Students Quote about Convocation Ceremony

Dr. Terasa Mao,Best Outgoing Dental Graduate2009 - 2014 Batch

� of �5 49

I never envisioned myself as a dentist, but fate proved otherwise. To study in Saveetha Dental College, I couldn't have asked for a better introduction into the world of dentistry. Spending 5 years in this prestigious institution has really moulded me to work, dream and achieve big without limits. As Saveetha graduates we are truly a cut above the rest in the outside world. What better way to say goodbye to my Alma Mater than a wonderful convocation where every student was called onto the stage. It was truly an experience of a lifetime.

Graduating is an amazing feeling and to graduate from Saveetha Dental College, the best dental school in Asia is by far the biggest thing that has happened in my life. The moment you receive your degree is like OMG FINALLY…!!! We felt that this is the end of it, but believe me, life has just begun, and i believe that being a part of Saveetha Dental College makes it easy to survive in this ultra competitive world. Congratulations to all those who have graduated with us and all the best to all our juniors. Do Well..!! Cheers…!! 😇

Dr. Nabeel Ahmed,Saveetha Dental CollegeBatch of 2014

We all came from different backgrounds, cultures, and each of us has a different story of how we got here. But we were all most fortunate to be made comfortable as part of the Saveetha. We are all well prepared to move on and to take on whatever challenges comes our way. This is all because of the training what we received from the Best Dental College.

Students Academic Council Meet

Students Academic Council Meet was held on 19-03-2015 at the office of Associate Dean of Academics. I BDS students actively participated in the above said meeting. The feedback on Group Teaching Methodology from the students point of view had been discussed. Students also expressed that periodical class tests being conducted helps them in systematic planning and orientation towards syllabus.

We found that opportunities if provided to the students under guidance, opens a new dimension in their thinking capability. It also imparts responsibility to the students for their studies from their part. Of course, our Teaching Methodology relies on “Two-Way Communication Method rather than One Way Communication”. This results in learning rather than provision of information i.e bombardment of students with lots of information.

Learning is a outcome, which results from delivery of specific information, listening, active participation, interpretation and decision making based on the current scenario. We have started a long journey in this noble endeavour. Everything begins with a "single first step" and we look forward in reaching higher.

REVIEW ON DODGE BALL  

- Only one team can be registered from each batch. 

- Each team must consist of 5 members (3 girls & 2 boys). 

- The game will be carried out in the basketball court. 

- There are 6 balls, split into 2 even groups near the ends of the centre line. During the opening rush (when the game starts), you may only grab the balls to your right.

- You are out if: 1) you step on or over a side line or centre line; 2) a thrown live ball hits your body; and 3) you throw a live ball and it is caught by an opponent.

A thrown live ball can only hit out 1 player. Thrown balls that hit the ground, the wall, other balls, or other objects before hitting the opponent are considered dead balls, and are ineligible to hit players ouYou may block a thrown ball with a held ball. However, if you drop the blocking ball during the act of blocking, or if you fail to make a clean block (as in the thrown ball still ends up hitting or grazing your body afterwards), you are out. - If you are out, line up on the side in the order you got out (think of it as being in an

“resurrection” line). If your teammate catches a ball, the player at the start of your team’s “resurrection” line comes back into play after touching the wall (the teammate

must be in the line at the time of the catch to be eligible to be brought back in).

Cultural’s A Preview

• You can only hold a ball for 10 seconds, afterwards, it will be considered dead. Dead balls need to be rolled over immediately to the other team.

• If the game comes down to 1 player per side, they have 10 seconds to hit each other out; if not, "Showdown" comes into effect. The game is paused, each player gets two balls, two balls are lined up at the ends of the centre line, and the centre line is dissolved. The first player to get the other player out wins.

• Have fun, shake hands, make friends and be spirited!

IRON MAN  

• The number of participants from each batch can be a maximum of 2. • Participants will be instructed to perform a number of challenges involving

strength, speed and agility.•   The participant  who completes  all  the challenges in the shortest period of

time is declared as the winner.

