Classes at AHEAD Academy

Orthodontics clinical class as a part of orthodontics certificate course was conducted at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi. The students were taught straight wire appliance. The standard straight-wire appliance is designed to move teeth to their desired location in the arch form. This is accomplished by using straight wire brackets in conjunction with a series of preformed arch wires. Straight wire brackets have the ideal tip, torque, angulation and in/out position built into each individual bracket for each tooth. Once the bands and brackets are cemented and bonded in their ideal position, the doctor simply flexes the first arch wire to fit into the bracket slots and ligates it into place. As the arch wire attempts to return to its original shape, it will exert a corresponding force on the individual teeth until the wire lies passive within the brackets. The arch wires are then progressively changed until a normal occlusion is achieved. Some of the advantages of this system are:
• Limited or no arch wire bending
• Shorter overall treatment time
• Consistent quality of end results.

Today online class was on the topic 'MINERALS'. Minerals are inorganic substances required by the body in small amounts for a variety of different functions. Minerals are involved in the formation of bones and teeth; they are essential constituents of body fluids and tissues; they are components of enzyme systems and they are involved in normal nerve function. The body requires different amounts of each mineral; people have different requirements, according to their age, sex, physiological state (e.g. pregnancy) and sometimes their state of health. It was attended by a student preparing for NBDE exam. Many students attend the classes from their homes. Such classes are held regularly at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi and Mohali centres.

Treatment of patients at AHEAD Academy

A 34 year old patient came with pain in lower front teeth and fractured upper front teeth. Root canal treatment (RCT) was planned was lower front teeth, later on followed by crowns. The upper front teeth were restored with composite fillings that are tooth coloured. The patient is extremely glad with his appearance and smile. Many such patients visit AHEAD Academy with their relatives and benefit from the facilities. For many such patients, their appearance has been improved drastically. Most commonly used filling material is the composite filling material as it is tooth coloured associated with and adhere well to the tooth. In this minimum tooth material is lost as the filling has mechanical bonding with the tooth. It is an esthetic filling and has good strength. They come in different shades so the shade matching can be done easily.
Online live class in periodontics was held today at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi centre. The topic for today was ‘normal periodontium’. Periodontium consists of the investing and supporting tissues of the tooth (gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone). It has been divided into two parts: the gingiva, whose main function is protection of the underlying tissues, and the attachment apparatus, composed of the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. Online live lectures are regularly conducted at our New Delhi and Mohali centres. Many students preparing for different foreign exams attend such classes and benefit from them.

Clinical Certificate course in prosthodontics at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi

Clinical class in prosthodontics was held at Ahead Academy, New Delhi centre. Veneers were discussed in detail. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the natural look of teeth. They also provide strength to the tooth. It is used in teeth with poor colour, shape and contours. Veneers are a good choice for fractured teeth, gaps between teeth and bite related problems smile designing was elaborated. A smile makeover is the process of improving the appearance of the smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures like veneers, composite bonding, implants and whitening. Zirconia crowns and their properties were taught to the students. The trade names and market price of crowns and resin cements were told to the students. The technique was then demonstrated to the students in detail.


Clinical course in prosthodontics is going on at New Delhi centre. New students were given a demonstration of crown preparation. Before giving a crown, a tooth’s upper part, crown has to be reduced to make space for crown. The students were shown the step-by-step procedure for crown preparation. At AHEAD Academy, we prepare the students fully before they work on patients. A thorough exposure is given to the students here.









CLINICAL CERTIFICATE COURSE IN IMPLANTOLOGY

Students are free to perform procedures directly on allotted patients.
The Introduction to Implant Surgery Course covers a broad simplification of Course Topics, Course Objectives, and Hands-on Participation.
Below are a few of the Topics:
Implant Surgery Course includes diagnosis & Treatment Planning, Implants in General Dentistry,  Prosthetic rehabilitation, Bone Grafting Procedures, Soft & hard Tissue Management, Pain Management.
Course Objectives:
§ To understand diagnosis & treatment planning starting with the anticipated prosthetic result.
§ To understand basic knowledge of bone grafting & ridge augmentation procedures related to dental implants.
§ To understand the role of implant dentistry in the future dental practice.
Many such cases are regularly performed at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi and Mohali.

