February 22nd, 2007

  • Today I was being supervised by Robin. She got me to do clean her instruments, and clean her clinic as she was watching me carefully, to make sure that I was following procedure. Every now and then I would forget how to do certain things, but she was always there to guide me to the write place. She also got me to set up her trays for her next patient. Which was kind of tricky because, she likes her tray a certain way.
  • Once there was less patient she taught me how there Xray machine worked, and told me a little history about it. At the co op placement where I was, they have 3 Xray, one which was the digital one, the manual, and another one that shows the whole mouth of the patient.
  • Robin has taught me the abreviation that her and Dr. Delisimunovic would use to say which tooth they are talking about. She told me that our mouth is divided into 4 quadrants. The top left is quadrant one, the top right is quadrant two, the bottom right is quadrant three and the bottom left is quadrant four. In each quadrant there are approximately 8 teeth, but it may vary by patient.
