My FM class IV was really a class V.... darn! She was classified last semester and when I saw her again today it was clear that she was not a true class IV. I had to suck it up and get over it.... I am still working on getting over it.
It was a good appointment in that I used my gracey's almost the whole time. I have never used them so much in one appt. I really liked using them too! Surprise, surprise! I worked slow and took my time. I enjoyed the appointment a lot! I like being able to slow down and not stress and pay attention to detail.
I saw some things that I haven't seen before. She had greyish blackish smudge looking things just under the gingiva on a couple of teeth. I talked to Perry about it and he said, try taking it off, if you feel that you are in the right place and nothing is coming off, then move on. So that is what I did. A lot of it stayed and some come off.
I had to instrument a ton on root surface today which was also new. It is weird when the tooth is so skinny!!
My afternoon patient is a gem! I really liked her!!
UNFORTUNATELY.... she had a cold sore :( Pt was dismissed. Sad Day!!
So what did I learn today? Some gracey technique and root debridement technique.
It is sucky feeling behind on quads...........
