Dentist Cover Letter
Dear colleague,
Today I saw Mr X.
He was affected by acute periodontitis. He has no concomitant diseases or discomforts except for the symptomatology he presented.
He told me of the pain in his lower jaw, increasing under pressured condition, such as chopping or chewing.
At the physical examination he presented with erythematous gum. The pocket exploration highlighted the pocket depth augmentation between 8-10 mm.
The patient underwent X-rays of his\her lower jaw.., which demonstrated an initial bone rarefaction with some erosion at the upper level under teeth number …….
Taking into consideration his\her symptomatology and what the clinical records found, a deep scaling treatment was performed and the pockets were irrigated with chlorhexidine . Afterward the patient underwent a 7-day course of antibiotic therapy with Amoxicilline administered once a day with pain-killers (mainly Ibuprophen up to 3 days per week).
After a week’s treatment, pain symptomatology was almost gone and the patient presented with an overall improved situation. As the inflammation decreased, this was demonstrated by the perio pockets finds however to acknowledge the initial reabsorption of the jaw bone as shown from the results of the radiographies taken. At this point, I would like to address you the patient, in order to evaluate the timing and to plan the next step of his\her treatment i.e. periodontal surgery.....

If you need further information or medical records, please do not hesitate to contact me on the details provided.

Yours Faithfully,
Yours Sincerely,
Kind Regards,
Best Regards,
Regards,

    Being the most prevalent form of periodontitis, chronic periodontitis is defined as “an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissue of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms, resulting in progressive destruction of the supporting structures of the teeth.”1 It is most prevalent in elderly patients with the presence of causative factors such as calculus, plaques, associated systemic conditions, smoking and overhanging restorations.2 Clinically, chronic periodontitis is often associated with a decrease in bone level, decrease in periodontal attachment level and loss of stippling effect of the healthy gingival, periodontal pockets formation and gingival inflammation. As chronic periodontitis may be asymptomatic with the gingival appearing healthy despite the presence of ongoing underlying infection, patients may be totally unaware of the existence of the condition and continue assuming that their gingival health is good.3 This makes it particularly difficult for the patient to accept treatment, further contributing to the progression of the disease. Because plaques and calculus are the primary initiating factors in gingivitis and periodontitis, plaque retentive factors are notably important in the development of…

    HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a very pleasant 57-year old female, a native of Cuba, being seen for evaluation and treatment for sores in her mouth that she has had for the last 10-12 days. The patient has a long history of severe and debilitating rheumatoid arthritis for which she has had numerous treatments, but over the past ten years she has been treated with methotrexate quite successfully. Her dosage has varied somewhere between 20 and 25 mg per week. About the beginning of this year, her dosage was decreased from 25 mg to 20 mg, but because of a flare of the rheumatoid arthritis, it was increased to 22.5 mg per week. She has had no problems with methotrexate as far as she knows. She also took an NSAID about a month ago that was recently discontinued because of the ulcerations in her mouth. About two weeks ago, just about the time the stomatitis began, she was placed on an antibiotic for suspected upper respiratory infection. She does not remember the name of the antibiotic, although she claims she remembers taking this type of medication in the past without any problems.…

    The patient was nervous from the start; she was afraid of the local anesthesia injection, and although the assistant tried to pass the syringe to the doctor away from the patient’s line of sight, the patient saw it and her eyes bulged. However, she was cooperative and stayed fairly still. Dr. Mangelson used a large scalpal to cut the gingiva away from the teeth using the sulcus as a guide. He made flaps on the buccal and lingual sides. He cut out the areas of excess tissue just distal to tooth #1. During the procedure, he convinced the patient to let him use that excess tissue to do a…
