In clinical class in oral surgery for new batch, the principles of tooth
extraction were discussed. The indications and contraindication of
trans-alveolar extraction were explained to the students. The students were
motivated to study and came for the clinical classes. The parts of an implant
were demonstrated to the students. Dental implants are being used for 53 years
for prosthetic treatment of partially or fully edentoulous people. Dental
implants have components
The dental implant:
This is part that is placed in the bone and is located under the gum
line. The implant is Osseo integrated after 3 month of healing time. During
that time bone cells grow in the implant surface, making it strong and able to
support the load of the tooth that will be placed on the top.
The abutment:
The abutment is placed usually in the implants a few months after its
placement. It is screwed in place and is used to support the prosthesis.
Every implants has specific type of abutment to go with it. The parts fit
perfectly to the implant top and that gives to the prosthesis the nessesary
stability. We are also able to fabricate custom made abutment as well as
abutment made out of ceramic material for high-esthetic cases.
The prosthesis:
This is the crown, bridge or denture that is supported by the implant. The prosthesis can be cemented on the abutment or screw retained.

As a part of clinical course in
Prosthodontics, clinical class was held at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi. The parts
and procedure of post and core were taught to the students in detail. They were
then shown the instruments and the kit.A post and
core is a prosthetic
device that is utilized when there is inadequate tooth structure remaining to
support a traditional restoration or an artificial crown. A post and core is
indicated when a large part (or all) of a tooth's original crown structure has
been lost. The crown structure can be damaged either due to the progression of dental
decays or because of a
tooth trauma. The classes as part
of clinical course are conducted with a clinical point of view. The students
are taught how to handle different cases in the clinic independently.
In Endodontics class at AHEAD
Academy, New Delhi, the topic of discussion was ‘perforation repair’. The
students were then demonstrated the procedure of perforation repair in detail. Perforation is an artificial communication between the
root canal system and supporting tissues of the teeth. Root perforation
complicates the treatment and deprives the prognosis if not properly managed. A
wide variety of materials to seal the perforations were discussed.
Sometimes
a root canal has been performed to remove infected nerve
or pulp from the interior of the affected tooth. Other times a titanium post
and specialized cement may be used to strengthen a cracked or broken tooth. In
either case, a temporary crown is usually placed over the remainder of the
treated tooth. This is done to protect it for a short but important period of
time until the permanent dental crown can be placed.
A 32 year lady came to AHEAD
Academy, New Delhi with a complaint of discoloured crown in front region. The
patient had to attend a wedding the same day. A temporary crown for prepared
for her and placed. The woman was extremely glad with the procedure. She has
been recalled to place the final crown.
