Wow lots of information that we have been taking in these last few weeks! Today I passed off probing. I have never been so scared to pass off a PE. Luckily, I was within 1 millimeters on all my quadrant. It took me thirty minutes but I did it. I'm really thinking of getting loupes! Today we used our Universal Curet. It is exciting to start using instruments, but alot harder then it looks. We used the Barnhart and Columbia. I had the hardest time using my wrist and not my fingers. I did not get as much time to practice as I would have liked. I'm going to go home and practice exploring, probing, and using a universal curet on my typodont. We also learned to treatment plan using Eaglesoft. I have used dentrix for two years so that made it a little easier to understand even though they are quite different.
