Goal: I wasn't sure what I was going to get with this patient since all of my requirements were completed except for Class III. I was just hoping to finish her if she was a IB.
Actual: 2 Quads of Class III, 4 BWX
I went in this clinic not expecting much because I was unsure what was going to happen. I knew I needed more patients over my requirements, so I was just expecting this. I took horizonal BWX not thinking I would need vertical. After looking at the films, I noticed she had boneloss. I am still pretty new at noticing what each level means, so I didn't get my hopes up. I took her back for probing and didn't get anything significant like I thought I would with a Class III. I was expecting maybe a Class II. My instructor came over and noticed the bone loss on the films and probed where I did. She told me my patient was a Class III, and I was so excited! I was able to complete the lower half of her mouth and will bring her back for the rest at another appointment! YAY! What a great day!
