Of the 12 surfaces, 8must be on posteriors;5 must beinterproximal surfaces.Three <strong>of</strong> theseinterproximal surfacesmust be on molars. All posterior teeth musthave at least oneapproximatingposterior tooth within2mm distance. Selection must includethree pockets <strong>of</strong> 4mm<strong>of</strong> greater, each on adifferent tooth.NERB stronglydiscourages treatmentselections including: Probing depths >6mm Class III furcations ormobility Ortho brackets Faulty restorations Gross caries Implants Partially erupted 3 rdmolars Retained deciduousteeth Extensive veneersC<strong>and</strong>idate must selectone full quadrant <strong>and</strong>up to 4 additional teethwith a minimum <strong>of</strong> 12surfaces <strong>of</strong> qualifyingsubgingival calculus.The selected quadrantmust contain at least 6natural teeth; at leastone tooth in thequadrant must be apermanent molar withat least 1 proximalcontact.Of the 12 surfaces, amaximum <strong>of</strong> 6 can beon anterior teeth; aminimum <strong>of</strong> 5 onproximal posteriors<strong>and</strong> a minimum <strong>of</strong> 3must be on molars.C<strong>and</strong>idates areencouraged to avoidchoosing teeth withexcessive decay.C<strong>and</strong>idate must selectone full quadrant <strong>and</strong>up to 4 additionalteeth, including 1molar with a proximalcontact <strong>and</strong> at least 6natural teeth.Selection must includea minimum <strong>of</strong> 12surfaces <strong>of</strong> qualifyingsubgingival calculus.
