Year 2, New Year, New Block, New Class , Everything is new....

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

2^nd September 2015 remarked our first day of 2^nd year students. Felt like it was just yesterday that we first came as freshmen, and now we already became sophomores. Though some of us still in vacation mode, we still need to be back to our beloved kulliyyah and start to warm up our engine to be ready for another challenging year.

The first two days were meant for inventory. The purpose was to introduce all the instruments that we are going to play around with in the simulation laboratory. Well since 2^nd year is all about pre-clinical practices and making dentures, technically to prepare for our upcoming clinical years. We should learn all the things properly beforehand.

Each cubicle has one.

Each island has 5 cubicles. You can play work around with your own lamp, dummy, dental instruments etc.

 The first session was inventory for clinical. Each of us was given a key to our own cubicle, and also a checklist of all the dental instruments (which the author still can’t remember the names). It is the student’s responsibility not to lose anything as the costs for the instruments were quite expensive.

A drawer to keep all your instruments. Make sure to lock it before you leave it.

In the evening, another inventory session was held but this time it was for our laboratory purpose. The instruments are needed for prosthetic dentistry, which we are going to make dentures, a full one for the first two blocks and a partial one for the 3^rd and 4^th blocks.

We just started to make our own dental cast. It was a tiresome process because we have to spend most of our time in the plaster room, waiting for our turn. Next session will be more challenging I bet, but let's pray that Allah will make it easier for everyone.

Till then.
