For the very first time, the section of Operative Dentistry in partnership with the University of Health Sciences, Lahore, and CIME organised an international hybrid hands-on workshop on anterior composite build up with layering technique.
The workshop was led by Dr Robia Ghafoor, consultant operative dentistry at AKUH, in collaboration with the resident team of operative dentistry. The dental simulation lab at CIME provided an opportunity to the participants to practice the technique of building anterior composite restoration in layers, utilising enamel, dentin and body shades.
Learners nationally and internationally participated in this three-hour ACCME accredited workshop which was designed as hybrid model, in order to mitigate the risk of covid spread and to facilitate the participants more effectively. Eight participants joined physically at CIME's dental simulation lab, whereas 40 joined through online. A full-range of instruments and materials were provided to the participants in the lab and same list was shared with participants (who joined online) well ahead of time, so that they can practice simultaneously in their institutional workstation.
Data gathered from the participants' self-efficacy assessment forms show that the participants' knowledge regarding understanding the composite placement technique significantly improved after participating in this workshop, which proves the usefulness of this workshop for novice dental practitioners.
