@@gloriagalvis1419 The Gracy 13/14 Universal Curet and may you show how the technique for hte linguals? In the anterior video it is shown but not in the posterior. I struggle so much with the posterior lingual both max and man. In our cassettes at school we have the Gracy 11/12, 13/14 and 1/2. YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME and have helped me pass the more difficult competencies while in school. Oh how I wish you were still creating videos or had more. please create more please please with a cherry on top.
There are times when a patient may prefer to avoid local anesthesia for a variety of reasons, however unless treatment is local to one or two sites of pocketing that does not extend beyond 5mm, I would not recommend treating without proper pain management. Local anesthesia is an important part of pain control during a thorough and effective scaling and root planing procedure. In my experience, if the patient is not comfortable they will not tolerate treatment. Furthermore, as a clinician, I am unable to perform comfortably and to the best of my ability if I know my patient is in pain. Another fact to consider is that when utilizing an anesthetic with epinephrine (vasoconstrictor) there can be added benefits such as a decrease in bleeding at the site. That being said, there are other topical options for pain control, but in my experience there is nothing more effective than injected local anesthesia.
The lingual aspect is not depicted in this video. However, due to similar shank design you may review the approach from the lingual aspect in the 11/12 Explorer video. Thank you for your question! ua-cam.com/video/u4UZN1A4giI/v-deo.html
