Electrosurgery instruments use high frequency radio waves to cut, coagulate, or remove tissue with little or no bleeding. This hands-on workshop will teach the clinical and histological significance of frequency and waveform and how to control lateral heat to reduce tissue alteration. The “shave technique,” unique to electrosurgery/radiosurgery, will be discussed. This allows the practitioner to contour or remove tissue without using sutures and with minimal discomfort to the patient. The advantages, disadvantages, precautions and indications for the use of electrosurgery will be discussed. Fifty percent of the time will be hands-on participation, performing dental procedures on beefsteak around model teeth, allowing the participants to develop competence and confidence in this type of instrumentation. Specific clinical techniques will be practiced including clinical crown elongation, troughing before crown & bridge impressions, pulpotomies, gingivectomies and more. Clinicians will see how electrosurgery can become a routine, safe and predictable procedure in their practices. All participants will receive a lab/reference manual and can put to use what they have learned the very next day.
