SRP

Important information: There is no longer a minimum requirement to challenge your SRP competency. When you feel competent you may challenge. All Perio Competency sheets may be found in the East Clinic near the coordinators suite. 

• First: does the patient have a 9A form approved by a periodontist for the SRP?

• Scaling and root planing 4 teeth per quad code is D4341

• Scaling and root planing 1-3 teeth per quad is D4342

• You must record a plaque index prior to beginning the SRP

• Pocket depths of 5mm or greater are indications for SRP

• With a Medicaid patient all SRPs must have a PAR form prior to starting

Materials Needed:

• Piezo or Cavitron 

• Disclosing Solution

• Perio Cassette

• Perio Files

• Anesthetic (topical and local)

• Local Anesthetic Syringe 

NOTE: After the last quadrant of SRP is complete, make sure to plan a D4100 perio re-evaluation 4-6 weeks later.
