June is here, and we’re using that extra sunshine to take a closer look at something hygienists use every day: instrumentation.

This month, we're talking implants, hand instrumentation, ultrasonics, ergonomics, patient comfort, and the clinical judgment behind the tools we reach for all day long. From Emily Boge’s case for going back to the basics to Noel and Rich Paschke’s deep dive into ultrasonic science, these episodes are all about using our instruments more thoughtfully.
