Mockboard found......CHECK!!

So last Thursday I had a patient come in and I was just figuring it was going to be a 1B. Well it turns out that she is my mockboard patient and possibly even my real board patient. I went through the OD and she had a couple 4's and 5's, then looking at her x-rays I could just see the calculus on all of the posterior teeth. We haven't been over the qualifications yet, but Professor Wold suggested that I hold on to her for my exams. I went through and did a calculus evaluation and there was a quite a bit present (there must have been for me to be able to detect it). She only has occlusal fillings, so that's a bonus!! I think I will be able to do a pretty good job on my exams with this patient. I am really excited that I was able to find this patient so early on in the semester, and I am really looking forward to mockboards now. I'm still a nervous wreck for the actual day, but at least I don't have to stress about finding a patient. PHEW!!!!
