Cаse Study Yоur pаtient Rikki Clаire returns fоr her regularly scheduled cоntinuing care appointment. Rikki Claire is a 42-year-old black female, and she states that she has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and has stopped smoking. Upon examining Rikki Claire you find she has a plaque score of 15%, mostly on the interproximal surfaces of her teeth, and 1 to 2 mm of recession on the facial surface of teeth #5, 6, 27, and 28. She has recurrent decay on tooth #14 and moderate stain on the lingual surfaces of the anterior teeth. Her blood pressure is 125/79 and she takes Synthroid for an underactive thyroid condition. Her probe readings are all less than 3 mm, and her recent radiographs show 1 to 2 mm of generalized bone loss due to her previous periodontal disease and subsequent periodontal surgery. Her gingiva appears firm, dark pink, and stippled with bleeding upon probing around tooth #17. Use this case study to answer questions 26-30 Which item found in Rikki Claire's assessment would most likely increase the frequency of her continuing care appointments?
