1. Case Study
Kaley O’Brien

2. David
The patient is a 54 year old male who has had multiple contributing factors to increase his severe periodontal disease. Multiple previous conditions leading to multiple medication, deep pockets with progressive bone loss, and lack of knowledge have all lead to the severity of this patients condition. With a 5 sub rating, a case type IV, and 28 teeth this patient is ideal for my case study. The goal was to perform NSPT to arrest the disease and provide improvement to his periodontal condition. Initial Appointment: 1/15/15

3. Health History Age: 54 Last prophy: unknown
Systemic diseases: High Blood Pressure, Type II Diabetes, stroke in 2001, and kidney removal in 2013.
Medication: Omeprazole, Carvedilol, Amlodipine, Tamulosin, Hydrochlorothiazide, Simvastatin. Glipizide, Aspirin (.81 mg), and potassium.
Dental Information: Gums bleed upon brushing, brushing 1x per day in AM with fluoride toothpaste

19. Patient Goals
Patient wants to get teeth cleaned, get rid of the bacteria seen on microscope slide, and do any restorations needed
Interventions
NSPT full dentition with aid of local anesthetic, teach good home care, gingival curettage, Arestin placement, and have the dentist diagnose any caries.
Expected Outcomes
NSPT will help reduce the bacteria and take away the environment in which they flourish. Proper home care will help to disrupt that bacteria and stop it from recolonizing. Restorations will be scheduled or referred out accordingly.

22. Treatment Plan Rationale
Based on the severity of the patients periodontal disease, the patient was needing to undergo NSPT.
With pockets being this deep and the patient being so infected there was no way this could be performed without aesthetic.
In hopes to help progress the healing of the tissue curettage was performed on every quadrant and Arestin was placed in any pockets that were still not showing signs of progress at the subsequent appointment.

23. OHI Initial Recommendations: Compliance: Modifications
Brush with new Oral B toothbrush with Bass method for 2 full minute twice daily, flossing with “c” shape, use of perio aid to clean deep pockets, talked about possibility of waterpik, and brushing tongue as well.
Patient advised at initial appointment to focus on brushing twice daily for 2 full minutes
Compliance:
Great effort, but patient still not consistently brushing twice per day. Patient also found perio aid difficult to manipulate
Modifications
Brought up possibility of waterpik again and talked to patient again about importance of brushing more.
Compliance to modifications
By the re-evaluation appointment I could see great improvement in David’s brushing compliance and that David had invested in a Waterpik.

24. Motivation Strategies
Intrinsic
Proper OHI to “get rid” of all the bacteria
Brushing to reduce patients discomfort in mouth
Extrinsic
Arresting periodontal disease in order to avoid toothloss.
Proper OHI to decrease negative appearance of mouth
OHI utilization
I was able to use the microscope, intraoral photos, and the discomfort to help motivated the patient to have great home care compliance.

25. Re-Evaluation Appointment
Date: 4/7/15
2/2
Case Type III with Localized Case Type IV
Microscope Risk Factor B
OHI Compliance: great compliance with water pik, but patient still working on brushing morning and night
Gingival Description:
Generalized moderate papillary and marginal hyperemia with localized severe on 3-4, 13-14, 24-25, and the maxillary anterior
Generalized moderate papillary and marginal enlargement with localized severe on on 3-4, 13-14, 24-25, and the maxillary anterior
Generalized moderate papillary and marginal inflammation with localized severe on on 3-4, 13-14, 24-25, and the maxillary anterior

26. Re-Evaluation Appointment cont.
Patient motivation is still the same and is what is helping him maintain progress.
The expected outcomes were reached as far as removing all of the calculus and teaching proper home care techniques. Patient still needs to have routine cleanings and have restorative work completed.

34. Reflection
I thought that overall my case study was an amazing patient. I do however wish that he would have been more dedicated to his oral health. It seemed that he would do really good for a while, but then he would revert back to old habits and only brush once per day. There was some dexterity restrictions with David, but this was not to the degree that would prevent him from performing any of the things I instructed him on. I feel that it was more of a laziness factor when it came to David! I would have like to have been able to accomplish more as far as motivating him to want to brush twice a day, but I exerted all capabilities that I had. This was an awesome learning experience and made my overall oral hygiene education better!
