December’s Clearstep™ Practitioner of the Month has been awarded to Dr Rafal Topolski of Smile Care Cosmetic Centre for his continuous great work using the Clearstep™ System and the consistent fantastic records sent into our Diagnostic Faculty. Diagnosis plays a pivotal role in making sure that patients are given the best possible treatment with the Clearstep™ System therefore in order for our in house orthodontists to provide a top quality treatment bespoke to each patient, we require records that comply with our diagnostic guidelines.
This month we would like to thank Dr Topolski for the excellent records he consistently provides to our diagnostic team. Through a recommendation from the diagnostic department here at Clearstep™, it has been highlighted how much our orthodontists are helped by Dr Topolski and how he realises the importance of record quality.
“We would like to say a big thank you to Dr Topolski for the time and effort spent providing excellent diagnostic records. It is always a joy to receive records of such high quality and we look forward to receiving more cases from Smile Care Cosmetic Centre. All records we pass to our diagnosing orthodontists must be of a fantastic standard; Dr Topolski truly understands this and his records are consistently exceptional”. Amanda Geary-Pepper, Clearstep™ Diagnostics Assistant. Our working relationship with Dr Topolski has grown from strength to strength with every case that is submitted, and when we asked the question what tips do you have for any practitioners struggling with the records needed for diagnosis? Dr Topolski had the following to say:
“You do not need any fancy equipment, I am using very simple Kodak camera 4.1 Mp. There is no need to invest in large resolution cameras as these photos would be too large to be transmit via Data Exchange or even by mail and would require compression or resizing. It is very helpful to familiarise yourself with buccal mirrors as buccal segment photos are always the most difficult for majority of practitioners - practice on your nurse using good quality retractors until you will be able to photograph all the teeth including the last molars.
There should be no compromise when it comes to x-rays, you must invest in a good digital sensor or panoramic x-ray, preferably with cephalometric addition. Since our practice digitalised I cannot believe how I was able to diagnose periapical problems or even simple caries with normal film based x-rays.” Dr R Topolski
From feedback and looking at records we receive on a daily basis Buccal Segment photos and X-rays are often the most difficult to perfect. As you can see Dr Topolski’s photos and X-rays are very clear and enable us to see all required areas.
Dr Topolski is a skilled practitioner that we value highly and regard as one of our best practitioners. His records are outstanding but so is the care and attention that every patient he treats receives throughout their Clearstep™ treatment.
