Work of a dentist...

ODS & PROSTHO

well, this week has been really very hectic.....

Cavity preaparation lectures have already begun and my long awaited phantom jaw finnaly arrived today......

the phantom jaw is basically made up of an upper and lower set of teeth...

where later on holes must be made to make a cavity preparation....

willl explain more after i get to that class....

moving on to Prosthodontics....

i finnaly completed one tooth set...and taken the denture....
it took me a seriously long long time to arrange the teeth in order and make sure it has an occlusion, overjet and overbite.....

let me clear that up for u people

occlusion- arrangement of teeth in the perfect arrangement and order

overjet- horizontal overlap of front 4 teeth on lower 4 teeth

overbite-vertical overlap of front 4 teeth on lower 4 teeth..

i have included pics of my work....enjoy!!!!
