Examination and Documentation
CASE STORY
A 55‐year‐old Caucasian female presented with a chief complaint of: “My mouth is always dry, and I have difficulty swallowing.” She said, “I was recently diagnosed with scleroderma, and my doctor told me I should see a dentist.” The vital signs were blood pressure: 159/92 mmHg; respiration: 16 breaths/min; pulse: 72 beats/min, temperature: 98°F; and nonsmoker.
PROBLEM‐BASED LEARNING GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
- Discuss the role of the patient's medical, social, and dental histories (comprehensive health history) in the patient examination
- List and describe the five parts of a comprehensive clinical examination
- Differentiate between types of findings in a clinical examination including signs and symptoms, and significant and insignificant findings
- Discuss the definition, purpose, and methods of documentation
- Identify the components of care documented in the patient's permanent record
Medical History
The patient was diagnosed with scleroderma and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). She is taking antacids for GERD and immunosuppressant medications and a calcium channel blocker for scleroderma.
Dental History
The patient reported that her last dental visit was one year ago. She has a history of childhood caries but has been caries free since college. Also, she has symptoms of dry mouth and difficulty opening her mouth and swallowing.
Social History
The patient is a self‐described over‐achieving professional concerned about her health and the appearance of her teeth. She lives with her husband in a suburb of Manhattan, has three adult children, and enjoys reading.
Review of Systems (Physical Examination)
Gastrointestinal Examination
The patient has difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) and GERD.
Cardiovascular Examination
The patient has a history of Raynaud's phenomenon and hypertension (BP: 159/92).
Cutaneous Examination
The patient stated that her fingers are extremely sensitive to the cold. The skin of her hands appeared shiny and stretched with varying degrees of pigmentation. The patient struggled to hold the pen while signing consent forms.
Head and Neck Examination
Extraoral
The patient exhibited microstomia restricting her mouth opening (<20 mm), and the lips were thin and stretched.
Intraoral
Examination of the major and minor salivary gland duct openings showed loss of quality and quantity of saliva.
Periodontal charting showed areas of bleeding on probing without CAL (clinical attachment loss).
Generalized fibrotic changes in mucosal tissues were noted with mucogingival paresthesia. Oral mucosal tissues appeared pale and tight with hardening of the soft palate. The patient's GI score was 2. Several restorations and crowns were noted. No caries present. Generalized moderate biofilm accumulation was apparent. The debris index (DI‐S) and the calculus index (CI‐S) were both scored as 1 (debris and calculus covered less than 1/3 of the examined tooth surfaces).
Class I: right and left sides; teeth #7 and #10 are in torso version and overlap slightly with #8 and #9.
Radiographic Examination
No significant findings.
