced in class.  Once your instruments are sharpened, you decide to use the sickle scalers as your first hand instruments on your patient since they are periodontally healthy and do not have periodontal pockets to scale.  Use this information to answer the following questions.  QUESTION: Which surfaces will you avoid scaling with the anterior sickle scalers?

 How do you position the instrument to begin sharpening?

Case Study #3: Your first patient in clinic is a healthy 24 year old with probe depths 1-3mm and tight, resilient tissue. They report that they do not floss and have not had a dental visit in 6 years. They have generalized calculus interproximal and you are using the sickle scalers to access the calculus.  You notice that you don’t have a sharpening card in your cassette, so you begin scaling without sharpening. While you are scaling, you place the instrument at the proper location on each tooth and use light, sweeping, supragingival strokes using your fingers. When your clinic instructor checks your scaling progress, they indicate that you have missed several areas of calculus in the middle of the proximals and have burnished other areas of calculus. In summary, you have not made much progress with your scaling. Use this information to answer the following questions. QUESTION: What portion of the working end should be adapted to most effectively removes calculus?
