A 55-year-old woman has poor dentition, which is partially related to her previous history of ice chewing (Fig.1).  The long bone height in the jaws suggests bruxism and requires as many teeth and implants as possible.  After SRP, caries will be removed from #14 and 15 for determination of salvageability (Fig.2).  The patient prefers to save the tooth #30.  Endo referral will be recommended for #14 and 30.
