You are working with a dental faculty to complete an initial appointment on a new patient during an NPE appointment. Since the patient had radiographs transferred, you had time after completing the head and neck exam to do a periodontal evaluation and record a PSR score. After completing this evaluation you enter these scores into the PSR chart and discuss your findings with your faculty member. Use this information to answer the following questions. 3 2 4 3* 2* 2 QUESTION: Which is the main instrument that you are using to conduct the PSR periodontal evaluation?

Your first patient in the spring has hypothyroid and 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?

Your patient hasn’t been to the dentist in 5 years and has 3-6mm probe depths and a localized 8mm probe depth at an implant. There is generalized calculus and 3 implants, one with significant bone loss. The dental hygiene diagnosis is moderate periodontal disease,  ADA III with a .3 level of calculus. Through a periodontal consult with the periodontist at the first appointment the patient is treatment planned to have 4 quadrants of scaling and root planing and a consultation in the graduate periodontal clinic regarding the implant.  You and a senior student are paired to complete the last appointment of SPR treatment today, you are each completing one quadrant.  The senior student checks out a variety of ultrasonic inserts and instruments and you are helping to set up.  Use this information to answer the following questions. QUESTION: Which part of the dental hygiene process of care is the focus for this SRP appointment?
