Adaption, angulation and activation clinic

September 17, 2008 clinic - Today in clinic we learned about instrument grasp and how to explore using adaption, angulation, and activation. This was a fun day in clinic to be able to work on our pod partners and the typodont's. The instrument grasp and how to use our fingers as fulcrums might be challenging and hard to get use to. My goal is to practice and become more at ease using the instruments this way. I feel that it is challenging because I have been an assistant for a long time and assistants hold their instruments different than hygienists.
