Electrosurgery
Got to use an electrosurgery unit today to lower the gingival margin to expose a restorative margin, a few tips I learned:
-There is a pad that must be placed under the patient's back to complete the circuit. This can be outside of their clothes
-Use a plastic mirror to avoid electric shocks
-The cutting setting cuts gingiva like butter, be very careful and practice your motions before you press the button down
- A sweeping motion in one direction with the tip at an angle to the gingiva is best to lower the marin
-Get the teeth numb. If you touch the tooth with the electrosurg the patient will feel the electric shock?
