25 STEPS TO FOLLOW BEFORE & AFTER THE PROCEDURE

Suggestions & comments:

20 Dos & Donts in the Clinic.By Seema Jain


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Throw the indicator strip out of the cassette when you open the cassette. Write down patient's name and procedure on A-8 sheet last page before the morning huddle. Write down patient's name and procedure on the cart paper (tooth# and surfaces: composite or amalgam or any other procedure). And about latex allergy and injections to be given. Patient should NOT LEAVE OP with bib on. (For restroom or radiographs.) Students /operator should NOT WALK OUT OF THE OP with gloves on. Must write down HEALTH HISTORY in the HH sheet (yellow) before proceeding with TX. Patient signs this one & DAS and CDA. Get your instructor's sign on HH sheet BEFORE calling the DDS. Must get DDS signature on Radiograph sheet BEFORE exposing any x-rays. Write patient name and op # on the cup BEFORE you start exposing the radiographs. Dont (never) touch the cup from outside w/ gloves on after exposing x-rays. REMOVE patients glasses before you start exposing radiographs, it can come in the way of x-ray After you are done exposing radiographs place the blue/clear tape on the butcher paper to hint RA that that cart paper/room is contaminated. Remove BWX tabs and leave them on the cart. Students should not write down on the bright pink sheet for ordering the forms. Tell Ms. Stauch or your block instructor and Ms. Sharon (front office) takes care of that. Leave the filled in morning huddle sheet in the chart so that even if you are absent, next day other DAS can use that. Also at the end of the day if you dont see your instructor (busy) the leave rough chart write up in the chart with your, dentist and patients name and procedure before leaving it in instructors folder to approve. DAS who takes over the procedure for the ABSENT DAS must fill the absent sheet for him/her for that day. And also for the next day: Must fill request sheet for that student and also the morning huddle sheet. (Absent student cant do it. Correct?) Don't use saliva ejector, but use HVE when RD is on. RD Punching needs to be confirmed before the application. Get instructor's signature for start-time and finish-time for RD. Don't birex the paper-pad as they become warped (wrinkly) and it becomes difficult to use them later. Just peel off the top sheet which you used. Dont birex your eyewear (use soap and rinse right away). Give goodies to the traditional hygiene (pedo patients) like brush, toothpaste and toy to choose. (Ask for treasure box in the front office.) Don't break down operatory if patient is no show as that op can be used for next procedure. Write down clean op for next day on butcher paper. Mostly you cant set up the op for next day because ops are used for lab for DA and DH classes. Dont fill forms for NP until patient comes. Grade yourself with A/I or S, but not as 5/3 or 1. You MUST have grade sheet for each clinic session (AM and PM clinic each, absent or becoming patient). You will need to have them all on your conference day. IF its new patients HH then write down all the answers to 'yes' on a rough piece of paper and transfer to the chart once instructor approves it. If it is not the first time visit then you can write down RHH< No changes in HH, no new meds, BP, P directly in the chart but remember to leave the left margin properly. Write down patient(s) name(s) on your check-off sheet and take instructor's signature at the end of the day or next day. You have to submit this check-off packet before you go for externship in the last quarter. You will be deducted 15 for each missing check-off, so be proactive and finish your check off when you get the opportunity.

