My title sounds like a quote from Batman...haha. Kay, its really not funny.
Ada returned today for the rest of her cleaning. I was initially nervous that I wouldnt be able to complete three quads of her class III dentition in one appt for a variety of reasons.
1. Sometimes cleaning one quad of a Class III can take one hour for a very experienced practitioner.
2. I didn't want to anesthetize bilaterally.
3. She needed NO2, and LA, and those take time as well.
I was happy to find that I did have sufficient time and that I was able to clean one quadrant without anesthesia, which was the best scenerio I could have asked for.
I passed off my nitrous PE. I remembered that oxygens international color is green, even though in my head it should be blue...like the sky. Oh well. I accurately titrated the ratio of oxygen to nitrous and remembered to start at 1 lpm of nitrous to 5 lpm of oxygen.
Ada was wonderful and I look forward to having her back next semester.
I always have to clarify the colors in my head too. I tell my self that oxygen makes plants grow so that's why it green. It really should be the other way around!
