My patient was a class 2. He had a lot of calculus that was just impossible to remove! I feel like I scaled and scaled and it just would not come off. I basically missed every interproximal spot. Instructor wold said that i was just not going interproximal and deep enough. I only got one quad done, so i will have to bring him back to finish.
I had two patients scheduled for this afternoon and neither one showed up! Luckily Jackie had an extra patient. He was just a 1B, but it was nice to at least have a patient. He was pretty easy, but had really sensitive teeth!

Some class 2s are really hard! I think I had a class 2 pt last semester that was harder than one of my class 3s or even 4s. It was the same story as you - I really felt like nothing was coming off even as I was using the ultrasonic. But you're doing good. At least you got one quad finished. Next time you'll be better prepared on what to expect. Keep up the good work!
I agree with Holly! I almost always miss more on my class 2's than anything else.
I feel so bad that your patients are not showing up! Are you going to need extra clinic sessions, or go to the VA to makeup?
I also hate it when I try my hardest to remove all the calculus and it's still there! It is soooo frustrating!
