Case Study #3: Your first patient in clinic is a healthy 24 year old with probe depths 1-3mm and tight, resilient tissue. They report that they do not floss and have not had a dental visit in 6 years. They have generalized calculus interproximal and you are using the sickle scalers to access the calculus.  You notice that you don’t have a sharpening card in your cassette, so you begin scaling without sharpening. While you are scaling, you place the instrument at the proper location on each tooth and use light, sweeping, supragingival strokes using your fingers. When your clinic instructor checks your scaling progress, they indicate that you have missed several areas of calculus in the middle of the proximals and have burnished other areas of calculus. In summary, you have not made much progress with your scaling. Use this information to answer the following questions. QUESTION: Which could contribute to the burnished calculus?

Case #4: You are seeing a new patient and are finishing their assessments by taking intraoral camera photos. Through your assessments, you have determined that the patient does not have recession, gingival inflammation, or periodontal pockets and has a .2 level of calculus. You are primarily going to be using the sickles for scaling their teeth today. Use this information to answer the following questions.  QUESTION: Where do you get the intraoral camera?

CASE STUDY #2: You are getting ready to see a difficult .3 periodontal maintenance patient. You want to verify that you are using sharp instruments throughout the appointment so you check and sharpen them carefully.  You work carefully during instrumentation to make sure that you are using accurate scaling strokes to avoid incomplete removal of the calculus. Use this information to answer the next 5 questions. QUESTION: Which reason is inaccurate regarding sharpening instruments?

Complete what she tells a group of prospective students by selecting the correct verb based on the context.    dos bibliotecas en el campus: una la biblioteca de Medicina… obviamente adonde van los estudiantes que estudian medicina; el resto de los estudiantes va a la otra. La biblioteca general cerca del centro estudiantil, donde salones que pueden (you all can) reservar para reuniones o eventos. También computadoras que pueden usar. El centro estudiantil uno de mis lugares favoritos. También me gusta mi residencia estudiantil. lejos de los edificios administrativos, pero no tengo que pasar mucho por ellos.  varias residencias estudiantiles por el campus, pero unas más modernas que otras. Las residencias viejas no  malas… más feas, quizás (maybe)…
