A great Class V day

6 quads of class V, that's it for me today. 6 very uneventful quads that were easy and smooth as usual. The kind of quads where you spend more time waiting for dentist and professors to come and evaluate than you spend actually scaling and polishing. Oh well, it was a nice relaxing day to start the week out with since yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I did get to clean 2 partial dentures, and that was fun, the upper denture actually had some calculus that I got to scale off (which was more than I found in the actual remaining teeth.) Luckily the patients here at the VA are so nice and interesting to work on. I really do enjoy working out here where it feels like I'm actually a semi-autonomous clinician and I can provide my patients with the best treatment possible without really fretting about cost or insurance or anything like that.

I was able to place arestin and periochip and take a pano and 4BWX in the morning and then I took 7 anterior PA's in the afternoon which was really good for me to practice. Not to mention the 70 PA's that are required of us this year!
