now lets come to the dental treatment now.

i studied from khyber college of dentistry, here a bds spends the entire year unlike the previous years. A dental student starts his clinical work from 3rd year and spends clinical hours in prosthodontics oral surgery and periodontics. Kcd is comprised of 4 major and 3 minor wards. majors include prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery and conservation (operative dentistry). and minors include periodontics, oral medicine and peadodontics. although introduction of prosthodontics and oral surgery are started in 3rd year, like one has to make removable partial dentures in prosthodontics and one has to take impressions and above all a student gets exposed to real humans and in oral surgery a students learns how to give a local anesthesia (infiltration and mandibular block). and introduction of periodontics among the minors also starts in 3rd year which includes scaling and root planning, oral prophylaxis, brushing techniques and various diseases whose oral manifestions are seen in mouth like we saw many patients of lichen planus a dermatological (skin) disease. we have 4 batches in 3rd and final years each is comprised of 12-13 students.
so when our lectures were finished our batch had to go to prosthodontics, as we went there or demonstrater explained us the whole procedure and told us bring a partial denture patients from the waiting area section, so me a my freind went outside in search of patients, luckily we found a old man who was partially dentate like he only had 5-6 teeth in both jaws, we brought him to the dental chair andour demonstrater took impression from him, he showed us how to mix aliginate. and the whole process started. i still remember my first patient he was a young fellow 22 years of age he had a missing premolar, my first partial denture was very high like it wasn't properly made, like i said it was high means i had to grind up the whole tooth so only then it will fit in occlusion.it was very funny but my patient said its OK i don't mind, as its your first case. I'll make another one. and then slowly gradually i learned how to make a partial denture.
