9. Strokes for calculus removal
{"Image DocumentName": "9. Strokes for calculus removal", "Image ImageDescription": "Tips break up heavy deposits by putting little microfractures in the deposit. Power tip needs to be moved over the surface of a deposit some time in order to allow the microfractures to develop. Slower, repetitive controlled strokes are more effective in removing large tenacious calculus deposits. Keep tip moving at all times for patient comfort. Oblique, overlapping, vertical most effective. Light pressure. Avoid Horizontal = tendency to burnish calculus into tooth and create a smooth veneer than remove it completely. Why we always follow up cavitron w/hand instruments.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
