MINST – Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Therapy
Nå har du som Tannpleier muligheten til å bli med på en spennende kursdag med faglig påfyll og praktisk hands on. MINST-konseptet vil bli tydelig presentert – en ny tilnærming til periodontal behandling. Fokus på vevsbevaring, pasientkomfort og langsiktige resultater.
Hvordan utnytte din ultralydscaler på beste måte
Kurset vil vise hvordan gjennomtenkt valg av scaler-tipper og presise teknikker kan forbedre både klinisk effektivitet og pasientresultater.
Gjennom demonstrasjoner og praktiske øvelser lærer du:
◆ filosofien bak MINST og dens plass i moderne periodontal behandling
◆ optimal bruk av ultralydscalere: valg av tipper, effektinnstillinger og teknikk
◆ hvordan utnytte nye hjelpemidler for en mer forutsigbar behandling (praktisk gjennomgang av Labida BioClean)
Kurset gir deg konkrete verktøy og klinisk erfaring for å arbeide smartere – med bedre kontroll, og økt pasientkomfort!
Trondheim: onsdag, 25. februar / Oslo: fredag, 27. februar
