Instrument Grasp

Today we were able to practise how to grasp our instruments. We talked about the difference and the significance of Adaption, Angulation, and Activation of our instruments. I never realized how precise everything has to be with the tip or toe of an instrument. This is a lesson and concept I will remember forever. It is so important that the tip of the instrument is in the right place and is well adapted to the tooth. I was able to pass off my Patient/Operator PE today which was really fun. My posture is really bad so far but hopefully that will get better with time!
