Sharp instruments are the basic requirement for fast, safe and efficient work and dental care. Dental instruments - especially cutting instruments (periodontal instruments, excavators, bone curettes etc.) have to be sharpened regularly to guarantee optimal sharpness and functionality. Inaccurate sharpening may lead to important degradation, limited function and sometimes even to complete destruction of the instruments.

This course provides the correct technique for sharpening periodontal instruments and offers the opportunity to exercise yourself in sharpening instruments of different forms.

More and more often the use of rubber dam is indicated. Thereby microbiological aspects (antibacterial therapy) play a decisive role. Also during endodontic treatments (aspiration, caustic solutions, aseptic conditions) and restorations using adhesive bonding techniques and in conservative dentistry (absolute dryness) the use of rubber dam is indicated.

If the rubber dam is used in a correct way the rubber dam provides an optimal moisture control, an improved working safety, a protection against infection, improved vision and a quality improvement. But the precise, controlled and time-saving use of the rubber dam has to be learned. That's why we want to acquaint you to the rubber dam technique.
Our course instructors demonstrate the technique on a phantom head, explain the organizational steps beginning from the preparation to the placing - individually adapted according to indication.

The participants learn everything that is worth knowing about the classical rubber dam technique, how it is used in practice, as well as the correct handling of the auxiliaries. Furthermore, the participants have the possibility to place the rubber dam themselves on the phantom head.
Our experiences show that these courses are fully booked quite early therefore we recommend to register in time.