SETTING UP AND CLEANING THE OP PROTOCOL

By: Seema Jain

Bleaching the Bottle Turn-off the unit before taking-off the empty bottle. O is for off. I is for pressure In. You will find 1:10 ratio of bleach solution in each ops cupboard. Put 3-4 oz of bleach solution in water bottle. Swish and let it set for 10 minutes. (During this time you can start setting up your op). Continue later** Setting up the barriers Wash your hands. You shouldnt wear gloves before you start setting up your ops. One chair-side white paper bag Five sleeves: For air/ water tip; saliva ejector; high volume evacuation (HVE) & hs & ss handpieces. One light-cure sleeve: For light-cure machine One light-cure tip cover: For light-cure machine tip Two light handle covers: For overhead light Two blue rubbers: For light toggle button and pen (for delivery table) Five blue barrier films: For chair up/down handles, mouse and x-ray viewing on button One 40 bag: For Patients (Pts) chair Five 30 bags: 2 for DDS and DAS chairs ; 2 for each side of delivery table and 1 for keyboard Cut almost exact size butcher paper (white paper). Take four pieces of masking tape. Open cassette and throw sterile strip away before arranging instruments. Cover it with bib afterwards. **Now Cont.: Empty the bottle. Rinse & fill bottle w/ tap water. Reattach it to the unit and turn the unit ON. If your patient is allergic to iodine then change the iodine straw before placing water bottle. ######################################################################### Cleaning the Op after Finishing the Procedure All the PPEs (lab coat, mask, eye wear, utility gloves/exam gloves) need to be worn for this part. Utility gloves are mandatory for discarding sharps. They can be found in each op or in sterilization room. Discard the needle and carpule (scalpel blade, sharp things etc. but not endo files) in sharps container 1st. Put the syringe and clean forceps in the cassette along with all the instruments. Close cassettes properly, Remove hand pieces (but not the adapters) and take them with bur blocks to the contaminated window. Bring amalgam jar from sterilization room and discard unused amalgam from the amalgam well. *Wash utility gloves, like washing your hands, before putting them away. (Exam gloves or utility gloves are ok for this portion) Remove all barriers starting w/ patients chair bag turned inside out. Place all other barriers in patient chair bag. Misc. items disposed-off in general trash are: articulating paper, floss, and 2x2s. Birex all the reusable items and wipe them w/ 4X4s before putting them back in the drawers. Purging the Unit Turn-off the unit: Find the plastic container in your units cupboard. Empty the water bottle in the container and fill the container w/ 2 liters of tap water. Vac solution is the solution you can find in each units cupboard or get it from sterilization room before cleaning the op at the end of the day. (DO NOT use VAC solution at the end of PM clinic). Put 1 oz. of this solution in the container containing water. (Water goes in 1st) Turn-on unit: Place-back empty water bottle in the unit and turn the water toggle switch on rheostat. Purge the high-speed and air-water syringe UNTIL water stops coming. (Rationale: because biofilm can be formed due to water running through them) Dip the saliva ejector and HVE in the container to suck all of the solution. (Rationale: to clean and disinfect the lines where saliva has passed through) Wipe the counters w/ 4x4 soaked in Birex. Turn-off the unit at the end of cleaning procedure. Patient chair goes all the way up and light touching the chair. Rheostat back in its slot.

Medical alerts must be written in Red on all pages of the chart. If there are no medical alerts, then it should be written in blue or black ink stating the term none. 8. Treatment Plan: Dr. Exam is written down completely filling all columns. Patinet and doctor signs it and then it is scanned into the Eaglesoft as a smart document. 9. If any doctors opinion differs from the TXP, Addedum form is filled and signed and scanned. Addendum must be done with changed / new TXP in addendum section. e.g. MOD was TX planned by one doctor and second doctor says its MO only then addendum will have MO and MOD will be crossed out with written as per Dr. Xyz. 10. Dental Hygiene Care: Is entered directly into the Eaglesoft. 11. FOUR signatures are required on TXP: 1. Student (Print Full Name ), 2. Instructor 3. DDS, 4. patient Progress notes : A rough draft for progress notes must ALWAYS be written on a separate piece of paper first, and then reviewed by your assigned block instructor for correct format and completeness before writing it in the chart as part of the permanent legal record. 12. Writing in blue or black ink is acceptable for progress notes documentation. Green ink is used by hygiene students only for differentiating between restorative and hygiene care. 13. Correct spelling is essential. Dictionaries are provided in the clinic for your reference. 14. If you wrote down something wrong then cross out w/ single line so that it is still legible and initial the entry with your name. 15. THREE signatures are required on progress notes: 1. Student (Print Full Name), 2. Instructor, 3. Doctor on final written progress notes in the patients chart. The instructor and dentists name should be printed outside the right margin. The chart can then always find its way back to the instructor and dentist for his/her signature. 16. If DDS sign is/are missing on TXP / HH sheet then leave sticky note hanging out of chart. 17. Superbill: Digital superbill is needs to be filled in its entirety. Make sure that Treatment Accepted is the same as what you completed that day. If there is any change (e.g. #18 MO was accepted but

11

you did #18 MOD) then make sure that reflects in the TXP. Also the addendum has to be signed and given to the front office personnel. 18. Before walking the patient out you have to right click and edit the TX by checking the condition no longer exists box. Then changing the completed TX to Walk-out. 19. Also change the next treatment to accepted from proposed. You can see which treatment is next from smart docs. 20. Notes about new changes:
*CC EO IO GD TC Chief Concern-reason for seeking treatment. Extra-Oral Examination-note any changes at each appointment. Intra-Oral Examination-note any changes at each appointment. Gingival Description-note all changes at each appointment. Tooth Chart-note any existing conditions and needs at initial exam, update as needed.

