8. Treatment/Appointment Plan: (Include assessment findings of patient needs, appropriate treatment, and education plan- include long and short term goals) Each long term goal should be supported by at least 2 short term goals. Appointment 1: Plan for Treatment: Goals: Plan for Education and/or Oral ______________________________________________________Hygiene Instruction Medical and dental history with vital signs Radiographs-FMX Intra/Extra Oral Exam Dental Charting Periodontal assessment Plaque and bleeding score Informed consent

HIPAA Patient education session Appointment 2: Reduce biofilms for arresting periodontitis within the next

Schedule appointment for next month and reduce plaque score Educate patient on staining, periodontitis, and bad breath (reasons/causes for this: use flipbook)

year. Introduce idea of cessation Learn new brushing and flossing technique

Explain how we can reduce plaque score and why it will help Demonstrate/ teach best brushing technique for patient

Plan for Treatment: Goals: Plan for Education and/or Oral ______________________________________________________Hygiene Instruction Review medical and dental history Vital signs Periodontal assessment Plaque and bleeding score Scale mandibular arch, right and left quadrant Patient education session discuss patient having tooth #3 and #5 repaired

Introduce flossing Continue reduction of biofilm Ask about cessation goals/achievements

Demonstrate proper flossing: make a goal to floss weekly. Review brushing technique

Schedule 3 month appointment: Get reduction of plaque score to 20%

Appointment 3: Plan for Treatment: Goals: Plan for Education and/or Oral ______________________________________________________Hygiene Instruction______ Review medical and dental history Arrest periodontitis: At home care Vital signs aids Periodontal assessment Plaque and bleeding score Cessation: 10 cigarettes a day Scale Maxillary arch, right and left Explain continuing care for quadrant periodontitis to assure arrest Patient education session

Make appointment for patient’s Referral for assessment on tooth # 3 & #5 repairs

intraoral lesions for oral cancer before next visit

Appointment 4:

Schedule repair for tooth # 3 & #5 before next visit Introduce a fluoride rinse to patient’s routine if flossing properly

Increase flossing from weekly to daily

Plan for Treatment: Goals: Plan for Education and/or Oral ______________________________________________________Hygiene Instruction__ Review medical and dental history Vital signs Reduction to one pack a week Periodontal assessment Plaque and bleeding score Flossing twice daily Patient education session Use of fluoride mouth rinse: how’s that going? Keep reduction of plaque score Complete arrest of periodontitis in Aim for regular appointments/ next 6 months check ups

9. Prognosis: (Is the prognosis good, fair, poor, questionable, or hopeless……base and support your answer on age, number of teeth, systemic/social background, malocclusion, periodontal examination, recall availability) The patient’s prognosis depends on the patient’ s compliance. In order to succeed, the patient must actively perform at home care to specified goals. If treatment is avoided by the patient, she may see, progression of periodontitis, bone loss, possible development of oral cancer, tooth decay, and worsening symptoms for her Rheumatoid Arthritis. By following the treatment plan, the patient will be able to: arrest periodontitis, get rid of inflammation, improve stains, reduce risk of oral cancer, and improve her overall health. 10. Supportive Therapy: State the suggestions made to patient regarding re-evaluation, referral, and recall schedule. (Note: Include date of recall appointment below.) Patient received referrals concerning: restoration repair, and possible replacement of tooth #3 & #5, referral to a periodontist for arresting periodontic disease, and a referral to an oncologist to assess oral cancer. 12-21-20 – Return in one month after periodontist referral for routine cleaning.

1-11-21 – Schedule next cleaning one month after this appointment 2-11-21 – Schedule repairs for tooth #3 & #5 before next appointment in 3 months 5-11-21 – Schedule next 3 month visit, schedule oncologist referral, assess tobacco cessation
