How should you proceed?

2.) During a periodontal assessment of a periodontitis patient, you are trying to determine the clinical attachment level on the facial surface of a canine tooth. On the facial surface, you have measured 3mm of gingival recession and probing depth of 6mm.

How much attachment has been lost on the facial surface of the canine tooth? What process did you use to determine your answer? How would you proceed with this patient? (Would you: continue by discussing a treatment plan and not refer, or discuss a treatment plan and the possibility of the patient needing a referral? Consider oral hygiene aids and chemotherapeutics.
