Name: Kathy BrownDOB: 5th jan 1967Address: #XYZ Street, London.

1).Owing to provisional diagnosis of Chronic Periodontitis would like to request for Dental Panoramic Tomography to view bone loss,assessment of the teeth present,periapical region and pulp,adjacent teeth displacement and resorption due to lump in the palate.

2).Owing to provisional diagnosis of Benign Salivary Gland Neoplasm would like to request for Upper standard occlusal view to view the size and extent of the lesion and periapical assessment of upper teeth.

Assuming pt's next appointment is on 20/2/2012.

xray requested back on 20/2/2012 for viewing and appropriate pt managemnet.

Continuing with the case...Which radiographic view(s) do you think are justified??1. Do you think IOPA of 31,32 is justified? My opinion- No. Both teeth are grade 3 mobile with poor prognosis. Highly unlikely that they can be saved. An IOPA will not add the diagnosis or treatment plan. (????? please add. I am not very sure)2. DPT??Yes. will serve 2 purposes- 1. generalised bone loss can be measured to aid in periodontal maintenance. 2. may give an idea of the palatal lesion(though not a good one, because palate falls outside its focal trough)3. Maxillary Occlusal view??yes. to see extent of lesion on palate/ signs of palatal perforation..Other special investigations:1. Full mouth perio charting.2. Biopsy of lesion on palate. 3. Vitality tests 31,32.??? what else?? > > >> > > Hi,> > > I am sure everyone preparing for part 2 must have gone thru the new guidelines for Dtp..
