Instruments and Method of Treatment for Pediatric Dental Hygiene Patients

摘要

The pediatric dental treatment technique with accompanying tools brings infant, toddler, and young child dental hygiene into a mainstream services menu. Carefully chosen and styled tools allow for maximum safety and thus enhance efficiency of the child, clinician, parent or other assistant. The treatment technique is refined to eliminate any extraneous movements or tools. Because the hazards posed by other instruments are removed with the use of these specialized instruments, the operator is able to focus on the patient and the treatment areas. Therefore, the treatment goes more quickly which is important for a small child or infant. The preferred tools comprise a single-ended handle with a miniature tip having a dual cutting surface and a single-ended, miniature, anterior sickle scaler. The entire cleaning is completed quickly to reduce accident risks.
