Today I saw a class II patient that had a couple 8mm, 7mm, 6mm and 5mm pockets! I made a goal that today I was going to get 4 vertical BW, an an entire OD done with one quad of scaling. After probing I was really nervous because I have only ever scaled a 1B patient before. I did my best to make sure my probe depths were correct, but I was hitting calculus so a few were off. I re-probed after I cleaned him and it felt a lot better. I used my ultrasonic and I was nervous at first, putting this instrument down such a deep pocket! After awhile I got the hang of it! I missed a spot on the distal of #32, a wisdom tooth!! But out of 16 teeth I only missed 3 spots! The best part about it was that one quad classified as a class III :) Wahoo!!!!
