Mandibular Right Buccal
There are two different techniques to work on the mandibular right buccal using direct vision from 9 o'clock:
1. The tube hangs under the hand. Use the middle finger and ErgoFinger® together to retract the cheek.
2. Use the pen grip. The middle finger and ErgoFinger® together retract the cheek.
Retracting the cheek only with the ErgoFinger's nozzle part is not recommended to prevent any strain on your finger.
Tip:
Asking the patient to slightly close will relax the cheek muscles, making it easier to move the cheeks out of the way and give you more room to work.
