Had a long day at Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Department for both morning & afternoon clinical sessions.
Morning
I love giving injections! :P
Learnt how to utilise the empty extraction socket of the adjacent removed root for removal of the other retained root of the same tooth.
Lesson of the day: never give up trying again on my own before switching on the red light too quickly to ask for help from the supervisor =) Self-confidence is very essential in whatever we do in our life, as long as we know whatever we are doing is correct & ethical :)
My partner had a very interesting case today. We were lucky to have an orthodontist who happened to be at the OMFS department at that time & was very willing to come over to give her opinion & teach us :)
In the end, other Oral Maxfac surgeons, General Dental Practice specialist, Dental Surgical Assistant, etc. also came to our cubicle to have a look at the patient :P
I cannot disclose further details to protect the patient's privacy :)
It's nice to see specialist of various specialties come together to discuss about a case & share their opinions. It's really an eye-opener to me :)
Stood for more than 3 hours :'(
Afternoon
Had minor oral surgery session. Stood for another 2 hours, hardly see a thing due to the small oral cavity of Homo sapiens >.<
