What up mockboards! Today was mockboards and it was quite an adventure. I passed with a 76...by one point...awesome. I like livin' on the edge though so it's cool. I'm still proud of myself though because my patient had a ridiculous amount of calculus on almost every surface with extremely tight tissue. Her calculus was also the most tenacious thing I've ever beheld! What the heck...not cool. It wasn't until I busted out the good ol' perio files and basically instrumented with them the rest of the time that I made any improvement. I knew she had some spots still left, but I completely ran out of time so I had no choice but to be done. I also had a couple of tissue trauma errors that reamed me, but all in all it was a really good experience for me. I think it's good for at least one mockboard to put us in our place. At least my probing was practically perfect in every way. I would really like to use this patient for the real boards, but I am just nervous because of how tenacious her deposit is. I think I would do a lot better though now that I know what her calculus is like and what it takes to get it off.
