One does not go to a gunfight with a butter knife! You may do it once, but it will leave you bloody and scarred. Knowing which bur to use for specific indications and whether to use a luxator or elevator can make the difference between a successful surgery or one that is filled with complications.  

In this presentation Dr. Greenfield details a variety of dental instruments and equipment that will help make a procedure go awfully simple instead of simply awful. His discussion includes:

  • A review of burs (cutting, diamond, etc.)
  • Video examples of each type of bur in use for specific indications
  • Luxators versus elevators and how they are used
  • Why sharp equipment is essential for oral surgical use
  • Proper ergonomics to keep your own body sound

Running time:  50 mins
Approved for 1 hour of CE credit by AAVSB RACE and NY State