STEPS FOR APPLYING SEALANTS By: Seema Jain 1. Make sure you get the sealant tip (thinner) and syringe (Not flowable ones) when setting up for sealant. 2. Clean all the surfaces: O, B & L w/ prophy brush & water only. No prophy paste. 3. Hang/ place saliva ejector on the opposite side and leave it there till the end. 4. Isolate with dry angle on Buccal side to cover the parotid gland. 5. Isolate with cotton rolls on Lingual side. (Lingual cotton roll is necessary for any arch.) 6. Place and leave the floss in interproximal area (if youll be sealing two adjacent teeth). You will pull this floss just before light curing the sealant. 7. Place bite block on the opposite side OR place bubble on the same side. 8. Dry the tooth and etch for 15-30 seconds. 9. Rinse for 30 seconds. (Air & Water together). 10. Suck most the water from the cotton rolls w/ HVE before drying. Re-isolate with new cotton rolls/dry angle if needed. 11. Dry for 20 seconds and look for frosty white enamel. (Have instructor check). 12. Apply single bond and thin with air. (No need to light cure at this point.) 13. Apply sealant material from mesial to distal and cover B & L grooves also. 14. Dab & Drag microbrush gently on pits and grooves to remove excess sealant material. 15. Pull the earlier placed floss up/down from interproximal area before light curing. (if adjacent teeth are being sealed) 16. Light cure for 20 seconds. 17. Check for glossy feel with explorer while tooth is still isolated, add only sealant material if you feel clicks. (If isolation was compromised start all over from etching step.) 18. Remove the isolation and ask the patient if the bite is normal. If not, only then use the articulating paper to check for high spots and adjust accordingly BEFORE proceeding to the opposite side or before sending the patient home. 19. Adjust high spots BEFORE proceeding to the opposite side. 20. Floss and rinse before sending the patient home.

POST OP INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PATIENT 1. After surgery, you may be given a prescription for pain. Have it filled and follow the directions. 2. We will give you gauze to bite down on to help form a blood clot. Keep pressure on the site for at least one-half hour. 3. Avoid rinsing, spitting, sucking through a straw or smoking for 48 hours after surgery, since this can break up and dislodge the clot causing a dry socket which is very painful. 4. Should you experience any unusual bleeding, pain, or foul odor in your mouth, call our office immediately. 5. 24 hours after surgery you can rinse with warm salt water to help promote healing. 6. Continue to maintain good oral hygiene, brushing the surrounding teeth gently yet thoroughly. 7. Keep activity level to a minimum the day of your surgery. (No exercise, heavy housework, or lifting) 8. Maintain a nutritious diet. Avoid hard/rigid foods like nuts, popcorn, and chips, etc. 9. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, but NOT through a straw. 10.Dont be alarmed if after the surgery you begin to swell. Apply an ice bag or cold towel to the area