SEVEN STONES

Each team will have 7 participants.• Each players will have 3 chances to the hit the stones.• If all the players miss their chances to hit the stones, the opponent will get the next

turn to hit the stone and awarded 2 bonus points.• The team which hit the stones will have 7 minutes to re-build the stones and at the

same time preventing from getting hit by the opponents.• If the team successfully rebuild the stones, 5 points will be awarded. At the same

time, one point will be given to the opponent for each time they eliminate the player by hitting them with the ball.Players who got hit by the ball would be sent out during that half.

Career Development In Dentistry (Part I)

“Career Development is the lifelong process of managing learning, work, leisure, and transitions in order to move toward a personally determined and evolving preferred future.” It connects education, training pathways, and its application with employment prospects. Saveetha Dental College in this aspect, have nine additional subjects in the field of dentistry, to enable our students to shine in their career. In this regard, the following article enlightens us the application of behavioural sciences and Fundamentals of Dentistry, additional subject thought in I BDS in the career of dentistry in students own words.

Behavioural Science in DentistryBy Ms. Fiby Mary Philip (CRRI)

One day a patient entered into our clinic, he looked well educated, quiet fluent with his language, well dressed, and I was quite excited to treat a patient, who was very elite. But to my surprise, he literally cried to me, when I asked about his monthly income, as he was broke and narrated the tale of his downfall to me, while I had to patiently listen to him before I could even examine and diagnose his dental problems and convince him for treatment.

Similarly I had faced many incidents such as a women who may be a victim of domestic violence, a child patient who had undergone child abuse, an old lady who was left orphan by her children. And as I sit back and recall those events, I wonder how I would have managed those patients if I wasn’t equipped with the knowledge from the subject Behavioural Science, which we were taught in our first year.

Career Development In Dentistry (Part I)

I always used to wonder, ‘Psychology deals with human minds and in dentistry we deal with teeth. What is the connection between teeth and mind?”, but gradually as years passed by and I entered into clinical practice, my queries got answered as I was at owe of this subject which helped me to deal with many of my patients psychological point of view and in improving their quality of life rather than focusing on treatment alone. This subject taught me that every individual who steps into my clinic are not mere patients but human beings and they have a mind which controls their emotions which ultimately governs their attitude towards the treatment.

Besides persuading a patient for treatment, building a good rapport over and bonding is more important, which is possible by connecting to them emotionally especially child patients, who rely upon the trust and comfort level we communicate to them. And all this is achievable, because of the knowledge of behavioural science, which guides us about the different milestones of development in an individual, and helps us to identify fixation at any stage of development, thereby dealing with the patient accordingly.

So a grand salute to the great scholars and psychologists such as Sigmund Freud, Erikson, Ivan Pavlov and many others, who committed their entire life in learning human minds and bestowing great break through at every leap of behavioural science.

I feel, by learning behavioural science in detail as an individual subject I am fulfilling my ethical commitment in treating patient as a whole, rather than treating the problem alone.

Fundamentals of Dentistry

Airway syringe??! Hand piece?! What’s all this?!By Ms. Prathusha S (CRRI)

Stepping into Dental School is a life-changing moment for all of us. Eyes wide with bafflement, we’ve all gone through those clueless initial days when all this was new, exciting, unfamiliar, yet confusing. That was the point when Fundamentals of Dentistry came as a Tarot Card to our future dental practice. It was our guiding path to understanding the littlest aspects of dentistry. Although just an additional subject in our first year, this has shaped our clinical practice on so many levels.

Knowledge about anything starts at the very roots, in this case, the history of dentistry and of course, our dental chair. How many of us would have actually known all the parts of the dental chair unit, had it not been for this subject? Learning about chair positions helped us work like professionals in pre-clinical and eventually, our clinical.

Moving on to bigger things, we were exposed to the various dental specialties, the instruments used and the procedures done. Having learnt about intraoral examination and biopsies made our work in Oral Pathology much easier. Dental caries, restorations, materials and Endodontic procedures, scalers and ultrasonics in Periodontics, suturing in Oral Surgery, differences in primary and permanent dentition and milestones of development in Pedodontics, impression making and types of prosthesis in Prosthodontics, types of malocclusions and treatment options in Orthodontics, were all made familiar to us through Fundamentals of Dentistry. Applying this during clinical exposure hours paved the way for a deeper understanding.

