Term 6 of 219
Multidirectional Strokes
the hand, wrist & arm work as a unit to produce a rotating motion used to move the
working-end of an instrument
Inner Edge: used to instrument distal surfaces
Outer Edge: used to instrument the facial, lingual & mesial surfaces
-On Anterior Teeth: ONLY the outer cutting edges are used
-are a series of overlapping strokes produced by a sequence of vertical, oblique, &
horizontal strokes
-the sequence use of 3 stroke directions results in an overlapping pattern of strokes to
assure that ever mm of the surface is instrumented
the position of the first 1-2mm of the working-ends lateral surface in contact with the tooth
,Definition 7 of 219
