All that for 1 quad class III?

Today my goals were....

1) To get my OD done and scale one quad.
2) To hopefully class my pt as 4 quads class III

Well... my day didn't exactly turn out as I had hoped. I had to take retakes on conventional film which takes forever because of processing, and spent time rationaling my patient as a class III. In the ned I was only able to classify 1 quad as a class III. I did, however, have an "AHA!" moment when it comes to x-rays. I guess I am just able to better visualize how to open up the contacts (about time, right?). I didn't get to scaling at all, he is coming in next wednesday morning and I need to scale all 4 quads on him in that one morning, but I think I should be able to do that.

FINALLY!

Finally a perfect day (well almost anyways)

My goal: Get my 1B done in 1 appointment

I got my 1B done, missed no spots AND didn't have to take any retakes on my x-rays! I was SO HAPPY!!

I didn't pass off any PEs today, and I've been sort of neglecting them lately, so I need to get to work on those! But overall I was pleased with today!

No missed calculus

Today my goals were

1) Finish up the pt I didn't quite have time to finish last wednesday.
2) Scale the remainig 3 quads on a different pt and do 4 sealants on her.
3) Pass off my intra oral camera PE.
4) Miss one spot of calculus or less on her 3 quads.

I made my goal! Both my pts were so sweet and fun to be around, I just loved them! I ended up missing no spots of calculus, which is awsome because for about 2 weeks there I was struggling with that! I finished up and walked out on time (which is something else I struggled with last week) I ended up only being able to do one of the sealants on my pt, but I still was able to complete a "sealant experience" so it was still good!

Today was a good day :)
