Reinforced Periodontal Instrumentation and Ergonomics for the Dental Care Provider
I would definately recommend this book.I actually like using both of my hands when scaling. I feel my body is more balanced and that I have more control than when I use just one hand. I am working to perfect my new skills as I hope to be scaling for many years to come. Thanks to the author for making this system easy to understand.

fantastic resource
I really like this technique, it's comfortable for me, and safe for the patient. I feel like I go faster and don't tire out as easy, thanks so much for the enlightenment, I will continue to use this technique forever more, thanks to you!

Stellar NEW material for the dental professional
There is nothing in the marketplace like this book.I have attended several lectures on this topic but never had any take home material to use on Monday morning in my practice until now.The photos are sharp and in color making it easy to identify the location of the instrument tip and hand positions.Ms Millar has thought of everything by also advising the clinician of the seating position and posture which will reduce muskuloskeletal problems.The layout of the book by sextants makes it easy to find the area that you are interested in and the pages can be wiped down after touching them with gloved hands.I find the exercises very useful in the middle of my day to prevent the aches which often accompany a day full of patients. Over the years, I have taught advanced instrumentation to hygienists and periodontal graduate students and the information in Ms. Millar's book adds one more layer to the skill level of the clinician.

Reinforced Periodontal Instrumentation and Ergonomics for the Dental Care Provider
I am pleased with all my heart to give 100% to the Reinforced Periodontal Instrumentation and Ergonomics for the Dental Care Provider written by my DEAR Professor and Friend Diane Millar. Her an amazing technique literaly saved my live, my carreer and my wellbeing. While I was going through my DH school I had started an enormous pain in my wrists. I chared my worries and pain with Diane. Immediately, she introduced me to her imazing technique. It is the BEST thing have ever happen. I have been using Diane's Periodontal instrumentation technique for the past 4 years. I have never "pocked" my finger. I have an absolutely amazing control of my scaling and comfort for my patients. I love it! I propogate it as much as I can and I will give 100% to the BEST technique in Dental Hygiene. My wrists are doing absolutely fine. I literaly avoided a carpol tunnel surgery. This technique is UNIQUE, SAFE and PREVENTIVE for the long term Dental Hygienists. I recommend to use it. Just get the book, do all the steps and you will fall in love with it. I CAN'T live without it, so do my patients. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU! Sincerely, Natalia DeRojas, BS, RDHAP.
