IntroductionIntroduction A technique used to remove plaque and

stains from the coronal surfaces of the teeth. A dental handpiece, a rubber cup, and an abrasive agent are used.

In some states, coronal polishing is delegated to registered or expanded-function dental assistants who have had special training in this procedure. Coronal polishing is strictly limited to the clinical crowns of the teeth. A coronal polish is NOT a substitute for an oral prophylaxis.

Selective PolishingSelective Polishing Selective polishing is a procedure in which

only those teeth or surfaces with stain are polished.

The purpose of selective polishing is to avoid removing even small amounts of the surface enamel unnecessarily.

For some individuals, stain removal may cause dentinal hypersensitivity during and after the appointment.

Benefits of Coronal PolishingBenefits of Coronal PolishingFluoride is better accepted into the enamel.Polishing prepares the teeth for placement of dental sealants.

Smooth tooth surfaces are easier for the patient to keep clean.

Formation of new deposits is slowed.Patients appreciate the smooth feeling and clean appearance.

Polishing prepares the teeth for placement of orthodontic brackets and/or bands.

Dental StainsDental Stains Stains of the teeth occur in three basic ways:

• Stain adheres directly to the surface of the tooth.

• Stain can be embedded in calculus and plaque deposits.

• Stain is incorporated within the tooth structure.

Before coronal polishing is undertaken to remove stains, it is important to distinguish between extrinsic and intrinsic stains.

Extrinsic Stains Extrinsic Stains Occur on the external surfaces of the teeth

and may be removed by scaling and/or polishing.

Extrinsic stains are caused by certain substances such as tobacco, coffee, tea, red wine, certain drugs, and chromogenic (color-producing) bacteria.

Intrinsic Stains Intrinsic Stains An internal discoloration of the tooth that

may be caused by exposure to medicine (e.g., tetracycline or excessive fluoride ingestion), or other causes during tooth development.

The dental assistant must be able to recognize these conditions because these stains cannot be removed by polishing or scaling.

Methods of Removing Plaque and StainMethods of Removing Plaque and Stain

Air-powder polishing

• The air-powder polishing technique uses a specially designed handpiece with a nozzle that delivers a high-pressure stream of warm water and sodium bicarbonate.

Rubber cup polishing

• The most common technique for removing stains and plaque and polishing the teeth.

• A rubber polishing cup is rotated slowly and carefully by a prophy angle attached to the slow-speed handpiece.

Rotary Equipment for Coronal PolishingRotary Equipment for Coronal Polishing Polishing cups

• Soft, webbed polishing cups are used to clean and polish the smooth surfaces of the teeth. The polishing cup attaches to the reusable prophy angle by either a snap-on or screw-on attachment.

Prophylaxis angle • Commonly called a prophy angle, attaches to the

slow-speed handpiece. • The reusable prophy angle must be properly

cleaned and sterilized after each use.• A disposable angle is discarded after a single

use.

Bristle BrushesBristle Brushes Bristle brushes are made from either

natural or synthetic materials and may be used to remove stains from deep pits and fissures of the enamel surfaces.

Bristle brushes can cause severe gingival lacerations and must be used with special care.

Brushes are not recommended for use on exposed cementum or dentin because these surfaces are soft and are easily grooved.

Abrasives Abrasives Dental abrasives (polishing materials) are used

to remove stain and to polish natural teeth, prosthetic appliances, restorations, and castings.

Abrasives are available in extra coarse, coarse, medium, fine, and extra fine. The coarser the agent, the more abrasive the surface.

Even a fine-grit agent removes small amounts of the enamel surface.

The goal is to always use the abrasive agent that will produce the least amount of abrasion to the tooth surface.

Factors That Influence Rate of AbrasionFactors That Influence Rate of Abrasion

The more agent used, the greater the degree of abrasion.

The lighter the pressure, the less abrasion.

The slower the rotation of the cup, the less abrasion.

The lighter the pressure, the less abrasion.

The slower the rotation of the cup, the less abrasion.


Polishing StrokesPolishing Strokes Fill the polishing cup with the polishing agent and

spread it over several teeth in the areas to be polished.

Establish a finger rest, and place the cup almost in contact with the tooth.

The stroke should be from the gingival third toward the incisal third of the tooth.

Use the slowest speed, and then apply the revolving cup lightly to the tooth surface for 1 to 2 seconds.

Use light pressure to make the edges of the polishing cup flare slightly.

Use a patting, wiping motion and an overlapping stroke.

Positioning the PatientPositioning the Patient Adjust the dental chair so that the patient is

approximately parallel to the floor with the back of the chair raised slightly.

Adjust the headrest for patient comfort and operator visibility.

For the mandibular arch, position the patient's head with the chin down. When the mouth is open, the lower jaw should be parallel to the floor.

For access to the maxillary arch, position the patient's head with the chin up.

The Handpiece GraspThe Handpiece Grasp The handpiece and prophylaxis angle are

held in a pen grasp with the handle resting in the V-shaped area of the hand between the thumb and index finger.

A proper grasp is important because if the grasp is not secure and comfortable, the weight and balance of the handpiece can cause hand and wrist fatigue.

Handpiece OperationHandpiece Operation The rheostat (foot pedal) controls the speed

(rpm) of the handpiece.

The toe of the foot is used to activate the rheostat. The sole of the foot remains flat on the floor.

Apply a steady pressure with the toe on the rheostat to produce a slow, even speed.

Use a low-speed handpiece that operates to a maximum of 20,000 rpm.

Release the rheostat to prevent debris from splattering when the handpiece is removed from the tooth for more than a moment.

The Fulcrum/Finger RestThe Fulcrum/Finger Rest The fulcrum provides stability for the operator

and must be placed in such a way as to allow for movement of the wrist and forearm.

The fulcrum is repositioned throughout the procedure as necessary.

The fulcrum may be either intraoral or extraoral, depending on a variety of circumstances such as:

• The presence or absence of teeth.• The area of the mouth being polished.• How wide the patient can open the mouth.

Positioning of the OperatorPositioning of the Operator The operator's feet should be flat on the floor with

the thighs parallel to the floor.

The operator's arms should be at waist level and even with the patient's mouth.

When performing a coronal polish procedure, the right-handed operator generally begins by being seated at the 8 to 9 o'clock position.

When performing a coronal polish procedure, the left-handed operator generally begins by being seated at the 3 to 4 o'clock position.

The Sequence of PolishingThe Sequence of Polishing The full mouth coronal polishing must be

done in a predetermined sequence to be certain that no area is missed.

The best sequence is based on the operator's preference and the individual needs of the patient.

The positions and fulcrums described in the following slides are for a right-handed operator.

Flossing After Coronal PolishingFlossing After Coronal Polishing Dental floss and tape have two purposes after coronal

polishing.

• The first is to polish the interproximal tooth surfaces.

• The second is to remove any abrasive agent or debris that may be lodged in the contact area.

Place abrasive on the contact area between the teeth, and work the floss or tape through the contact area with a back-and-forth motion.

A floss threader can be used to pass the floss under any fixed bridgework to gain access to the abutment teeth.

Patient InstructionsPatient Instructions Most patients are self-conscious about

stains on their teeth and appreciate any tips you can give them as to how to they can keep their teeth as white as possible.

It is important to educate patients about the cause of stains.

When the stains are intrinsic, the dentist may want you to discuss possible cosmetic dental care options to satisfy their desire for attractive and stain-free teeth.
