Today I had a pt who has been smoking for 13 years. I was hoping for perio., but she was a 1B. It went really well. I didn't miss any spots and got done pretty fast. The staining was hard to get completely off, but my instructor showed me a trick to getting it off in some areas. It was the worst on the mandibular anterior linguals. She had a lot of calculus in that area too, but not much posterior calculus.
