Yоur first pаtient in the spring hаs hypоthyrоid аnd hypertension, controlled with levothyroxine and lisinopril. The vitals for today are 142/84, pulse 80 and respirations 14. They haven't had a dental appointment in a year and had bitewings taken then. Your head and neck findings indicate a few abnormalities to chart and their periodontal assessments indicates that they have localized recession on premolars and generalized 1-3mm probe depths. They indicate that they clench at night and you find that some of the anterior teeth move less than 1mm when you test mobility using 2 blunt ends of instruments. Since they are low risk for caries and have no dental concerns, you determine that they do not need new radiographs. Use this information to answer the following questions. QUESTION: When your faculty watches your probing technique, which would be inaccurate?
