He is in a wheelchair and has moderate to severe muscular contractures of the hands, wrists and elbows. He takes Dilantin (phenytoin) daily to control seizures.

Intraoral assessment shows moderate attrition of all occlusal and incisal surfaces; accumulation of material alba throughout the mouth and retained food particles in the vestibular folds; moderate gingival hyperplasia; and heavy plaque on the cervical third of all teeth. Calculus accumulation is generalized with small spicules scattered subgingivally throughout the mouth and heavy supragingival calculus on mandibular anterior linguals and maxillary posterior facials. Damon is trying to give you some information about his medical history but you cannot understand him.QUESTION: You want to move Damon from his wheelchair to the dental chair. What is the first step?
