1. List characteristics of Universal curets

2. Is this an anterior instrument, posterior or both?

3. Is this used sub-gingival or supra-gingival or both? What is the difference between sub and supragingival scaling?

4. How many cutting edges?

5. What is the face to lower shank angle? Why is this important.

6. Why is it important to know the cross section of an instrument?

7. List the differences between the Col 4R/4L, Barnhart 5/6, MC 17/18. Compare Shank and blades.

8. When and where do you use each instrument?

9. List the differences between Scalers and Universal Curets

10. How do we determine the correct working end?

11. Note differences between a calculus removal stroke and a biofilm removal stroke.

12. List the steps for calculus removal with hand activated instruments.

13. Where do we begin instrumenting?

14. When using a calculus removal stroke, what angle should the face be at in relation to the tooth in order to activate the cutting edge?

15. When instrumenting the lingual surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular right quadrants, why is it important not to tilt the handle toward the operator? How do we correct this handle position?

16. What does Universal curet = anterior across mean?

17. Identify the outer and inner cutting edges of your universal curets. Why are the outer cutting edges only used on the anterior teeth?

18. Adapt an insertion angle on your typodont and then open the blade to 60-80. Activate the cutting edge. If you are having difficulty with this concept, consult with a faculty member.

19. What is burnished calculus? How does this occur?

20. Why is it important to think about the instrument design used in a particular pocket or area of the mouth?

21. What is channel instrumentation?

22. Identify the design differences between the FSI10 and FSI100

23. Identify which types of calculus deposit each of the inserts are to be used on.

24. Identify which types of tissue each insert is to be adapted.

25. Identify the power levels that each insert is to be set.

26. What is different when sharpening a universal curet compared to sickle scalers?

27. Why do we sharpen in sections rather than just the shiny parts of the blade?

28. Why is it important to know the cross section of an instrument when sharpening?
