Cаse Study One Mrs. Hоlidаy is а 37-year-оld accоuntant. She visited ISU Dental Hygiene Clinic a year and a half ago. Her chief complaint is that she has a sensitive tooth on the upper right side. Her oral assessment shows 3-4 mm sulcus/pocket depths with type I embrasure spaces. She presents with marginal inflammation, generalizedlight calculus and moderate biofilm in the posterior regions with localized areas of bone loss on the radiographs. She brushes twice a day most of the time with Crest toothpaste and a manual toothbrush and uses dental floss when she thinks of it. There is one white spot lesion on the buccal of #5 as well as a carious lesion on the distal of 3 seen radiographically. She is worried that she has a cavity and would like to learn ways to prevent this from happening in the future.
