My goal for today was to pass off my root debridement and periodontal file PE's. I got to see my class IV patient this morning and it was a great learning experience. #8 had class III mobility, and I had to hold it in while I scaled it. I got both of my PE's passed off too. In the afternoon I think I found my board patient! I haven't taken x-rays yet, but I'm pretty sure he will qualify. It just scares me to decide on a board patient because I don't think I'll ever be 100% sure they will qualify. My goal for next time is to get 2 quads done on my class IV patient.

My goal for today was to find a class 3 or 4 patient. I did find a class 3 patient this afternoon, and the 2 quads that I did today finished my class 3 requirements. Now I just need 4 more quads of a class 4. My patient didn't show up this morning, so I tried to find somebody else, but I didn't have any luck. It was great though, because I got to do LA on the Midtown patients and Chanci's patient. I got a total of 4 LA experiences today! My goal for next time is to pass off my last root debridement PE and my periodontal file PE.
