Today I took on a challenge that was beyond any difficult dental hygiene patient. with 7mm-9mm pockets, furcations, tenacious subgingival calculus, and gingiva that would bleed if you were to breath on it. what appeared as an impossible task, was an experience that put difficult into perspective. I thought I had experienced a difficult patient with tenacious calculus, but not compared to the volume this patient had. I had my 13/14 gracy going and it was literally bending like it was going to snap, and it still could not get some of the calculus. After that experience, I don't think I will complain again about a class 2 or class 3 patient. All I know is that I am extremely grateful for the experience.
After 1 quad of that I finished two quads of a class 3 that was pretty easy, but my scale time improved immensely. Thanks Mechel and Sarah!
Mark, out.
