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?