It would be apt to say that by investing 6 months into Fundamentals, we have reached lifelong benefits in our professional life!

Health Is Wealth

“A man is born gentle and weak”. At death he is hard and stiff. Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At death they are withered and dry. Therefore, the stiff and unbending is the disciple of Death and the gentle and yielding is the disciple of life!! – Lao Tzu

Green tea & its 10 proven benefits!!

Though green tea and black tea are prepared from the same plant, there are quite a few significant differences between them. Green tea leaves are not fermented and hence doesn’t go through the oxidation process that black tea undergoes, making it rich in (EGCG) EPIGALLACTOCATECHIN GALLATE, a popular antioxidant!!

1. Since it doesn’t undergo oxidation, more polyphenols are preserved which serves as powerful antioxidants!

2. It contains less caffeine than coffee enough to produce an effect. It contains l-theanine which works with caffeine to improve brain function.

3. Green tea increases fat burning, improves physical performance, lowers your risk of becoming obese ( Interesting!! )

4. Pure organic green tea creates a detoxifying effect, giving you a glowing skin (Ladies !! take a look at this).

5. Antioxidants in green tea may lower the risk of various types of cancer.6. Green tea may protect your brain in old age lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s

and Parkinson’s.7. Green tea can kill bacteria, which improve dental health, lower the risk of

infection and bad breath. 8. Green tea reduces the risk of type II diabetes.9. Green tea reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.10. Green tea boosts your metabolism and immunity.

To Make the perfect green tea - Bring 220ml water to 80°C. Add two grams of green tea leaves. Let it sit for three minutes. Strain and serve. Do not add anything. If want add honey! but definitely not sugar. Do not boil the leaves along with water, as they lose the antioxidant properties. Don’t have the tea in an empty stomach. Better to take during lunch breaks, before exercise or half an hour before any meal !!

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” - Jim Rohn

GO GREEN!! CHEERS!!

“10 Years A University” -A Historical Dialogue

Straight out of school, we were suddenly pushed into ocean of dentistry, few love dentistry, others pushed into by parents and some couldn't enter medicine so ended up into Dentistry.

First day in college after a formal inauguration ceremony, all our parents felt so upbeat to put their sons and daughters in a dental school. Flinging new white coats around the neck and showing off, so many new faces but few smile back at you, crushes so soon u hardly know their name.

And soon we sink into reality, a classroom filled with 100 students and our professor dissecting cadaver. Many fainted and I was one among them, so many new books, new instruments and for our batch there were these new subjects introduced to add to our disbelief. �

Fundamentals of dentistry, clinical psychology, dental armamentarium, forensic odotontology, imagiology, medical emergency, Esthetic Dentistry and Implantalogy. Moving on with our classes, the first thing that comes to my mind is the post-lunch lectures, Aaahhh..!! What can I say...!! It used to be heaven with air conditioning just perfect for siesta, but suddenly "chalk bullets" would come firing on us and try waking us up!!!! But frankly saying it hardly had any effect..!!! Lol..!!

Don't want (Few days passed by, got the news our batch was gonna be divided into 2 sub-batches, crushes were already getting crushed.

Then we entered the world of pre-clinical Dentistry…!!!!

Cubes of plaster, days of sand papering, powdering the casts, soaking in soap solution and keeping in fridge to get the finish, running between departments, bending wires to make them and to roll them was almost impossible. Tooth carving would check ur dexterity and also your maximum patience threshold.!!! Phantom head with teeth from Kilpauk graveyard were given resistance and retention forms. Few Heroes were born who would help the damsel in distress of getting their lab work done.!! Mass bunking went unnoticed initially then one fine day in middle of a movie all the brave souls were called back and blasted.

“10 Years A University” -A Historical Dialogue

How can anybody forget the batch trips to Wayanad, Munnar and other parts

of Kerala, ours was the first batch of the Deemed University, so we were the guniea pig batch, semester system was introduced. Competition was at the peak during exam times but we're constantly bombarded with weekly tests, terminals and finally the semesters (again introduced freshly for Us)We all started the year with distinction in mind, by the time exams near it used become just pass would be enough.