MOLAR BWX PREMOLAR BWX nd Which teeth you should Molars and distal of 2 PreMolars and distal of canine seen in the radiograph: premolar (not 1st PM) Most common Operator Most commonly: we miss Most commonly: we miss mesial of 1st errors: Distal of 3rd / 2nd molar. PM/ D of canine. How to fix the error: Ignore the 1st molar and try Think about canine too although you rd st to get 3 molar/area. 1 are taking premolar x-ray. Because molar can always be seen in only then you will be able to get M of rd the premolar x-ray but 3 1st premolar. molar you cant see anywhere else if you miss it. Placement of BWX The tab should be placed on The tab should be placed on the both plates in the mouth: the second molar. the premolars. (hide the premolars under the tab.) Mesial of the tab should be touching the distal canine. Positioning patients Occlusal plane parallel to the Occlusal plane parallel to the floor. head: floor. (chin down) (chin down) Alignment of PID: Outer canthus of R/L eye Inner canthus of R/L eye Dont talk about gagging; pt. thinks about it and gags. Distract the patient w/ small talk. Solution for taking x-rays on gaggers: Gag: Try to take all radiographs on the arch opposite from where the patient is experiencing the urge to gag. (Mostly soft palate gag reflex area) but keep track of the x-rays you are taking because you are taking out of sequence. Moderate Gagger: 1st try with salt: Give salt to pt. in a dappen dish; have pt. lick it. (Salt is in the cart in the bottom drawer outside pano room.) Extreme gagger: Spray topical on the roof of the mouth. (It is kept in the cart in the bottom drawer outside pano room.) For Pts. With Partial/s: Put Cotton Roll/s where there are missing teeth to create the height of the missing tooth/teeth. Keep the partial in the mouth when taking PAs on the side opposite to the partial. Remove RPD when taking PAs on the same side. (Metal can interfere with the diagnostic quality) ALWAYS Remove the partials for BWX. PRIORITY FOR DAS/DHS FOR TAKING RADIOGRAPHS

Seema Jain

Run the cleaning film through the ScanX machine on the 1st clinic day back each month. Turn on the ScanX machine. You can see the power (ready) button on the display panel. Turn on the computer (CPU). Logon in to Eaglesoft. Turn on the lights of all the X-ray rooms. Keep the trash can near to you where you will be opening the plates in dim (pano) room. Keep one piece of butcher paper in the dim (pano) room for opening the plates from the cup. Turn- on the x-ray machines and make sure they are set to 25. (except for E-104B) Prep the rooms by putting plastic barriers on tube heads and chairs in each room. There should be three butcher papers on each cart for each room. Dont keep on adding the butcher paper to carts, just use from the other carts so that you dont waste paper towards the end of day. 9. Put blue/transparent plastic sticky tape on the exposure buttons. 10. Dispense plates and film holders (RINNs) according to patient needs. 11. Check that all the plates are barriered: #0, #1, #2 (put BW tabs on a few plates for H & V BWX ). 12. Turn on 1 traditional x-ray processor (if needed). Instructions are in the developing room. 13. In your down time: Make barriers as needed. Spray your hands with alcohol and let them dry before putting the plates in the barriers as they are being erased. Keep in mind the infection control protocol. RA duties: End of the Day 1. Log-off from the Eaglesoft software by clicking on log-off icon or from dropdown list from file. 2. Shut-down the computer by clicking start menu and choosing shut down. 3. Turn off the ScanX machine. You can see the power press button on the left of the display panel. 4. There should not be any barriers left on the carts. 5. Turn off the lights of all the X-ray rooms. Turn- off all the x-ray machines. 6. Place the tube heads against the wall with the tube head facing down towards the floor. 7. Throw the butcher paper away from the dim (pano) room which was used for opening the plates. 8. Keep the trash can outside the dim (pano) room. 9. Keep the transfer boxes and plate packet boxes inside the cart. 10. At the end of clinic make sure all of the x-ray and dark rooms are stocked with gloves and masks. 11. Turn off the traditional x-ray processor. Instructions are in the developing room. 12. Once a WEEK (end of week): Wipe with Birex 4X4: all of the transfer boxes, tube heads, arms, lead apron, carts, and the counters in the dim room. Arrange the radiology lab cart (Dexter RINNS) too. 13. Self-evaluate yourself by filling the daily evaluation / grade sheet. OPENING THE PHOSPHOR PLATE HANDLE THE PLATES GENTLY Open the box 1st for dropping the plates in & turn off the lights. Dump the plates on the paper towel to wipe the saliva. Put on the gloves and open the plates. Hold the plate vertically w/ the writing side up. Hold the plate so that the opening notch is away from you (hold the dot w/ your L-hand). Gently rip the notch & Pull ONLY the right hand side notch towards you with your R-hand. Without touching w/ your gloves wiggle the plate out in the box.

