But, with a little blue sky thinking and the enthu- siasm of on Dr Matthew Per- kins, I find myself in just that position. Modern concepts On Saturday the 3rd March 2012, Mathew Perkins and I are privileged enough to be presenting ‘Modern Concepts of Periodontal Instrumenta- tion’ at the Dentistry Show 2012 at the NEC. This is set to be a unique experience, the first of its kind in the UK and it aims to simultaneous- ly broadcast a lecture at the same time as a patient is be- ing treated in the live theatre space at the event. This will enable you to be in the lecture theatre and see the treatment live on screen as Mathew dis- cusses the concepts or for you to take a seat at the live theatre and watch the lecture on the screens while the pa- tient is being treated. The patient will be treated in real time and therefore I will be working with them for around an hour. Back to basics Periodontal instrumenta- tion should be back to ba- sics stuff, but the number of dentists and DCPs that ask for assistance in this mat- ter is huge. When I get feed- back from course, there are always a number of requests for hands on instrumentation. And if it is not an everyday used skill, as it is for many dentists, then we could all do with a refresher. The aim of the presenta- tion is to revise the aetiol- ogy of periodontitis, and the rationale for non-surgical treatment of the disease. In practice, good non-surgical periodontal treatment can treat the majority of patients. The concept that we no longer need to scrape the root until glassy smooth is something that has passed many by, and the presentation will show us why it is no longer necessary and what we should be aiming to achieve when we debride our patients with periodonti- tis. Mathew’s engaging real- istic lecture style makes this subject accessible, absorbable and achievable. Know your Langer Many in the profession will have trained with the use of universal curettes and the concept of site-specific cu- rettes is intimidating.
