[UNLV OMS GUNNABE]

We do, but I'll be gone for it while in Boston.

Just curious, what did you do for your ortho practical? And I thought you were doing removable pros this semester not fixed? Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[Yah-E]

For ortho practicals, we bend wires to specific shapes and bends, like helix loops, activating bends, omega loops! Different thickness wires into different shapes and loops.

This entire year we had Removable and Fixed! Last semester, first semester 2nd year, we had RPD for Removable and Crowns for Fixed. This semester, 2nd semester 2nd year, we had Full dentures for Removable and Bridges for Fixed. Basically, we had an entire year of Removable and Fixed. We finished our Full-Dentures final and Practical exams last week!

Hope that clears up a bit!

Sounds like fun. How do they expect you to prepare for these exams when they feed them to you back to back for 2 weeks???

 

[Yah-E]

Many dental schools are like this, for some how, some way, they expect you to just do it! For those of us that want to specialize in Ortho, OMFS, Pedo or Endo, it's a pain in our @sses and the pressure does get to you!!

 

[dientesfuertes]

I can't believe you folks are already done! I suppose our faculty decided they needed longer to complete the torture procedure, because we still have 6 weeks of class left! Ugh.
Pray for us while you enjoy your break and/or board study time. Congrats.

 

[ItsGavinC]

dientes, we have 4 weeks left, so you aren't alone.

Bruce Paster. He does micro. Do you know him or about him? How is it there? I hope it will be worth my time.

It will be but I would think that working with someone in OMS would be better if that's what you want to do? One summer isn't very much time to do something (I worked at Forsyth for a summer). I really liked working there though, the people are all very nice and it's easy to get things (animals, supplies, reagents, dishes...) which makes for less headaches.

 

[Yah-E]

Fall semester, we started in the first week of August and for Winter semester, we started right after New Years, Jan 2nd! I know some dental school don't start until end of August and until mid-Jan for 2nd semester.

We have 18-week semesters (including a week of scheduled final exams) here at Nova!
