Back to school

Well I guess it's time to get back in the swing of things, whether I like it or not! I am actually anxious to get back into a routine. I had a very relaxing break and it was wonderful!~ For clinic today we split into 3 groups. One group we went over case studies and how to classify patients and what instruments to use on them. I was lost! I guess I need to read my clinic manual and freshen up on things. Another group learned about our Graceys. I think I'm going to like these instruments a lot. We learned that the 1/2 is for anterior, 13/14 is for distals, and 15/16 is for facial, mesial, and lingual surfaces. The last group learned about the ultra sonic scaler. We practiced on our typodonts too. I feel pretty comfortable using this but I'm sure that will all change once I get a real patient in my chair. Now I'm just stressing about getting people to come in and be my patient!
