Today's clinic was very interesting I had a patient that was only 16 years old and from China. I went through everything and called for an OD check one of the TAs declared her a class 1B and a scaled and got all of the supra calculus. When I called for a scale check Prof. M came over to do the scale check and she said that she should have been a class 2. As is turns out she had a rim of calculus under her tissue that needed to be removed. I used the ultrasonic scaler to remove it. It was my first time using the ultrasonic and with how much calculus there was it was a little bit challanging but it went well. I was happy to have another class 2 and have the experience with the ultrasonic.
