My school? Every appointment. Invenst in an automatic cuff.
Temperature is about yo be the new norm as well.
Depends on your school, mine “gave” (aka tuition) us manual ones. But no there arent hundreds of BP cuffs lying around our clinic.
They teach you, but personally I did not get enough practice to use those so I always prefer the electronic ones. The dental assistants in our clinic seem to be better than us students at using manual BP cuffs.
You should learn how to use manual even if you don't.
In dental school, we had to do BP every appointment. In real world, my assistants/hygienist do at exams and extractions. I personally have only taken one BP since graduating - only after my assidtant failed to get it. But in school, get a electronic cuff - they're generally not as reliable as someone who's really good at getting them manually - but close enough, and will save you a few minutes of time that you'd otherwise be fumbling around with the cuff
