Goals for today:
1. Get through the OD and scale one quad.
Today was very successful, my patient was so nice and easy going, and best of all he didn't have any health concerns. We made it through the health history, then we were off to take x rays. Well today I decided to use the shick system since I haven't used it yet and I absolutely hate it, I figured i get it out of the way. Then after taking four bwx I had to retake two of them, dang it! We retake the x rays, then we were off to probe his mouth and get an OD check. Well me only seeing patients who have been 1B's, thought my patient today was a 1B as well. I really couldn't see any boneloss on his x rays, or a lot of calculus on they x rays either. So as instructor Wold asks me what class he was I said a 1B, and she told me she would have to disagree she thought he was a class 2 on the lowers and class 5 on the uppers! Well I felt like an idiot. Then she explained to me why he was these specific classes and it made more sense ha ha. Well I was able to get scaling on the upper right, which was a little scary because it was a class five and I didn't know what to do. ha ha I was concerned because I didn't know if you cleaned a class five the same way that you clean a class 1B? Anyways it all work out any was fine. I didn't miss any calculus, which was awesome.
