9/4/12

This was our first day back in clinic. I had two pt's, both of whom I predicted were 1B's .  I planned it this way to re-establishment patient care flow, and confidence in instrumentation and x-rays. I finished both pt.'s and it went well. I do have areas that need improvement. The first is not missing calculus on the posterior molars. It is difficult to reach these areas and I plan to use my Montana Jack next time to see if that will help. I took care to practice instrument adaptation, particularly to not miss calculus and for pt comfort. I did miss two spots, which bothers me because they were easier pt's. My plan is to establish a pattern or instrumentation so that it is efficient, but also thorough.
