Instructor:  Victor M. Sternberg, D.M.D., P.C.

Register

Synopsis:  A follow-up to the didactic CE course Effective, Non-Surgical Treatment of Periodontal Disease for Dentists and Hygienists presented by Dr. Sternberg on October 30, 2025 for the 9th*.  This course will be a clinical, hands-on course with patients.  The participants will have an opportunity to improve their skills involving instrument sharpening, instrument selection and scaling techniques which will be discussed and demonstrated. 

What will make it particularly valuable is the perioscope, which will be demonstrated to allow direct visualization of the calculus during scaling via an endoscope, markedly improving outcomes.  This will demonstrate the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the individual’s approach to scaling and root planing.  Scaling techniques will be demonstrated, and the participants will have an opportunity to utilize them on a patient in a supervised environment.

The course will be limited to ten clinicians.  If need be, a second course will be available to accommodate more individuals.  The limitation is due to the desire to give every participant the opportunity to participate with hands-on scaling and root planing under supervision.  *A recording of the 10-30-25 course is available and should be viewed before attending this follow-up.
