Pretty Blue Eyes

My VA patient was beautiful.  Especially his Class III dentition ;)  When Prof. Bossenberger told me that two quadrants were Class III and two were Class II I somehow thought I should be able to finish the patient in one day...I dont know why I thought that.  That's ridiculous.  Anyway, I started by cleaning his upper and lower right and decided at that point that I didnt want to continue any farther.  I think I took on more than I should.  Only clean one quad of a Class III at a time.   I knew that, but forgot that.  I missed a lot of the interproximals, and didnt really have time to get help on how to access them better.  Bahhumbug.  Next time I will allow myself more time on a class III.  My afternoon patient cancelled so I ended up having to CA.  Bah.  Today, I saw a patient who, in times past, has been considered a class III and mostly a class IV.  Instructor Perry helped me to see why this patient, in general, would really only be considered a Class II.  I understood his logic and wouldnt have wanted my patient to be charged for anything more than a Class to SRP in real life, but he had some extremely deep pockets along 10,11,and 18 (18 was 11mm!!!) and I definitely think that for my efforts, this patient should be considered AT LEAST a Class III for the effort.  It is going to be rough!  Gosh, I need this week to end.  Ive taken on far more than I can chew and Im exhausted and discouraged.
