KARACHI: Believing that academic competitions are the most effective way to promote learning and instilling confidence in the students as compared to conventional grading, the Bahria University Dental College’s Department of Operative Dentistry held a presentation contest amongst the Third and Final years BDS students posted in the department as part of their rotational activity at Phantom Head Lab.
The event was organised under the patronage of the Head of Department of Operative Dentistry, Prof Dr Shama Asghar.
Presentations of Third Year students were supervised by Dr Imtiazul Haq and Dr Umeed Javaid, while Final Year students were supervised by Dr Ayesha Zafar and Dr Syed Adeel Ahmed.
The topics of the presentations covered a wide range of Operative Dentistry and Endodontic concepts, including anterior restorations, cross infection control and sterilisation, restorative and endodontic instruments, restorative materials, restoration of compromised teeth, esthetic considerations in restorations etc.
Dr Maleeha (SR Paedodontics) and Dr Aneeqa (AP Paedodontics), who were judges of the competition, not only graded the students, but also gave their valuable insight and feedback to them on their skills and encouraged them.
The contest winners were awarded certificates and the event ended on a note of encouragement for all participants from Prof Dr Shama Asghar.
