cutemara Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hi, I’m really hoping someone over here can set my mind at ease. I just graduated from a US dental school and was so desperate to come back to Canada that I didn’t bother staying to do a GPR or AEGD. Please, please, please don’t take this the wrong way but I’m a bit concerned that I may not have enough experience. By the time I graduated I had completed: Complete dentures ~ 4 (one implant supported overdenture) Removable partial denture ~ 3 Bridge ~ 1, PFM crown ~ 8 Procera crown ~ 1 Implant crown restoration ~ 3 Operative ~ 54 Endo ~ 8 (no molar endo) Extractions ~ 21 (non-surgical) SRP ~ 34 quadrants Again, please don’t take this the wrong way, I just was hoping to find out if this is comparable to what you had completed by the time you graduated since I honestly don’t know.... I guess it would probably depend on the school and where it was located but even just a general idea would be great! I’m just so nervous… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ostracized Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 You are comparable to myself as a new Canadian grad. I have more than you in some areas, less in others. Your real learning experience starts when you start working. I had never cemented a space maintainer in school. In my first two months of work I did about 8.
