Studay studay studayyyy

Macam dah lama tak cerita pasal my progress in studies. Post2 lately ni, tak 2pm, jiwa kacau. Kekeke...

The studies are getting more challenging day by day. Macam banyak je at one point I don't feel like going to class and felt like giving up like that. I kept on arguing with myself to attend each and every classes and labs in order not to be left out...


OTL lab we are now doing resin composite fillings on mannikin's head. That's when things are starting to get more difficult. Like...when we are doing fillings on mounted tooth (gigi yang dicabut, lepas tu kita dirikan dia guna simen gitu lah lebih kurang) it's easy breasy cover girl~ Tapi when you are actually doing it in oral cavity, because :

• when you are doing the upper teeth, palatal side (yg sebelah dalam), you've to use indirect vision, meaning guna reflection dari mirror. Image kat mirror kan songsang. So cam selalu confused kiri kanan dia
• It's actually very tiring to use both of your hands. Like one of the hands holding mirror and the other holding the probe/fillers. Lepastu nak kena sumbat resin composite tu nak carve dia lagi!
• To sit in the lab for 3 hours, stretching out your necks and your back, omo omo omo...it's freaking tiring weh!

itu dia indirect vision. U actually have to rely on the image on the mirror to do fillings. susah wehhh...cuba try buat..potong rambut sendiri dekat cermin..agak2 konfius tak?

In prosthetic labs, we are now sticking out the teeth into the rim made. Before ni dah bentukkan wax tu jadi bentuk gusi kan..sekarang kena lekatkan lah gigi-gigi palsu diatas itu. I'm a bit left out in this session from my classmates because I had to miss one hour of the lab session twice for the football match. Tapi nasiblah our instructor, Mr JH is so nice and kept on encouraging us. Kena pula ahli kumpulan saya ini yang buat kerja laju-laju semua..mmg tertinggal habis lah saya si siput lembab ini. Tapi I'm glad I managed to catch up to be not so far from everyone..phew!

4 weeks ago bersusah payah bentukkan kepingan wax jadi bentuk ini

now we have to put on tooth onto the wax rim! susah juga nak dapatkan position gigi yang betul ya tuan2 puan2..

For clinical skills, I still haven't had my first patient yet. My lecturer is very organized that we had to go through everyting step by step.Last week saya scale gigi partner saya...and he said I'm his first dentist ever. T____T Agak-agak cuak disitu. Boleh bayangkan tak betapa banyaknya calculus yang terkumpul? Dah lah nervous, complex case pula ini . Mulut dia dah berdarah-darah and I kept on confusing between the calculus and the gum. JANGAN TAKUT SEMUA INI CASE COMPLEX SAHAJA AND BLEEDING IS NORMAL OKAYH. KEKEKE..SAYA TAKUT BAKAL2 PATIENT SAYA LARI INI :P

my "patient's" case is grade 3. Moderate yet still not easy to remove!

Haish...gotta keep on going strong. Mesti kena tabah mesti!