DUPLICATING THE RADIOGRAPHS Basic concept: Original film towards the light source, Pimples of both (original & dup) films towards light source . Rationale: The light has to pass THROUGH the ORIGINAL to cast shadow of image (teeth) onto the dup. film. For duplicating traditional radiographs in the duplicating machine: 1. Open and set the ORIGINAL FILM (size 1 or 2) on top of the machine with pimple down (light for duplicating coming from bottom). Room light can be on for this step. 2. Set dup time 15 sec. Turn off the room light and place dup. film on top of original film with pimple facing down. (*pimple in dimple like spoon in spoon) Or For FMX: Take (pano size) dup. film from sterilization room. Go to dark room. Set the FMX on the dup machine, pimples facing down and turn-off the light and feel zig zag teeth of the dup. film in dark. & place it on top of original FMX with teeth like notches on top right side of machine. * 3. Close the lid and press the duplicating button on the machine and then press timer button * if dup. comes out lighter then to get darker dup. reduce the time by 10 seconds or vice versa. 4. While room light is still off, open lid of machine and feed film in processor. 5. Write down patients first and last name on the coin/manila envelope with the date when the original radiograph was/were taken. IF DUPLICATING MACHINE IS NOT WORKING Use the normal room (ceiling) light for duplicating. Just reverse the process. 1st Turn-off the light in the dark-room. Open and set the dup film on the counter with pimple up and place original on top pimple facing up. (*dimple in pimple like spoon in spoon). For FMX set: Turn-off the light and place pano size dup film on the counter with teeth on top left and then place the FMX facing up (pimples up) on top of dup film. Turn-on the room light for 30 seconds. (Need wrist watch or stop clock or count yourself.) and turn-off the room light again. Feed the film in the processor in dark. Write down patients first and last name on the coin envelop and the date when the original radiograph was taken. Films w/ raised dots down
Pimple (raised dot) ALWAYS goes towards the light source (which is coming from bottom in this case.)

Operation of the Panoramic X-Ray Machine


*Kodak Film for traditional style panoramic (kept in sterilization room in the plastic drawer). Color & size of Pano box is almost same as duplicating box, so make sure to check that before taking it to dark room. ** Digital Plate for digital style panoramic (kept inside the cassette or in pano room) (@ LWIT dental clinic we take digital pano). Can be emailed to another dentist after release form signed and kept in patients chart. *** Have x-ray release form signed (front office) if pano needs to be sent/ email to another DDS **** You do not need to put on gloves for taking pano. (not dealing with saliva). 1. Load film in cassette in the dark room/ or plate in the dim room. 2. Turn on machine. (follow instruction of the message display). 3. Load cassette into carriage. 4. Make patient size selection (mostly medium size is set by default). 5. Press reset key (in front of the patient is recommended so that patient sees how machine rotates). 6. Place barrier (light handle barrier) over the bite guide. 7. Have patient remove all jewelry, dentures, partials, and glasses. (offer cup to put jewelry etc.) 8. Put lead apron on the patient. (Do not pull it up too much towards the chin: error lead shadow). 9. Move forehead support (labeled 1) completely towards the mirror and fully open the forehead support ( labeled 2). 10. Move the overhead carriage to the proper height for the patient. (press up or down button) 11. Have the patient grasp the handles on either side for stability. Have the patient step forward slightly. Toes must be on blue tape on floor. Have the patient stand as straight as possible (neck fully extended). 12. Have the patient bite on this guide so that the incisors are resting in the notch. (show beforehand) 13. Turn on the positioning lights. (bulb icon) (if light turns off during positioning press it again). 14. Check that the vertical light is centered on the patients mid-sagittal plane. Gently turn the patients head to align or patient can do this him/herself by looking into the mirror. 15. Position the patient head until Frankfort plane (ala-tragus line) is parallel to the floor. (Ask patient to bring forehead forward or you bring the overhead carriage little bit down. Neck must be extended). 16. Center the lateral light (canine eminence) on the cuspid (Ask the patient to smile to see cuspid). 17. Adjust the forehead support (1 & 2) to secure the patients established head position. 18. Instruct patient to swallow and keep tip of the tongue to the roof of the mouth (palate) and lips closed until machine stops. 19. Activate exposure switch which is outside the room (press & hold it down the entire time machine rotates around the patients head). 20. After exposure, have patient move back. 21. Remove lead apron and return denture / partial / jewelry etc. 22. Remove cassette. 23. If digital pano: 1st select patient name in Eaglesoft and panoramic template acquire start and feed plate into ScanX machine without taking the #1 or #2 guides out, white side away from you by gently pushing down. After the plate falls down, put it back in the cassette and load the cassette in pano machine ready for the next patient. If traditional film: In the dark room and feed the film through the developing machine (in dark).

