New Pаtient Visit: Yоu hаve educаted Genevieve by using her radiоgraphs and periоdontal charting, that if you just remove the unsightly stains without removing the subgingival calculus, it would do her more harm than good. Both you and Genevieve understand the limited prognosis for most of her teeth, but after consulting the dentist, it has been determined that scaling and root planing with local anesthetics could be performed. What can you tell Genevieve to prepare her for what she may experience after scaling and root planing procedures have been completed?
Refer tо this cаse study tо аnswer the fоllowing questions: Cаse Study Mr. Benson Mr. Benson is a 63 year old retired electrician that came to you as a new patient 2 months ago when an FMX was taken. His classification as a new patient was: Perio: 3B, CC-4, SC-2. You had him in for 4 quadrants of scaling and root planing and he is in with you today for a re-evaluation appointment. The dentist you work for promotes conservative use of Chlorhexidine both as an at-home rinse and for in-office irrigation in limited sites that do not respond to initial therapy. Your dentist also uses Arestin in localized sites that have not responded to initial therapy. These options will be considered as you and your dentist assess your patient today. Mr. Benson had called the office prior to his appointment today complaining of pain on his lower left side when he bites down and when he eats something hot. Mr. Bensons states that his "entire mouth" has been sensitive to cold since his first quadrant was scaled. He states he has never had his teeth cleaned so aggressively before and feels that all of his sensitivity is from you, the hygienist, "digging" his gums and "scraping" his teeth. Medical History: Takes medication for high blood pressure, one baby aspirin a day, and is allergic to tetracycline. Blood pressure today is 118/78. Oral Hygiene: Currently uses an electric toothbrush 2x/day and usually flosses 1x/day. Plaque score was 70% as a new patient and is down to 28% today. Dental charting: occlusal amalgams on his first mandibular molars that were placed when he was in his 30's One year ago Mr. Benson had an MO amalgam placed on teeth #2 and 14, and an occlusal amalgam placed on #15. #14-M has an overhang restoration. Your findings today: #19-ML has a 5mm pocket with inflammation and slight residual calculus (this is the only 5mm pocket in his mouth) #18-B has a fistula near the apex and a periapical radiolucency #14-M has a 4mm pocket with BOP and no residual calculus 2 BOP sites: #14,19, Generalized 1-2mm recession with no mobility or furcations
