lay down the law before you give them the appointment. And you don't have to give them your fIrst available appointment. You can schedule it a few weeks out.
CONFIRM YOUR APPOINTMENTS I recommend calling your patient the day before the appointment to confIrm the appointment. Don't think that this is annoying to the patient: most patients really appreciate it. Very few patients find it annoying. And I know it's a hassle to confmn your patients. You have too much stuff to do already, you don't need more stuff. But if you confIrm your patient, you'll have less missed appointments. It's as simple as that. How bad do you want your patients to show up?
DENTURE PATIENTS You need to ask them certain things.
Do you have any pain with anything in your mouth?
Do you have any of you natural teeth left? Which ones?
Have you ever worn a denture before?
Do you currently wear a denture? How do you like it?
You need to tell them certain things. Maybe you don't have so say everything in the fIrst phone call, but you should say all this and more during the diagnosis appointment. You should cover everything in great detail during the diagnosis appointment. Of course what you tell them depends upon what they want: partial or complete dentures, conventional or immediate dentures. This is what I might say for someone who wants conventional complete dentures and has their natural teeth.
At the dental school, we work really hard to make your dentures, but it'll take a lot of appointments.
It takes 2 or more appointments to remove the teeth and 7 or more to make the dentures.
Once your teeth are out, it takes 2 months for your mouth to heal. And it usually takes two months
to finish the dentures. During this time, you won't have teeth. That's the timeframe we're looking
at.
Dentures aren't real teeth. They feel different. And when you eat or drink or talk, it's different, and
it takes some time to get used to it.
Most people like their top denture, but the bottom denture moves around a lot. We can place
implants that'll help keep the lower denture in place.
I also give them a piece of paper on how to take care of their new denture. I know they're not getting a
new denture, it's only the diagnosis appointment. But there's a piece of paper that we give out when
patients get new dentures, and it talks about what it's like having a denture and the things you have to do.
It would be a great idea for the patient to read this now. They'll have a better idea on what to expect.
There's probably more stuff you should tell them, ask your denture teachers about it. I'm not a denture
expert, I don't know.
GIVING ESTIMATES
It's polite to estimate the cost of the appointment before hand. It's also essential to emphasize that it's just
an estimate. I use the word guess. You don't know for sure what will happen.
A small fIlling can turn into a large fIlling.
A filling can turn into a root canal.
A prophy can turn into SRP.
You can plan to do an MO on #13 and discover a DO on #12 in the process.

WHY YOU NEED A CROWN Why do you crown a tooth? To give the tooth extra protection against fractures. CROWN = PROTECTION FROM FRACTURE. Patients frequently don't understand this. They think you only need a crown if the tooth breaks: CROWN = WAY TO SAVE THE TOOTH AFTER A FRACTURE. You should be able to explain the benefit of a crown to the patient. Here's a way to do it. This tooth is weak. Filling to big, there's a craze line, tooth had endo, etc There's a risk this tooth will fracture. Bite down on a cherry pit or a bone, bite just the wrong way, the tooth may break. It might not break. There's about a 50/50 chance. If the tooth does break, we mayor may not be able to save it. Sometimes it's easy to save the tooth. Sometimes it's very hard and expensive to save the tooth. And sometimes we can't save it, the only thing we can do is remove the tooth. Putting a crown on the tooth will protect the tooth from fracture. It lowers the chance of a fracture. And it increases the chance of you keeping that tooth until you're a little old man. If you're willing to take the risk, you don't have to get a crown. If you want the protection and the peace of mind, you should get the crown. Getting a crown is what I recommend. If you were a member of my family, that's what I'd do for you. When you decide that you're ready to put a crown on that tooth, just give me a call and we'll set up an appointment. .
HAVE CONFIDENCE Do you feel like you're not ready for clinic? Are you scared to give injections and do fillings? Do you feel like the dentistry you do isn't very good? Do you lack confidence? It's ok, a lot of people feel that way. The best way to get confident is to do it a lot. That doesn't apply to you at this time. The next best way to get confident is to prepare very well. Think about your patients the day before. Think about all the steps to each procedure. Figure out what instruments you need and where do get them. Then you've done everything you could to get prepared. Then when the patient comes and you get stuck, you have all sorts of people here to help you. Just tell the patient I'll be right back. You don't have to say why. Do don't have to say I don't know what to do or I got stuck. You could just say I want to get a second opinion on something, or I want to show my teacher something. If you're working on a patient, never say Oops or Whoops. And if you don't understand something, it's ok to ask the teacher, but don't do it in front of the patient.
PROBLEMS Taking x-rays is a problem. For the first 2 weeks, everybody needs x-rays. There aren't enough x-ray machines or x-ray cubicles. You aren't allowed to take x-rays until you've had your radiology rotation. So you have to fmd someone to take x-rays for you. And then you have to wait in line. And then sometimes the software crashes. It's a hassle. How do you explain it to the patient? Blame it on the dental school. Just say there's not enough x-ray cubicles. There are long lines. And why can't you take the x-rays? The dental school doesn't want me to take the x-rays, it wants other people to take the x-rays, and I have to respect the rules here.
~
Another problem is everyone is doing diagnoses at the same time. It takes a teacher forever to check a diagnosis. So you'll have to wait on teachers for a long time. And you'll have to explain this to patients. Another problem is everyone needs to treatment plan right away, and there's not enough treatment planning appointments available.

