Patient Experiences Log Patient Initials AAP Calculus Class Completion Date Ethnicity Age & Lifestage Summary of Treatment and Learning Experiences C.C. I II 4/24/07 Hispanic 5, Early childhood Pediatric competency. Assessments, OHI (Fones), plaque debridement with toothbrush, partial coronal polish. Difficult patient due to age, language barrier and attention span. This experience helped me better understand patient management. L.T. II III 4/26/07 Caucasian 29, Early adulthood Assessments, OHI (Stillmans), probe evaluation, hand scaling, 2% NaF. There were no surprises with this patient, the appointment went smoothly. I learned that although the focus is on removing subgingival calculus, one should not forget the supragingival plaque. T.S. II III 5/10/07 Caucasian 37, Early adulthood Assessments, OHI (Stillmans/floss pick), hand scaling, coronal polish, 2% NaF. This patient was late twice, so I learned how to be efficient with my time.

Patient may have aggressive periodontitis and has been referred to UCSF/private practice for a perio evaluation. This experience taught me how to work with a high maintenance patient with hypersalivation, 4-6mm pockets, heavy bleeding and heavy calculus on the lingual anteriors. J.D. III IV 7/13/07 Caucasian 76, Late adulthood Assessments, BWX, OHI (Stillmans), S/RP. The patient is very nice but somewhat difficult to work with due to memory problems, which make it hard for the patient to focus his thoughts. This case has given me a better idea of what deep subgingival calculus feels like and the kind of firm working stroke that is needed to remove it. M.K. I III 7/23/07 Asian / PI 30, Early adulthood Assessments, OHI Stillman s, floss technique for a lingual bar and smoking cessation information. This patient was Erin Kinoshita Schlough 1

He also had light subgingival calculus and moderate supragingival calculus on the lingual anteriors. R.S II III 7/25/07 Caucasian 57, Adulthood Medically compromised competency. Assessments, FMX, OHI (Bass).
