Q: Case Study 1
Your patient Rikki Claire returns for her regularly scheduled maintenance 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.

Reference: Ref 47-1

Open and read the attached case to answer the following question. Which item found in Rikki Claire's assessment would most likely increase the frequency of her maintenance appointments?
- She now has diabetes
- Her plaque score of 15%
- She has stopped smoking
- Her recurrent decay
- Her motivation and compliance
A: She now has diabetes
