Implementation:
One of the most difficult action I have done in clinic is when one of my patient was suffering from back pain and she told me not to lay her back and down. My patient comfort was all I cared about that moment. I remembered that one of my faculty told us that if we had a situation like that we have to be standing and doing the work. I did all my best to give the best cleaning I can give while I was standing for straight three hours and I even thought we were told to stay at 8-12 o’clock operator position. I had to sacrifices my comfort for my patient
One of my major concern is how to decide whether the patient need scaling only or scaling and root planning. I still have some difficulty figuring this out. There is never rules when dealing with a patient because every patient is treated differently. Patients with deep pockets of 5 mm and above and recession usually receive scaling and root planning treatment whether it is for a couple teeth or a whole quad. Healthy patients with 3mm pockets usually apply adult prophylaxis on them.
