170902 -
170903 - Follow up ref SDS 43 004T, ref SDS 40 004T.
170904 -
170905 - Next meeting on 141021, was scheduled in the medical chart received
170906 - with Doctor Mark Graham's letter on 140416 0800. ref SDS 43 6Z6Q
170908 - ..
170909 - Instead of doing another cleaning, would like to use this time for 2nd
170910 - opinion review of Kathy's condition, similar to review Doctor Graham
170911 - did on tooth #2 on 090302 0815. ref SDS 9 IS9O
170913 - ..
170914 - On 130826, Kathy met with her dentist for preparing a mold to make a
170915 - temporary tooth. It will be used to replace a failed implant
170916 - constructed about 10 years ago, and which had been removed by the
170917 - periodontist days earlier, what at that time, the periodontist also
170918 - performed initial bone graft remedial work to prepare for constructing
170919 - a new implant. ref SDS 39 6U5I
170921 - ..
170922 - The failed implant is one of 2 implants Kathy had done 10 years ago.
170923 - The other implant has not failed, so only 1 implant has to be replaced
170924 - at this time. The periodontist attributes failed implant to bone
170925 - loss, possibly related to smoking, reported on 130826 1733.
170926 - ref SDS 39 6U67
170928 - ..
170929 - Questions to review in second opinion based on Periodontist's
170930 - Treatment Plan (shown below, ref SDS 0 E64K, requiring the patient
170931 - sign acknowledgement that such issues have been "discussed" with the
170932 - dentist, per below. ref SDS 0 PSWQ
170933 -
170934 - 1. Perform implant per Periodontist's Treatment Plan dated
170935 - 140403, see below. ref SDS 0 E64K
170937 - ..
170938 - Can new implant failure recur in another few years, based
170939 - on evident weakness of jaw bone?
170941 - ..
170942 - Xrays of failed implant taken by periodontist; one taken
170943 - last year on 131001, and a 2nd xray taken this year on
170944 - 140408...
170948 - ..
170949 - 2. Construct a bridge instead of the implant.
170950 -
170951 - Can this cause damage to adjacent teeth? Will it last as
170952 - long as the implant?
170954 - ..
170955 - 3. Continue existing temporary filler component and forego
170956 - implant and bridge solutions.
170958 - ..
170959 - Will this cause further bone loss in the jaw, or any other
170960 - problems?
170962 - ..
170963 - Are there other risks of foregoing implant repair at this
170964 - time?
170966 - ..
170967 - 4. Other options and issues presented on 2nd opinion dental
170968 - examination
170969 -
170971 - ..
170972 - Called Kathy.
170974 - ..
170975 - She has a letter from the Periodontist, and will submit for
170976 - transmission with the agenda on meeting with Doctor Graham on 141021.

1713 -
171301 - Called Lynn at Doctor Graham's office.
171302 -
171303 - She advised that I am scheduled for 0800 - 0900. Kathy is scheduled
171304 - for 0945, after another patient at 0900.
171305 -
171306 - [On 141015 1327 received letter from Graham Dental offices
171307 - confirming meeting on 141021. ref SDS 47 0S51
171309 - ..
171310 - Lynn put me on hold.

1716 - 1343
1717 -
171701 - Lynn came back online.
171702 -
171703 - She advised that the other patient agreed to switch places with Kathy,
171704 - so that Doctor Graham can see Kathy after he sees me.
171705 -
171706 - [On 141015 1327 received letter from Graham Dental offices
171707 - confirming meeting on 141021. ref SDS 47 0S51

171710 - ..
1718 -
1719 -
1720 - 2140
1721 -
172101 - Received letter via electronic mail from Kathy transmitting the
172102 - periodontist's proposal dated 140403, for services to replace a dental
172103 - implant.
172105 - ..
172106 - The proposal is presented in 3 files in PDF format, one for each page
172107 - of the proposal. Tried using OCR tools to convert these PDF files
172108 - into text for efficient case management in the record. The OCR tools
172109 - are part of HP printer "Solution Center" configured with c17 on 110104
172110 - 0721. ref SDS 24 4S7K However today, could not find the HP Solution
172111 - Center nor other OCR tools for converting the PDF file into useful
172112 - text, reported several later on 141010 1228, ref SDS 45 RH3N
172114 - ..
172115 - A few days later, eventually, got printer configured to support
172116 - scanning, reported on 141013 0856, ref SDS 46 T465, and then was able
172117 - to scan PDF documents on Kathy's dental issues, into text for
172118 - notifying Doctor Graham to prepare for 2nd opinion meeting scheduled
172119 - on 141021.
172121 - ..
172122 - Turned out however, that scanned files are more of a jumble and take
172123 - longer to format in the record, than simply entering the text
172124 - manually, also reported on 141013 0856. ref SDS 46 QW7K
172126 - ..
172127 - Therefore, entered in the record below, documents on pending proposal
172128 - dated 140403, for periodontal work. ref SDS 0 E64K
172130 - ..
172131 - Proposal dated 140403 shows total cost of work - $3364; and, it
172132 - expired on 140708. ref SDS 0 C43G

172137 - Patient Copays are DUE at the 1st appointment and/or pre
172138 - surgical appointments. ref SDS 0 C28F
172140 - ..
172141 - If the patient is paying the entire bill, does this mean payment is
172142 - required in advance of doing any work?
172144 - ..
172145 - A few days later, Kathy seemed to say that she expects to pay the
172146 - entire bill in advance.
172148 - ..
172149 - Proposal further says in part...
172150 -
172151 - I, the undersigned patient, understand my dental condition

172157 - any "discussion" with the periodontist and with the primary dentist?
