- Receive step-by-step, real-world guidance in a small group environment
1. Modern Perio, Simplified
- A practical, risk-based approach to non-surgical Perio and maintenance
- Where air polishing, ultrasonics and hand instrumentation fit in
- Matching the right powder, tip, and protocol to the right patient
- Building efficient Perio workflows that are realistic in daily practice
2. Ergonomics & Body-Saving Perio Workflows
- Chair, light and patient positioning that support Perio access and posture
- Reducing grip force and strain, especially in heavy calculus cases
- Small ergonomic changes that make a big difference by the end of the day
3. Powder: Air Polishing with Confidence
- Indications and contraindications for air polishing in Perio and maintenance patients
- When glycine or traditional prophy powders are most appropriate
- Nozzle positioning, angulation and movement to be effective yet gentle
- Hands-on rotations: everyone on the air-polishing units, not just watching
4. Power: Controlled Ultrasonic Instrumentation
- Tip choice, power settings and water flow for patient comfort and efficiency
- Combining ultrasonics and hand instruments without feeling rushed
- Adapting to “problem zones”: lower anteriors, deep pockets, furcations
- Achieving a clean, smooth root surface without overworking
5. Precision: Sharpen-Free Hand Instrumentation
- How sharpen-free technology changes the Perio appointment
- Letting the instrument do the work to reduce pressure and tension
- Why Andrew and Sarah moved to American Eagle stay-sharp instruments and stayed with them

- Intensive, chairside-style mentoring on hand instrumentation technique
- Use your free American Eagle M23 stay-sharp instrument throughout the day and take it back to clinic
“Sharpening used to be one more stress in an already intensive job. Moving to stay-sharp instruments made my Perio days more predictable, efficient and much kinder on my body.” – Sarah
6. Patient Communication That Actually Works
- Simple conversational approaches that fit naturally into a Perio or recall appointment
- Matching advice to what patients will realistically do at home