20 STEPS TO FOLLOW AT THE END OF THE DAY/PROCEDURE By Seema Jain Give a thorough rinse to the patient and remove the patient bib. Apply Vaseline on patients lips and show him/her the result of the visit (filling, crown etc.) Remove the exam gloves and fill the superbill with the TXT and TXN, DAS Sign and write Dr.s name and get instructors signature. Also highlight TXT pink and TXN yellow in the patients chart BEFORE discharging the patient. Walk the patient to the front office and have the front office assistant schedule for the next appointment. Put on the overgloves (thin transparent) and utility gloves (thick colored) on top of overgloves. These will remain on your hands UNTIL it is time to keep the birexed things back into the drawers. (Refer to Cleaning the op protocol ) Collect all the stuff which needs to be kept back into the drawers e.g. cements, single bond, gluma, snoop etc. from the contaminated delivery tray and birex them onto a clean cart/tray and let them air-dry. (DONT birex the paper pad, because it will soak up the Birex and become wrinkled. Just remove the top paper carefully without touching the lower paper.) Complete the cassettes by counting the instruments (procedure cassette and rubber dam cassette). Dont forget to put back the clean forceps in the cassette. Remove the articulating paper from the forceps, and floss from the clamps and the bite block before putting them back into the cassettes. Remove the high-speed & slow speed hand pieces and the motor from the unit. Take the cassettes, high-speed & slow speed hand pieces and bur blocks back to the contaminated windows. (Refer to clinic protocol sheet for cleaning the op after finishing the procedure) Come back to your op and switch the master button and bottle button OFF. Take out the empty bottle, yellow/pink solution vacusol and the plastic container out from the side cupboard. Empty the water from the units bottle into the container and replace the second bottle to the unit and switch the master and bottle button ON. Fill the container with tap water to level # 3 and pour one cap (top portion) full of yellow/pink solution into this filled container. Suck all the solution from the container by dipping the saliva ejector and the HVE into the solution. (These two suck the saliva from the patients mouth during the procedure thats why these need to be cleaned after each procedure.) Now bring the button towards the red/blue dot on the rheostat. (i.e. water button on rheostat is on On position) Purge the HIGH SPEED HAND PIECE & AIR WATER TIP by pressing onto the rheostat), into the sink or trash can UNTIL water stops coming from the air-water tip & high-speed hand piece. It might take 1-2 minutes. Rationale: Purging is done to avoid the building of the biofilm or to keep the biofilm to its minimum. Come back the remove all the barriers by inverting the patient chair bag and putting all the contaminated barriers in this bag. Put this plastic bag into the trash compactor and rotate the start button. Remove the gloves and wash your hands and put the birexed things back into the drawers. (Wipe them with 4x4 if not air-dried by now.) Grade yourself for the day.

