Last Wednesday I was able to look through all of my instruments and identify them. They are identifiable by their rigidity, light or heavy calculus removal, functional shank (simple/complex), primary use (anterior/posterior), Terminal shank (short/long), Depth (sub/supra), working end (round/pointed), blade orientation. I was lucky to have an instructor that taught me thoroughly. I have a lot to study to learn them by name, but I do know which one is used for each surface/tooth.
I was able to pass off my probing and exploring PE today. It was a huge relief because I had a busy weekend!
