Online live classes are
regularly conducted at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi and Mohali. These classes are
attended by students preparing for MDS and foreign exams. Today online live
lecture was held at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi. The topic of discussion was
“fungal infections and skin pathology”. Fungal infections are becoming more
frequent because of expansion of at-risk populations and use of treatment
modalities that permit longer survival of these patients. Some of the changes
in endemic fungal infections can be attributed to climate changes, extension of
human habitats, ease of travel, and shifting populations. Today, fungi
previously considered nonpathogenic, including mucoraceous genera (formerly
called zygomycetes) and a variety of both hyaline and dematiaceous molds, are
commonly seen in immunocompromised patients. The class was attended by many
students online. Two students who are preparing for DCM (Dental Council of
Mauritius) exam also attended the class.
In today’s clinical class in
prosthodontics at AHEAD Academy, New Delhi, taken by senior faculty many topics
were discussed. The importance of occlusal records was emphasized. The students
were also shown different prosthodontic materials. Interocclusal records
are the means whereby the inter-arch relationships are transferred from the
mouth to an articulator. Interocclusal records are the most important
maxillomandibular records used to transfer interarch relationships from the
mouth to an articulator. Accurate interocclusal records minimize the need for
intraoral adjustments during prosthesis delivery and are essential in providing
high-quality fixed restorations and reducing overall treatment time and cost.
Ideal requirements of bite
registration material are:
• The materials should
offer limited resistance before setting to avoid displacing the teeth or
mandible during closure, whereas after setting, it should be rigid or
resilient, with minimal dimensional change.
• It should be easy to
manipulate with no adverse effects on the tissues involved in the recording
procedures.
• It should accurately record the incisal and
occlusal surfaces of teeth.
• A very important
feature - it should be verifiable.