Post and core treatment is recommended for teeth which are severely decayed or structurally damaged. After a root canal treatment, the post is positioned in the root of the tooth. It can be used to support a filling or to hold a crown. Some posts are ready made, whereas others are made in the laboratory especially to fit the tooth. If the previous restorative therapy or dental caries has resulted in substantial loss of tooth structure, the abutment teeth for fixed prosthodontic restorations require a core reconstruction or a post and core. Small dentin defects can be restored with bonded cores; more extensive dentin defects that are often accompanied by previous endodontic treatment generally require additional support for the core material. A direct procedure with a bonded post is a viable treatment method. The decision to use either light-conducting all-ceramic zirconium or titanium as a post material depends on the aesthetic requirements present.

Clinical certificate course in general dentistry


Clinical class in endodontics was held at our New Delhi centre. Pit and fissure sealant, pulpectomy, pulpotomy and apex genesis were discussed. The class was followed by a demonstration of sealant placement.   Pit and fissure sealants are materials that are applied to the pits and fissure surfaces of teeth to create a thin barrier which protects the sealed surface from decay. Sealants are a safe and painless way of protecting teeth from decay. A sealant is a protective plastic coating, which is applied to the biting surfaces of the back teeth. It forms a hard shield that keeps food and bacteria from getting into the tiny grooves in the teeth and causing decay. Such classes are regularly conducted at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi and Mohali.



A demonstration of tooth preparation was given to the new batch of students at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi. After that students practiced tooth preparation on many patients. The faculty then cleared the doubts of students to improve their preparations. The four main categories of crown were metal, ceramic, metal-ceramic and composite. Tooth preparations need to reflect the different requirements of these materials in terms of amount of space needed to accommodate the crown and its marginal configuration. Tooth preparations also need to be free from undercuts whilst reliably retaining the crown.





Online live class was conducted at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi. The topic of discussion was “screening for oral diseases”. The topics related to MCQs frequently asked in exams were explained in detail. The topics related to screening including sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were discussed. Students can attend such classes from their homes or anywhere they find it comfortable. It is similar to classroom teaching where students can ask their doubts that are answered by the expert faculty. The class was attended by students preparing for MDS Exams at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi and Mohali.
Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (or ROC curve) was taught to the students. It is a plot of the true positive rate against the false positive rate for the different possible cut points of a diagnostic test.
An ROC curve demonstrates several things:
·         It shows the trade-off between sensitivity and specificity (any increase in sensitivity will be accompanied by a decrease in specificity).
·         The closer the curve follows the left-hand border and then the top border of the ROC space, the more accurate the test.
·         The closer the curve comes to the 45-degree diagonal of the ROC space, the less accurate the test.

Online live classes at AHEAD Academy

Online live class was conducted at AHEAD Academy. The topic of discussion was tooth preparation which may be defined as the mechanical treatment of dental disease or injury to hard tissue that restores a tooth to the original form. The mechanical preparation or the chemical treatment of the remaining tooth structure, which enables it to accommodate a restorative material without incurring mechanical or biological failure. Students can attend such classes from their homes or anywhere they find it comfortable. It is similar to classroom teaching where students can ask their doubts that are answered by the expert faculty. The class was also attended by students preparing for ADC (Australian Dental Council) Exam and DCM (Dental Council of Mauritius).







Cases of impaction were performed at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi. Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in their late teens or early twenties. Sometimes these teeth can be a valuable asset to the mouth when healthy and properly aligned, but more often, they are misaligned and require removal. Many such cases are regularly treated at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi and Mohali.