Now it was time for the clinical part

Though we got used to the clinical setup by being posted in the clinics during our 1st and 2nd years as a part of clinical exposure, treating a patient was a whole new experience .

Our first extraction cases is something none of us can easily forget, blood for the first time. That's when u feel like a Doctor...!!! � Quota completion used to be in full flow just prior to our exams to get the no due. Amrita and JK shop became our everyday shopping destination for instruments.

From the daily mundane activities of looking into the mouth, Utsav (our culturals) came as a proof, there are other things to see apart from the oral cavity. For 2-3 weeks the whole college would be like a battle field among batches, with names befitting a Greek war zone (titans ,crusaders,azonics,mystics,warriors,stunners ,maverick ,millennium star ,friends etc etc), Sports and stage events are fought like epic battles.

New romances blossom during cultural, as guys flex their muscles on stage in muscle mania and girls scorch the ramp during fashion show. Ultimately winners are crowned but the usual story of biased results continues well into next few months.

Entering final year was the ultimate battle with 8 tanks + 2 canons pointed straight at you. On top of that quota to make few hairs turn grey. Final year was an experience of a lifetime which you can always be proud of but never dream of being in that ever again. Motivation of the green pasture of internship on the other side of the treacherous valley of final year keeps us going. Staffs and seniors played an integral part in passing knowledge assimilated by them, also the tricks to tackle tricky situations. Even among all this tight lectures and clinical op time we still managed to sneak out to Sundar theatre for a few movies.

“10 Years A University” -A Historical Dialogue

After the long awaited results, finally entering internship with CRRI badges and full sleeved coats gave a new high. We used to love doing so many cases with confidence and also took up challenging cases with help of staffs and Post Graduates. Transalveolar, Impaction , Molar Root Canal Treatment, to name a few. How can anyone forget the camps organised by the Community Department, especially the one at puzhal jail for convicts or the Anti Tobacco rally held at the breezy marina, then came the beginning of the end, completing Internship.

Many started planning about their future, few of us had decided the only place to do our Post Graduate was in Saveetha. So after our convocation in March, around 18 of my batch mates joined various Post Graduate courses in Saveetha. It was a clear indication of the students love for the college, parents faith on the staffs and management.

So the second innings in Saveetha opened at dept of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics. A major advantage in our department is the huge number of cases we get each day, so enormous that at times it frustrating. But when we think of our colleagues cries in other colleges fighting for cases then that cheeky grin pops in our face.

Seminars and Journal Discussions was conducted every week to keep us abreast with recent studies around the globe, conferences and conventions were the time for fun filled education. We are drilled both clinically and academically, mentally and physically with just one motive to make us the best in our chosen field. Compared to our Undergraduate days, during our post graduation the whole batch becomes a family. Student staff ratio reduces statistically in post graduation as a result more individualised attention is given to the post graduate students.

As Post grads we were introduced to new concept of ABMS- applied basic medical science which was a lot useful and easier as compared to repeating the mundane basic sciences subjects all over again . Other newer subjects were the bio stats and research methodology, helped us to understand any article better and our frequent visits to biostatician reduced statistically.

“10 Years A University” -A Historical Dialogue

Combo clinics made their entry during this period, it was a boon for the patients as well as the students. Patients got their comprehensive treatment done at the same place without the need of hopping from department to department and undergrads started doing unimaginable number of treatment procedures. We were so envious about the undergraduates placing implants, which we missed in our undergrad days.

We were really fortunate and the first batch to work on Carl Zeiss microscopes during our post graduate course, countless CDE program's were conducted and attended by Post Graduates. Healthy competition was seen among the Post Graduates with so many best papers and posters won by our friends. Almost all my batchmates had minimum of 1-2 publication. Our research work were periodically reviewed by Saveetha Review Board and ethical committee to keep us streamlined.

Final exams were fast approaching and filled our minds with both anxiety and stress, but our faculties who have been so strict all these while became so caring and help us sail smoothly over the exam.

