They practiced ART and Lession sterilization and tissue generation / 3 MIX MP for the cavities and also manual scalling. The number of patients they treated was significantly worth. They also did Public dissemination or Dental Education in Schools, integrated public health service, and Voluntary works. They worked this out with translator who’s coming from the committee. The response from community was very good since the presentations were very well mannered and performed. In the 3rd week , Participants had the Herbal and Acupuncture week. They studied bout the efficacy of Herbal medicine in dental case and acupuncture in dental pain management. They also visited herbal garden and practiced acupuncture on a patient. So good job!
