 * Patient Medication: **

Intra-oral picture Free- Generalized red, bulbous with localized rolled on buccal and lingual of #23-26 and, edematous and glossy. Attached- Generalized dark, firmly bound to bone, smooth and shiny. Area of possible lesion is mixed, irregular, ill defined and spans from apex of 22 to the apex of #29 to the inferior border of the mandible. ADA type II with localized ADA III. AAP generalized slight chronic with localized moderated chronic periodontitis due to plaque and calculus and modified by hypothyroidism and down syndrome.
 * Clinically Findings: **
 * Extra Oral:** None
 * Intra Oral:** Macroglossia, fissured tongue. bilaterally crepitation, haliotosis, mouth breather.
 * Gingival Description:**
 * MBI** 53 %
 * Probing Depths:** Generalized 3-4 mm with localized 5 mm on the posterior teeth.
 * BOP:** 60 %
 * Recession:** facial of 7-1 mm, 10-1 mm, 23-26 1mm, and 28-1 mm.
 * Mucogingival defects:** None
 * Mobility:** + # 7,9,10, 23-26
 * Fremititi**#6,8,9,11
 * Furcations:** 19 facial class I and 30 facial class II.
 * Angles Class:** Class III
 * Facial Profile:** Prognanthic
 * Salivary Flow:** adequate
 * Radiographic interpretation:**
 * Missing teeth:** 1,4,16 and 17 (congenitally missing, common sign of down syndrome)
 * Quality of radiograph:** Is diagnostic.
 * Trabecular pattern:** Is consistent with the exception of the mandibular anterior.
 * Lamina dura:** Is intact with the exception of the mandibular anterior.
 * Differential diagnosis includes:**
 * Alveolar crest:** Is fuzzy and generally 3mm from the CEJ.
 * PDL:** Is widened on the mesial of #2,3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 18, 19, 22, 24,25,31 and distal of # 5, 78,9,10, 14, 15, 19,22,23,24,25,26,30 and 31
 * Corralation to assesments:** The radiographs correlate to the clinical assessements. The widening of the PDL could be due to the clenching and grinding.
 * Restorations:** none
 * Areas of concern:** The anterior mandibular area.
 * Calculus Code:** Medium
 * Referral Form:**
 * What about the mixed lesion apically on the LAS? Shouldn't this be reviewed out to a oral surgeon for evaluation? DL **

 * Critical Thinking Form:**
 * Treatment Plan:**
 * SOAP notes:**
 * Prognosis: With parent and patient cooperation at home and good oral hygiene routines as well as 3 month re-care intervals we feel that the patients prognosis can be improved. Currently the patient has a generalized fair prognosis with a localized poor prognosis. **
 * Down's Syndrome: ** Is a condintion in which extra genetic material causes delays in the way a child develops, both mentally and physically. Down syndrome can not be prevented, it can be detected before the child is born.