FIXED CEMENT APPT [BEFORE APPT) Get crown and casts from lab Evaluate contacts, margin, and occlusion on the mounted/sectioned cast Evaluate contacts and margin on the rigid cast
[SETUP] TEAM: PPE, cart TEAM: blue napkins, head covers & tape, wrap TEAM: cotton, suction tips, mask, ALCOHOL CUBE: handpieces & 3-way, napkin chain, anesthetic CSR: op/fixed kit & burs, SS/HS, eX1raoraliintraoral gold polishing burs, porcelain polishing? DISP: cement (eg RelyX), glass slab, fit checker, accufilm, student polishing kit, concept scrub? GENERAL: LA, wood stick, light tip? TEAM CART: pumice, rubber prophy cup, scope, LA tip MY CART: crown & casts, articulating paper/shimstock, mixing pad, topical, floss wlknot, curing light? GENERAL: BP cuff, safety glasses, mirror; gloves, loupes; cup holder
[PROCEDURE]
Check which teeth occlude and which don't, check both sides
Remove provisional with spoon and throat pack
Anesthetic if needed (most people don't need anesthetic)
Clean off all the cement with scaler and rubber cup/pumice (or use Concept Scrub? Skaggs mentioned it)
EVALUATE/ADJUST CROWN
Don't forget throat gauze, double check orientation of crown 1) Evaluate shade 2) Evaluate proximal contacts (if it's like hammock, polish down, use Accufilm to determine where) 3) Evaluate internal fit (use Fit Checker, look for perforations) 4) Evaluate margins (use pigtail explorer, take BWX) 5) Evaluate occlusion of other teeth (crown in vs crown out: grab shimstock, paper marks same) 6) Evaluate occlusion (use articulating paper, ask pt if it feels high, check centric and excursive) Polish (brown/green/super green Shofu points OR green/white stone, tripolee, rouge)
Alcohol inside of crown with Q tip, dry crown
Microetch if needed (if you used Fit Checker or you need to clean off old cement)
If crown is not satisfactory, make more impressions
CEMENT CROWN
Once again, check contacts, margins, occlusion (if you adjusted a lot)
Clean marks off of adjacent teeth
Pumice tooth, rinse away pumice, isolate/dry with suction & lots of cotton
Assistant mixes cement (3 scoops/drops RelyX, loads cement halfway, gets it all around the margin)
Doctor practices inserting crown to get orientation right, have hemostats ready in case of mis-seat
Insert crown, push hard with froger, pt bites down hard on cotton roll/wood stick, get it seated all the way
Determine if crown is seated all the way: check margins w/explorer, marginal ridge height, occlusion?
If crown is not seated all the way, pull it off right away before the cement dries
If seated ok, have pt bite softly for a few minutes (they don't have to bite hard)
Clean off cement frrst with explorer, not floss yet (cement isn't fully set), wait for full set
Clean off cement with pigtail explorer/floss, use floss with a knot in it for cleaning interproximally
Check contacts, margins, occlusion, ask pt if it feels high, adjust if needed
Have some sort of post-cementation talk

I prefer mount first, teeth might touch better on the articulator MOUNT Trim boat, separate die Check models: bubbles, distal distortion, anterior distortion, regisil bite registration, teeth touch? Stick down model Check articulator: condyle screws tight, pin set at zero, mounting plates down tight Mount (middle of model in middle of articulator, occlusal plane level, make it look believable) Rubber band on articulator, wait 1 hour, afterwards check occlusion with shimstock, remount if bad SECTION & TRIM DIE Section die (perpendicular cuts, avoid pins, avoid margins) Trim die with handpiece and scalpel Mark margin with red wax pencil

PERIO REEVAL APPT How long does it take for gingivitis to heal? 10 days-2 weeks How long does it take for periodontitis to heal? 4 weeks-6 weeks What do we want to happen in that time? Shrinkage of puffy tissue, reattachment oftissue How do we evaluate this? Color, contour, consistency; probing depth, recession, mobility, furcations (usually don't go away), gingival inflammation, plaque, mucogingival defects Where does probe stop in health, gingivitis, periodontitis? Coronal JE, where JE meets CT (gingival fibers), into CT. Collect data Analyze data. Is pt healthy? Healthy pt: Deplaque (at a minimum), put them on maintenance Unhealthy pt a. Signs ofnot healthy: deep pockets, bleeding, inflammation b. Try to figure out why pt isn't healthy. What's causing the disease? OH, immune system, diabetes, overhang, we didn't remove plaque and calculus c. How do you treat it? i. MoreOH ii. Retreat iii. Arrestin or local medicine iv. Compromised maintenance v. Refer How long should it be between maintenance? Chart maturity and mass of subgingival plaque vs time. Draw a line ofthreshold for resumption of disease process. On the average, it reaches threshold at 3 months. There is scientific evidence for 3 months. There is scientific evidence for every 6 months. Start everyone out on 3 months. If they're doing good, bump them up to 4, NOT to 6. Ifthey're doing bad, bump them down to 2 or retreat or something. If they're OK at 3, keep them at 3. 1) 2) 3) 4)
Say infection, not inflammation or disease.
