Course description

One of the main skills of the dental hygienist is to perform a good mechanical scaling and root planing treatment. In most courses, participants learn these techniques working on a phantom head.

Taking the course at the Faculty of Dentistry at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya allows students to use the University Dentistry Clinic facilities and practice with real patients.

Assessment method: An online self-assessment test will be carried out at the end of the course so that students can assess the  achievement  of their personal goals and their knowledge of the content of the course.

Course objectives

  1. To learn all the causal, diagnostic, prognostic concepts and treatment plan in the periodontal phase I.
  2. To learn how to implement scaling and root planing with different curettes and instruments. 

Competences to be acquired by students

  1. To give the hygienist a complete picture regarding handling the periodontal patient and acquiring practical abilities for daily clinical work.
  2. To learn non-surgical treatment, clinical protocols and the equipment used.