TREATMENT PLAN CLASSIFICATION (on TXP sheet) 1. The student gathers all pertinent information and radiographs and presents it to the dentist. 2. The dentist formulates the treatment plan, determines the sequence of treatment, as well as the restoration class (i.e., if the procedure is to be done in the Restorative Clinic I, Restorative Hygiene or Teddy Bear Chairs, and the difficulty level AA, A, B, or C). 3. The student fills out a new treatment plan form. A new treatment plan form is completed at each continuing care interval. Do not add treatment from the previous treatment plan continuing care intervals. 4. The treatment plan should also list referrals and watches. 5. Digital: TXT on Eaglesoft is Proposed before you start the TX and status changes to completed after front office charges the patient at walk-out time. 6. The student presents the treatment plan to the patient/parent. The patient/parent signs the Dental Hygiene Care and Restorative Care sections of the treatment plan form first followed by the student signatures 7. The dentist and block instructor then review and sign the treatment plan. In case of emergency patients, the dentist may opt to list only emergency care (and possibly dental hygiene care). In this case signatures are required in the appropriate section(s). Classification System for Restorations for DHS to finish Hygiene Restorative Clinic All Quarters AA - sealants, PRR, small pit & fissures [Class I ] some [V & VI] A - small, conservative preps not deep [Class I IV] nd 2 Quarter of 2nd Year B - moderate is size [Class I IV] C - larger in size; may be deep enough to require base; no pulp proximity Restorative Clinic (DDS does these) R - to be done in restorative clinic by dentist only.DDS; large, deep preps that may involve pulp; undermined cusps, anything requiring pins or post (New DAS class: Spr & Fall) Junior DAS gets Doctors exam done after senior DAS take their (Jr. DAS) FMX (by end of qtr). Summary for all the dental work to be done on Jr. DAS will be typed on a sheet in the pano room. DHS can refer to this sheet for DAS to be a patient for their quarterly requirement. Write with pencil your name next to the TX so that other DHS knows. Also write down the DAS name on the sign-up calendar for the schedule treatment day. ONLY one DAS can be patient/day. DHS: You can take few molars for sealants but leave premolars for DAS. ONLY one DAS can become your patient only if his/her rotation is covered. Dont ask ST/CA/OA/RA to become a patient. Rotations will be placed in pano room. Cross out the tooth after TXT completed from the summary sheet. DAS: BEFORE you commit to the DHS to become his/her patient, get approval from your block instructor. You cant become a patient until your rotation is covered by anyone from your class. And Fill A-7 sheet for the day even if you are a patient.

(Golden band) ################################################################### **When inserting the carpule inside the syringe make sure that the bar code is seen from the smaller BARREL window of the syringe (NOT towards the bigger window because operator has to see the amount of anesthetic being administered). **(Engage the harpoon BEFORE placing the needle, so that the anesthetic do not leak while engaging). After putting the carpule in syringe, engage the syringe by tapping FIRMLY with your palm 2-3 times. ALWAYS CHECK engagement BY PULLING PLUNGER (Thumb) OUT. **When passing the syringe to DHS have the bigger window towards the thumb direction (up or down). Injections are administered with bigger barrel window always facing up (max. or mandibular arch). **Have needle protector writing side towards DHS so that operator can cap needle easily. **ALWAYS engage the syringe. Esp. placing 2nd carpule. If you dont engage the syringe and DHS has penetrated the site, negative aspiration will not happen and DHS will have to come out and reinsert the needle. Ouch!!

UNIVERSAL NUMBERING SYSTEM: FOR ALL TYPES OF DENTITIONS Get your PI card ready before the patient arrives.

For Patients less than 12 years old: Insert Mixed dentition TC (pink) form in the chart on top of the adult TC form

Recognizing mixed dentition If you start counting from UR molars then it can be confusing. Counting MIXED
dentition from the mid line would be less confusing. You count the teeth from midline in one quadrant. Mostly R and L quadrant have same # of teeth (mirror image) If 5 teeth/ qdrt then all primary teeth. If 6 teeth/qdrt then permanent 1st molars are erupted. #3,14,19,30 If 7 teeth/qdrt then permanent 1st & 2nd molars are erupted. #2, 15, 18, 31 Start recognizing each tooth from midline. (It is very important to count permanent molars properly because those are sealed quite often. ) Mixed Dentition age is usually from 6-12 yearsit can vary. So if patient is younger than 6 yr then probably all primary teeth # A-T. 1st: Central Incisal: Mamelons & yellower. If you see mamelons then those teeth are newly erupted permanent central incisors, yellower than adjacent baby teeth. Circle 8, 9 & 24, 25 on PI card. Parents get worried about yellowness but let them know to wait until all permanent teeth erupt. 2nd: Lat. Incisor: mamelons on the lateral incisors too then circle 7, 10 & 23, 26. 3rd: Canines: whiter, are usually the last ones to erupt so canine would be primary C, H, M, R (*CHaRM) 4th & 5th : Molar or Premolar 1st & 2nd Primary molar: B, A: Will be wider occlusally and will look worn down. (Probably have amalgam fillings or SS crowns). : Looking at BWX help to see if Premolars are erupting or erupted Also checking clinically. 1st & 2nd Permanent premolar: 5, 4: Will look newer, w/ two sharper cusps. Radiographs will clearly show premolars erupting between primary molar roots. 6th & 7th : have to be permanent teeth. >5 teeth/qdrt Permanent 1st & 2nd Molar: 2, 3
