Rotation 1

2/16/2020

Going into my final semester of dental hygiene school, I feel like I have been off to a good start. A strength of

mine is remaining strong with my time management. I have had several two patient days and I am able to identify

patients who would be ideal to complete two patient days in a timely manner. Another strength of mine during this past

rotation would be calculus removal on anterior teeth. Last semester, this was a difficult task for me. I have really worked

hard to focus on complete calculus removal on anterior teeth this semester and I have had minimal areas of missed

calculus in the anterior.

An opportunity for growth would be to check for complete calculus removal at all the contact areas on posterior

teeth. I can work on this by exploring in the interproximal area more than I currently am to be sure of complete removal.

Another opportunity of growth continues to be my ergonomics. I have an especially difficult time at front position while

working on anterior teeth. I have worked with Ms. Ross on this and am trying to become more cognizant of keeping a

neutral wrist. I can also have my patient move their head more to where I need them.

My first goal that I would like to work on over the next several weeks would be to slow down on my final

exploring so I do not have missed calculus at the contact area. My next several clinic days I only have one patient per

day. This will allow me to explore thoroughly to check those areas. I anticipate no missed calculus at contact areas within

9 clinic days.

My second goal for the next rotation would be to select different instruments that I may not necessarily be

comfortable using to remove calculus in a difficult area. I typically stick with the same instruments while I am scaling. I

would like to utilize other instruments to see how they might work in different areas. Last week, I had a patient with a

lingual wire. I have not had many patients with lingual wires, so I attempted using a different instrument that I would

normally use on the mandibular anterior to removal the calculus just below the wire. This type of goal may be a case by

case basis on achieving. However, over my next rotation I will be aware of branching out to other instruments.

One of my prior rotations goals was to sit in front position while scaling maxillary anterior lingual surfaces

towards me. I have utilized this position several times over the last 5 weeks. I have found that I am effective in this

position for teeth 9-11, and I still have difficulty on teeth 6-8. However, I have begun switching my working ends of the

Nevi 1/2 while sitting in back position. Doing this has allowed me to remove all calculus on these surfaces without tissue

trauma. I still try front position to keep it in mind and see what I am most comfortable with.

Another goal I had from my last rotation was complete calculus removal around all line angels. I feel like I have

been successful with this goal over the past several weeks. I have worked to make sure that I have overlapping strokes

as I am rotating around the line angle. As I move the instrument from distal to mesial, I am more aware of the

overlapping strokes again. This has helped me make sure that I am covering the line angles as I am scaling.

Amber Carey 4/1/2020Ms. GroverClinical Dental Hygiene

The past several weeks have been rather disappointing without being in clinic to see patients. I never thought

how much I would miss being in clinic after being away for 3 weeks now. I have had a limited number of days in this

clinic rotation. One strength of mine during my time in this rotation would be administering anesthesia. I enjoy

administering anesthesia and being able to make the patient as comfortable as possible while doing it. I had given

several injections during my short time in this rotation in clinic and during my offsite rotation. Each time my patient had

experienced profound anesthesia and did not say they were uncomfortable. Being able to deliver profound anesthesia

during my time in school gives me confidence for administering profound anesthesia after I graduate.

Another strength of mine during this rotation would be my final exploring. This was a goal of mine to work on

from last rotation. I dedicated more time to final explore before scale checks and I think it helped. I missed minimal

areas of calculus, and often times felt like something was left over. Taking the time to do a final explore has benefited

my patients.

An opportunity for growth continues to be my ergonomics. Since we have been away from clinic for several

weeks now, it will be crucial for me to maintain good ergonomics when we begin clinic again. I want to thrive in this

career for many years to come, and I know that good ergonomics will help make my goal a reality. Another opportunity

for growth would be to slow down and take my time with tenacious calculus. A patient during and offsite had very

tenacious calculus. I used the ultrasonic on a quadrant. When I went back to explore, all the calculus was still there. I

was discouraged and on a time crunch as the next patient would be there shortly. I realize that I really need to slow

down with my ultrasonic and continue to tap away at the calculus until complete removal of one tooth. I can also

explore different tips for the ultrasonic such as the beavertail.

My overall goal for my final rotation in dental hygiene school is to return to clinic and work hard on pulling all

aspects of dental hygiene together. This includes ergonomics, instrumentation, diagnoses, and more. I want to make

sure that I am prepared enough to enter the workforce as a clinician when I graduate from school. My first SMART goal

for this rotation would be to slow down with my ultrasonic, especially during IPT. By doing this I will allow for adequate

and complete calculus removal. I will work on one tooth at a time and then move to the next tooth. I will focus on

remaining patient and continue to tap at the calculus until removed, without burnishing it. I will make it my goal to

achieve this by the end of my first two IPT patients back in clinic, and certainly before clinical boards.

My second goal of my final rotation continues to be my ergonomics. I continue to make this a goal because it is

something I can always improve on. My last rotation I worked more on keeping my wrist straight during front position

on anterior teeth. For my next rotation, I would like to continue to focus on my wrist, but also work on my left head tilt,

as well as not leaning over and putting more weight on my right hip. I think if I bring the height of my chair down slightly,

I will reduce the amount of weight I put on my right hip. I will continue to focus on my ergonomics and try to have the

head tilt and my lean improved during the first week back in clinic.

Looking at my previous rotation’s goals, I think I have improved in the short time into my second rotation. I have

dedicated more time to a final explore to check for any missed calculus. A problem area where I had continual missed

calculus in my first rotation was the distal of the mandibular 1st premolars near the contact area. During this rotation I

was sure to focus on a final explore and that specific area. I do not think I had missed any calculus in that area during this

rotation.

Another goal from last rotation was to work on using the different instruments. I did explore using different

instruments for different scenarios. I think my critical thinking skills are tuning up this aspect of dental hygiene for me. I

used my s204 for healthy tissue and tight contacts. I used my Barnhardt 5/6 on a patient with gingivitis. Both of these

universal instruments worked well for me and helped reduce my scaling time. I have learned to use the Nevi on

posterior as well as anterior and have become comfortable about knowing when I need to flip my working end. I believe

I even used my SMO one time on a crowded anterior tooth. I am excited to learn additional instruments in the

workforce, and I feel that knowing my current set of instruments well will help me adapt to new instruments in the

future.

With the current uncertainty of our clinic schedule, it is hard to feel confidant about my skills when the time

comes to return to seeing patients. I will expect some muscle memory to kick in a little bit, but I will also be working on

reviewing techniques. It is hard to believe that our final semester as dental hygiene students is about to come to an end.

I am excited to be able to finish our final semester strong and pass the clinical board with flying colors.
