cookiemonster99 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hello to all the dental students reading this thread -As we move through the tough years of dental schools and accumulate clinical experience and as well as theoretical knowledge, it would be nice if we could discuss what type of work we have all done and maybe even admit some epic fail stories along the way. -It would be nice to compare clinical work across different schools so dental students across the country can see what type of clinical work is being done at different schools. -It also provides more information for pre-dents and gives them more insight to what type of clinical work they can expect from each school. Please post in a format similar to the following: x number of cleaning/hygiene x number of fillings x number of extractions x number of dentures (F/F, P/- etc) x number of crowns/bridge (G/PFM/etc) x number of endo cases (ant/post) special cases: I can't wait to hear some fail stories I'm sure we've had some dumb mistakes Rules of this thread: -Absolutely no breach of patient confidentiality -Try not to post anything unique that will reveal your identify(duh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster99 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'll start with some of my embarrassing stories 1. I forgot that cavity conditioners were supposed to be washed off so I put a layer of vitrebond over it, cured it and put GIC over that filling.......... 2. Doing a PA of the wrong side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BScDMD Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to assemble the holder for the digital sensor to take a right maxillary PA. Called an assistant to help me out and she did it in 12 seconds. Most awkward 5.2 minutes of my life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a PA of the wrong side vitrebond uses the smear layer.. shouldn't be conditioning it anyway. http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/790086O/vitrebond-liner-base-instructions-for-use-english.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ostracized Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I was asked to contribute to this thread so I'll add what I did as far as I can recall. This was UofT between 2010 and 2012. 1) too many hygiene appointments. 2) 100-150 surfaces of fillings. 3) about 50 extractions but mostly very easy ones. 4) about 5-6 dentures total (full, partial, +/- immediate) 5) 8 crowns, one bridge, one implant crown. 6) 5 endos (2 molar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koft Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Can't remember long long time ago UWO in mid 2000 Numerous hygiene appointments 150 Surfaces of fillings (Amalgam or composite) No specific number on exo 5 Crowns or bridges 2 sets of Full 1 sets of Partial 5 endo (1 upper molar and lower molar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanup Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I was asked to contribute to this thread so I'll add what I did as far as I can recall. This was UofT between 2010 and 2012. 1) too many hygiene appointments. 2) 100-150 surfaces of fillings. 3) about 50 extractions but mostly very easy ones. 4) about 5-6 dentures total (full, partial, +/- immediate) 5) 8 crowns, one bridge, one implant crown. 6) 5 endos (2 molar) To highlight the declining amount of clinical work at U of T thanks to more lax guidelines & more students with less patients: Requirements when I graduated: 1. 100 surfaces 2. 5 crowns 3. One bridge OR implant crown (a lot of people didn't do one of either and some didn't do either at all) 4. 3 RPDs (many people fell short of this) 5. 1 Complete OR immediate denture 6. 5 endos (1 of each type (molar, premolar, anterior); molar can be either upper or lower)) What people actually accomplished was a huge variance across the board because credit & patient distribution has always been broken at U of T.

McMarauder Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I too was asked to contribute to this thread. Unlike many dental schools, Melbourne did not have quotas to fulfill, but this is what I did. The experiences of Melbourne students varied wildly.-Countless Perio/Hygiene patients-Countless fillings but let's say at least 100 surfaces -1PFM, 4 ceramic onlays (Melbourne was very conservative and was against full coverage crowns when possible). -2 RPD's, no F/F -2 molar endos, 1 premolar endo (2 canals), 2 incisor endos, ->100 extractions. Vast majority of them were simple, but set a really good basis for me to do surgicals at work. This number may be high because Australian dental students train through the public dental sector, in which treatment received from a student is free, and only those from low SES qualify. As we know, low SES is correlated with poorer oral health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
