I am CA today. I have 3 down and only 1 to go in the spring semester. Its kind of a long slow day, but gotta get it done. I have a make-up day at the VA tomorrow and then off for the whole weekend for thanksgiving! I have 5 quads of a class 3 left. I'm hoping with the extra day at the VA and my last patient I will finish my requirements for the semester......

My patient did not show this morning. 2 hours after his appointment was supposed to start he showed! I only had enough time to do an OD, and he ended up being 3 quads of a class 4. I resheduled him for my last week of clinic. I took 4 BWX and on tooth number #19 you could see condensing osteitis...it was pretty cool. I also had a class 5 today, so I just tried to pass off some PE's.

Yay! I got a class 3 today.... I found alot of calculus on the entire buccal and lingual surfaces. He was very compliant, so that helped. I was hoping for some LA, but he didn't need it. I finished him up and i am SLOWLY moving along on my class 3's. The afternoon was pretty easy, because I had a class 5. I did get a couple of PA's on her. She has low blood glucose levels, so I did a glucose test on her and the results were normal.

In lab this morning we learned how to handle emergency situations and also learned about desensitization and subgingival irrigation....pretty exciting! I also worked on a class 5 patient which i didn't really need, because i have more than triple my requirements! i did get 8 PA's on her though which i did need:) It was a little tough to get the x-rays, because of her mandibular tori.
