A
65 year old lady, Mrs. Nirmala Devi visited the institute with pain in left
lower jaw. She had got extraction done
in lower jaw a few months back. On examination, a hard bony spicule was felt in
lower left region. A surgical procedure (also referred to as Alveoloplasty) was
used to smooth and reshape a patient’s jaw bone. The bone after the procedure
was smooth and rounded.
A putty index is a mold of the patient's
bite and is used to see that the wax setup is preserved in the denture. The
laboratory technicians use the shaped putty to check the restoration for
accuracy. It serves as a reference guide and used to confirm that restorations
are consistent with doctor and patient expectation. The students were explained
step by step procedure of making a putty index in Clinical Prosthodontics
class.
Many
students visit our institute from different places to prepare for foreign
exams. A student is practicing sling suture on dental manikin simulator. It is
used by students to simulate a dental patient and improve their skills. The students
get acquainted with fake dental patient, which consists of a plastic head with
a metal jaw and two full arches of teeth.
This is attached to a body that would recline in a normal position.
Clinical
course students learn extraction and different suturing techniques on patients
in presence of oral surgery faculty. A surgical extraction is in progress at
Ahead Dental institute.
A
60 year old man, Mr. Manohar Lal came to our institute with lot of brown stains
and tartar on teeth. His teeth were cleaned and polished after which the
patient was happy with his appearance.
A
student from HongKong, Dr. Sukhbir is learning various suturing techniques on dental
manikin from oral surgery staff. She is preparing for her licence exam in HongKong.
We wish her all the best and loads of success in her forth coming exam.
