Documentation

For comprehensive clinical examinations,

thorough, accurate, and complete documentation

is essential.

1. Radiographic survey to include:

– Initial FMX (originals, if possible—

they will be returned);

– Initial panoramic x-rays;

– radiographs of treatment in progress

and/or completed case;

– CT scan/tomographs, if appropriate.

2. Periodontal charting:

– probing depth readings on six

surfaces of every tooth;

– tooth mobilities (0 to Class III-Miller);

– furcation involvement

(0 to Class III-Clickman);

– gingival line;

– missing and impacted teeth.

3. Restorative blueprint:

– missing teeth;

– laminate veneers;

– individual and splinted crowns;

– individual and splinted implants.

4. 35 mm slides:

Please review present and past issues,

as they will act as a guide to what is

suggested:

– facial/smile line;

– maxillary/mandibular anteriors

(canine to canine in maximum

intercuspation);

– maxillary/mandibular right and left

posterior teeth (in maximum

intercuspation);

– lingual and palatal views—

all appropriate areas;

– occlusal views—maxillary and

mandibular full arches.
