REMINDER:  Periodontal Recall Charting

All treatment providers are requested to review all EHRs of their assigned patients and ensure that the Perio Recall TYPE & INTERVAL found in the most recent Perio Template Note (Tx History), Perio Form, and  Recall Card are the SAME.  

There should only be one Perio Recall TYPE (IPT, MSPT, REEVAL) in the Recall Card.  Please delete or modify any inaccurate recalls.

Thank you for your cooperation.

REMINDER:  Dental Implant Assessment & Maintenance Protocol

Please access the DentraNet for details related to Dental Implant Assessment and Maintenance Protocol.

REMINDER:  Intraoral Scanning & Scanning of Diagnostic Casts

Patients requiring impressions for diagnostic purposes must first undergo intraoral scanning with the 3Shape Trios Intraoral Scanner.   Impressions for diagnostic casts may be made, if required, only once intraoral scanning is completed and saved,  The resulting diagnostic casts DO NOT need to be scanned as the intraoral scan has already been completed and saved.

If, however, impressions for diagnostic casts were made without having the patient undergo intraoral scanning, the diagnostic casts (once separated and trimmed) must be scanned with the 3Shape Lab Scanner in the Prosthodontics Laboratory.

We would also greatly appreciate it if students could tidy up the KEC Student Lab by discarding old lab cases ie. working casts, if the case has been completed.  Please return any implant components related to working casts to the Prosthodontics Laboratory.

Please remember that the Prosthodontics Laboratory is open from 7:45 - 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 - 4:15 p.m.

Please contact Paul Ladell with any questions or concerns about using the 3Shape Lab Scanner.

Thank you for your cooperation.
