Here is what I learned today...
No matter how much you trust a patient, you need to call them to confirm that they are coming the night before. I forgot to call my patient last night and she didn't show up this morning.
I feel bad because she is a really nice lady.
Here is what I've been going over in my head as I study for boards:
Slight periodontitis - 1-2 mm of bone loss
Moderate periodontitis - 2-4 mm of bone loss
Severe Periodontitis - 5 and above mm of bone loss
Regardless of probe depths.
