Detection of Morphology & Deposits Part 1 Foundations of Clinical Skills and Practice Sarah Balian GDC Learning Outcomes Intended Learning Outcomes By the end of this session students should be able to: Explain the different methods of deposit detection on the tooth surface. Discuss limitations and pros and cons of each method. Recognise that detection of deposits on the tooth surface is not isolated to one method but multiple methods combined. Discuss the characteristics of effective probing technique in terms of hand grasp, adaptation angulation, pressure and stroke. Discuss the limitations of probing and how clinicians can mitigate against errors in probing.
