Today was more of a layed back day. I just had to finish 3 quads on a 1B patient. My goal was to finish that, and atleast the anterior and universal PE. I need to adapt more then I think and continue using indirect vision. I also passed off the intraoral PE. That one is pretty easy to set up and everything I just had a hard time getting the right angle to get the picture I wanted. I learned that you should try and center the picture you are trying to get. My patient had quite a few feelings so when I was scaling I had a hard time distinguising that from calculus. I know that it is just experience that will help me recognize these. My goals this next week is to finish a full mouth series of x-rays with the schick and do a pano. I need to focus a little more on my radiology requirements. Overall, today was very productive!
