As clinicians we are pressed for time in the busy day of serving patients, yet we want to do all we can to provide optimal care for each patient in the appointment time. Dentists and dental hygienists often report not feeling completely confident when performing the visual and tactile evaluation. Practice and consistently performing a procedure leads to confidence and efficiency. In this CE webinar we will review a thorough visual and tactile, intraoral and extraoral evaluation/EOIO, discuss components of the oropharyngeal evaluation, review optimal documentation, and why Mallampati score, and Tonsil grade are important to this evaluation.

During this CE webinar, we will
• Explain components of a visual and tactile, intraoral and extraoral evaluation.
• Describe a thorough documentation of the EOIO.
• Identify and document Mallampati score and Tonsil grade.   ( disclaimer , AGD PACE Statement )