My third innings in Saveetha started as a senior lecturer in department of conservative dentistry. It was such a nice feeling to work at the same place you graduate from only a few would have experienced that.

Again a new set of innovative learning concepts were introduced with activities (20min) in between lectures to keep the students awake. Activities ranged from POGIL, Scale up , concept mapping, jig saw, role play, pedagogy, flipped class ,my personal favourite game based learning.

Modern Infrastructure was evident from the time anybody enters the campus.From RVGs in all clinics with beautifully designed and practical cabinet spaces , Loupes with LED lights for all students and smart boards in lecture halls, iPad based app for taking classes and approving the cases done by students, Education and technology has grown hand in hand at Saveetha dental for sure.

“10 Years A University” -A Historical Dialogue

Highlight of my staff career was to be a part of the Guinness attempt for conducting Screening dental camp for over one lakh students across India in over 70 centres. I was part of a team which went to Bangalore and nor did we just break the previous record by Colgate in China but set up a mammoth record of 101309 screenings in a day.

Getting my undergraduate degree , masters degree ,a job and finding my soulmate in Kirubha, I can say with assurity My alma mater is home away from home.

RAY OF HOPE - OUT OF REACH !!! (Ms Janani . B CRRI)

In a recent time report, ahead of world TB day, Medicines Sans Frontiers and International NGO says though new drugs are introduced for multi -drug resistant TB they remain largely out of reach for patients. 24th March 2015 is observed as “World Tuberculosis Day”. This awareness article slams makers of anti-tuberculosis drugs for adopting obscure practices.New drugs were produced by leading firms for multi-drug resistant(MDR) TB.

The present regimen has four drugs – Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol. Most patients were found to develop resistant for the first line treatment.

In India, it is nearly impossible to manage multi drug resistant TB cases. According to World Health Organisation, 61000 people in India are living with MDR- TB, with only half of them identified. Worldwide there are about 4.8 lakh people affected with MDR-TB with 30% diagnosed.

Four modern drugs – Bed-aquiline, Delamanid, Linezolid and Clofazimine – are potentially active against MDR-TB. But these drugs are either not available or frightfully expensive. A six month course of Bed-aquiline costs upto Rs.2 lakhs. Indian Government can make the drug available and affordable under special scheme.

The economic benefits of the drug makers via manufacturing life saving drugs should be passed on to the common man. With increasing number of MDR-TB cases waiting for new drugs and nearly 200,000 patients dying every year from MDR-TB the approaches by the drug developers has to be patient focused. This can be achieved only by proper diagnostic methods which will aid in identifying the prevalence of MDR-TB cases and providing them with the new regimen of drugs.

Lets all join our hands in making Tuberculosis free India.

A Thought To Share And To Think

One day, a son 👦 came to his father for an advise - Dad! I cant do it, he

said - those practises only exhaust me😪 !! and the result doesn't change. It must be not

destined for me to play football and my dream will never come true 😞

The father 👨 looked at his son with loving eyes 😍 and said, “ you know son,

every person in life has a dream🙇 , a goal, a wish! They are the ones who make us do

what we are doing, because its what we should do. We have to fight 👊 for what we

believe in, what we feel. In other case, u will simply break💔 once and for all, as thought

you were never there. The easiest way is to quit 😫 everything and not to go until the end,

because the path is difficult and we are not used to inconveniences🙅 . We want

everything to be easy and at ONCE! 👆 . But the wishes are fleeting!! this is how our

dream dies, and the goal becomes UNREACHABLE!🚫

Gradually, life becomes a routine🚶 without death and meaning. Then one

day, we try to forget and start everything from the beginning👆 .We wait for a new day to

make our life different! but new obstacles 😁 come in our way, and we stop again✋ . We

become full of despair 😓 and anger😡 for our own impotence….. But you only need to

remember one thing - NEVER GIVE UP👍 ,FIGHT THE BATTLE!!💪 It doesn't matter that

u have lost one battle and even dozens of it. life goes on💭 !! Your biggest enemies are

hiding in you - laziness😴 ,fear😨 , doubt😳 , indecision😕 .

BE A WARRIOR OF YOUR DREAM😇
