Instrumentation Strokes
Section 1The Instrumentation Stroke
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Characteristics of Instrumentation Strokes
The instrumentation stroke is the act of moving the working-end against the tooth surface.Instrumentation strokes can be:
– Calculus removal strokes– Exploratory strokes to detect calculus

Movement of the Working-End
As the working-end moves across the tooth surface, consider the location of the junctional epithelium.
Junctional epithelium is the soft epithelial tissue forming the base of a gingival sulcus.
Sharp cutting edges or tips of instruments could injure the junctional epithelium.

Instrumentation Strokes
Instrumentation strokes are made in a coronal direction, away from the soft tissue base of the sulcus or pocket.Stroke direction varies depending on the tooth surface being instrumented.

Stroke Directions

Vertical Strokes
-On anterior teeth, vertical strokes are used on the facial, lingual, and proximal surfaces.-On posterior teeth, vertical strokes are used on mesial and distal surfaces.
8
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Oblique Strokes
-Used on the facial and lingual surfaces of posterior teeth
9
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Horizontal Strokes
Used:-At line angles of posterior teeth-In furcation areas-In deep, narrow pockets
10

Horizontal Strokes (cont.)
-Used on the narrow root surfaces of anterior teeth

Recap
During instrumentation sharp cutting edges or tips should not come in contact with the junctional epithelium.Instrumentation strokes can be made in different directions: vertical, oblique, horizontal, or multidirectional, which are a combination of all three directions.

Three Types of Instrumentation Strokes
Assessment strokeCalculus removal strokeRoot debridement stroke
15
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
1. Assessment Stroke
16
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Assessment Stroke
-Used to evaluate the tooth surface-Used with explorers to locate calculus deposits-Also known as exploratory stroke-Used to reevaluate tooth surface after calculus removal
17
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Characteristics of Assessment Stroke
-Fingers relaxed in modified pen grasp-Flowing, feather-light stroke of moderate length-Contacts the tooth, but no pressure is applied against the tooth surface for this stroke
18

2. Calculus Removal Stroke
19
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Calculus Removal Stroke
-Used to remove calculus deposits off of the tooth surface-Used with curets and sickle scalers
20
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Characteristics of Calculus Removal Stroke
-Short, controlled, biting stroke used to remove a calculus deposit from tooth-Firm lateral pressure of cutting edge applied against the tooth during this brief stroke-At start of stroke, press fulcrum finger down against the tooth
21

3. Root Debridement Stroke
22
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Root Debridement Stroke
-Used to remove residual calculus deposits, bacterial plaque, and byproducts from (1) root surfaces that are exposed in the mouth because of gingival recession and (2) root surfaces within deep periodontal pockets
23
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Characteristics of Root Debridement Stroke
-Lighter, shaving stroke of moderate pressure-Used with curets-Stroke length slightly longer than calculus removal stroke-Light pressure is applied against the cementum during this stroke
24
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Root Surfaces
-Conservation of cementum facilitates tissue healing-Important function of cementum is to attach periodontal ligament fibers to root surface-Root debridement stroke used with light pressure -Conservation of cementum should not be confused with failure to remove calculus deposits
25

Use of Pressure During Instrumentation
During instrumentation, different tasks will require different applications of pressure. There are three pressure forces of the instrumentation stroke.
-Pinch pressure of fingers in modified pen grasp
-Pressure of the fulcrum finger to stabilize the hand
-Lateral pressure against the tooth during instrumentation stroke
26
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Assessment Stroke and Pressure
-Light pinch pressure with grasp-Light pressure on fulcrum-Feather-light pressure as working-end moves over the tooth surface
27
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Calculus Removal Stroke and Pressure
-Instrument held with moderate pinch pressure-Firm pressure against fulcrum-Firm lateral pressure applied as cutting edge “bites” into tooth surface (hand rests between strokes)
28
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Root Surface Debridement Stroke and Pressure
-Instrument held with moderate pinch pressure-Moderate pressure applied on fulcrum finger-Moderate lateral pressure applied as cutting edge performs “shaving” stroke

Recap: Ergonomics of Stroke Pressure
-The three pressure forces of instrumentation strokes should be balanced during strokes-Unnecessary or constant firm pressure becomes a bad habit-Gauge amount of pressure, apply with brief pressure, and relax after each stroke

Step-by-Step Technique
Assessment Stroke
32

1. Get Ready
Place working-end of the explorer in the middle-third of the crown.
33
Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer • All Rights Reserved
Slide the explorer tip beneath the gingival margin, keeping tip against tooth. Insert until the explorer touches the soft tissue at the base of the pocket.
2. Insert
34

3. Make a Stroke
Make a light stroke away from the soft tissue base of the pocket.Keep your fingers very relaxed in the grasp.
35

4. Stop the Stroke
Stop each stroke just beneath the gingival margin.
36

5. Make a Series of Strokes
Make a series of feather-light strokes across the facial surface.

Characteristics of Assessment Strokes
-Flowing, feather-light stroke of moderate length-Contacts the tooth, but no pressure applied against the tooth surface for this stroke
