Today i had got two quads of a class 3. He had a complete denture on the maxillary arch and only enough teeth to qualify as 2 quads on the mandibular arch. I took 3 bwx. It was pretty tough; there was a lot of hard calculus. I finished him up. In the afternoon I had a 1A. He didn't need any x-rays and no sealants. I was hoping for sealants, because I haven't had any this semester yet, but oh well. Luckily my afternoon was pretty easy after my morning!

My first pt today was a recall from last semester. he was a class 2 but now a class 5. i did my exam on him. he did not have too much calculus. My 2nd pt was a class 2 and was a new pt. i did a full mouth series on her. her mouth was really tiny and it was a little tricky, but i got through it. she had a lot of biofilm, but not much calculus. i did full mouth ultra sonic and then hand instrument. i'm really excited i did a full mouth and finished a class 2 all in one appointment! yay

I'm just happy both of my pt's showed up today! Both were a class V. My morning pt needed bitewings. the computers went down and lost all my x-rays so i had to re take them with conventional. She didn't have too much calculus, so i finished her pretty quickly. My afternoon pt needed a full mouth but didn't want one, so we did bitewings and one PA on a defective restoration. He also did not have too much calculus, it was mostly on the Mandibular anterior linguals. He was my first pt with alot of recession and furcation involvement.

My first patient today was a class 2. He had an extensive health history and needed a physician consult for his knee replacements. We got back the consult pretty quickly, so i could start. I took 4 bitewings and 1 PA on a defective restoration. I finished him up and had the Dr come take a look. He was having a little pain on the tooth with the defective restoration. Dr Hopkin recommended him to have the tooth pulled and referred him to mid town. I wanted to pass off more PE's but maybe next time. My 2nd pt didn't show up! Oh well.......
