Q

checklist for handpiece safety

A

sterile and fit for use

  1. Backcap secure
    • ensure cap does not rotate, never finger tighten
  2. insert bur
    • try pull it out, make sure bur locates in chuck
  3. bur spins freely
    • spin it on finger and see if it spins on own axis
  4. bur doesn’t wobble

Q

principles for using Gracet currette

A
  1. Determine LARGER, OUTER cutting edge before beginning
  2. After visual inspection, confirm the correct cutting edge by adapting it to the tooth with the TERMINAL SHANK PARALLEL to the surface to be scaled.
  3. Only the back (flat, shiny face) of the instrument can be seen from above if the correct edge has been selected
  4. Lower shank is parallel to tooth
  5. Use fulcrum & finger rest
  6. Vertical & diagonal cutting strokes may be made

Q

syringe

A

Before beginning, check patients medical history & check injection site

  1. Tear back sterile seal of cartridge, check sell by date & insert gold end into syringe
  2. Grip & retract plunger handle to cover silicone washer. Roll plunger onto cartridge
  3. Slide protective sheath back towards handle until it CLICKS. Make sure there is no gap and plunger is locked to syringe handle
  4. Remove needle cap & discard it. Needle is ready for use
  5. Passive aspiration & Active aspiration
  6. To change cartridge, slide sheath up to 1st holding position, remove & change
  7. When used lock needle in 2nd holding position of-Do not try unlock when like this
  8. Fully retract & peel plunger - autoclave. Needle in sharps box & cartridge in glass box
