Treatment Plan OHI: Modified Bass technique Flossing instructions: using the “C” method of wrapping the floss around each tooth. Interdental Aids: Proxybrush for open contacts. Tongue scraper: Coated tongue. Flouride tx: 2% sodium fluoride for 4 minutes. Full–mouth scale Re-Evaluation 3-4 weeks, to reassess the OH, to assess improvement, and new problems, and to evaluate the frequency of follow-up with dental hygiene appointment.

Nutritional Recommendations PT should exercise 30 minutes (suggestion). PT should drink more water instead of coffee and bottled coffee flavored beverages. Nutritional Counseling: Patient needs to consume more wholesome foods. Such as milk products, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low fat meats.

Re-evaluation Visit Gingiva: Generalized pink, firm, and stippled Probings: Generalized 2-3mm (localized 5mm decreased 1mm). PI: 39% PFI: 61% MBI: 0% WLAC Calculus Code: Light 1 OHI: Modified Bass technique, C-fold flossing technique, with interproximal cleaning aids (proxybrush). Nutritional recommendation: Based on patient’s data.

Cambra The patient is considered a high risk patient because the patient has a history of restorations within a three year period. Cambra recommends high risk patients to brush twice a day with a toothpaste containing 1.1% NaF. Use a 0.2% NaF mouthrinse daily. 3-4 month recall to evaluate caries risk and apply flouride varnish. Saliva test and bacterial culture. Chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% (10ml). Xylitol gum (6-10g daily). Two tabs a gum four times a day. Use MI paste twice a day.

What would I have done differently? Premedication is a must for patients with coarctation of the aorta according to the American Heart Association. Try to manage clinic time accordingly. My patient left on a two week vacation that prolonged the treatment plan. Overall time management needs improvement.
