Grades are entered into Axium AFTER all quadrents are completed

Students will follow the same process for co-therapy patients as they do for recall patients EXCEPT:

They will NOT complete a hard tissue chart or periodontal chart. Therefore the only assessment data to be collected is:

  • EIOE
  • Gingival descriptions (also incorporate periodontal classification documented in the chart)
  • Health Behaviors

Tally the scores from each of the quadrants and determine the average score. Find the average score in the table below and enter the corresponding grade from the “Grade to be Entered” column.

Average Score Grade to be Entered Example
90-100 S The student received 2 As, 1 N and 1 U on the 4 quadrants. 85+85+75+65 = 77.5 ≈ 78 (N goes into Axium under the prophy code)
80-89 A
70-79 N
Below 70 U
