my name is Miss Covina and assistant principal of health careers in science today we are showcasing dental lab technician program so we have two instructors present mr. Burris the instructor of Junior dental lab technician program she's presenting on today with his Junior students and also we have this present I'm going to give the mic to mr. thank you good morning everybody welcome welcome to the dental lab technology for today's presentation are we going to start by looking at too short videos these videos YouTube and they really tell a good story about our program as an overall bases I'm going to share my screen tell if you are unable to hear the video for some reason are we have been having a little bit of trouble with there are captions where you can read and this particular video I'll place the links online so that you can also find a link slate and then I'll go over some of the video if you have questions about a video you can write them down and then we'll answer them after the first one okay so I know the sound of that is not very good however from the beginning you see this building and its cause was it the moment this student is showing herself working at a desk where she is making a full denture upper and lower she is she was setting the teeth in place that's one of the tasks that we will do in the 11th grade and then she go on to mention the fact that there are many different areas to dental lab technology on this crown and Bridge work and there is implants work and so forth and you would specialize in one of these are within dental technology so there are many areas but you learn all the areas of the later time you specialize in one area of the other they'll also some of the things that you see her working on there she's working on Daikin custom trays and in one instance she was making a custom tray with acrylic and she was crying in that down in another instant she was being making a model and she was trimming the model on the bottle trimmer those are just some of different tasks that we do I want to try this other video I know you guys are not turn it exceptionally well and then I'll give you a brief overall presentation for the entire program let's see how this one plays I'm sorry I missed cover do you want to say something no no u okay so here you see this sound technician she is working on a full denture upper is a full denture in the lower to be a partial that she's working on almost about technicians in most legit go to you'll see them sitting at a desk bike there's they device where the Dentures mounted on the yellow apartments near that is a fanatical the Dentures will be mounted on the articulator on the model and then they will dare try to recreate the structure of the mouth the one of the things that she's bringing out there's a fact that you have to be everything has to be done very accurately all we owe everything is going mental patients now that we are at the restore the proper function of their mouth and I was wanting to look as natural as possible so there's a lot of detail work involved but most of it is Hands-On work at where you'll be sculpted I can duplicate nature itself skip that she just saw there she's work turn on Copans which is fraud and Bridge work which you will do in the senior year in the 11th year would focus most on dentures in the senior year you focus on Brown Bridge Road we'll talk about the details later on play Celeste two very good points that she roll out their first of all workers have to be to be able to pay attention to bury my new detailed there are a lot of scientific processes involved so you do need to know about the science of materials that you working with and of the different mixtures that you may have to do we at times after melt metal that you saw they were just doing the air and it will show you some work later on we are you know we have crowns and bridges and so forth in metal gold and you have to have an eye for detail you to have to have good manual dexterity so you have to be able to work with your hands in those are the skills that we would develop in the lab Gollum tell us another one of the unique things about dental technology you don't necessarily have to work only in the laboratory setting you can work on the manufacturing side you can work on the supply side are different areas within the field once you have the basic foundational skills and knowledge where you can be employed Okay so one of the thing most of our technicians once you've met all the skills and receive your license are then a lot of tetanus start to go out and open laboratories on their own and that's not very difficult to do however there are a lot of small labs all around and in some states within the United States can't you are actually license to work in the mouth also so depends on what state you working with the extent to which you will work directly with the patient so real quickly let me give you an overview and then I'll open up for my students to talk to you guys Istanbul you guys were asking the questions you may have so again this is Dental Laboratory technology one of the reasons that I use this power points because we are apart of the medical field we work with the work with the dentist work with hygienist work directly with the patient from time to time so some of the things you saw in the videos there were technician from fabricating Dentures here we start see this man and whether it be by accident or a play this doesn't really matter there are times that things happen to people and their oral cavity becomes not very pleasing to look at and so our job is technicians is to restore that as close to normal as possible so that patients smile will be restored their self-esteem will be restored and also we were storing the oral helping function this particular picture here is an example of a denture has been invested this is actually something that was done in the laboratory with our students and it shows all the teeth in place on the rugae to the front of the mouth to all job history what happens to the patients and sometimes that confidence that we were snoring and making their mouth beautiful again is at times more important to them than just so you know the oral function is everything this particular picture is showing completed denture upper and lower and it's a long process to get to this stage but the Stevens enjoy the different processes as they go along and they learn different different materials and the prince structures of the mouth and so forth as they go along and fabricating the same problem here we have implants and this is a technique is Nepal the industry that very popular right now people don't want to have dentures that have to be removed sometimes you may see people as we're indentured servants blown out their mouth implants allow those Dentures to stay in the Amalfi apartment places where they can eat play one to the Bone State Warriors or corn they want this really matter and it won't fall out of their mouths are we don't do in plastic at Clara Barton or whatever if you look at the Denture itself this is what we do at Clara Barton so the only difference regular denture and implant is how it's retained in the oral cavity okay so the skills that we are teaching our students to Clara Barton will give them the foundation to go in a laboratory and be able to do and so forth and here doesn't this look lovely here we have in this which Regus can speak to this later on the next section that we do it by blonde for the sea where is Crown and Bridge work this work down here to the bottom of the stone and plaster articulation this is an actual case that was done by osteons to Clara Barton however when we have a small that is not so very pretty or cavities develop along the gingival are in the mouth it is our job as a technician to make it beautiful again and we do that true crime Bridge work at times where we just rufino's doing pounds for intersection of posterior or Bridge work for those of you may not be familiar with the term crown and Bridge these are crowns where we are replicating the NAT me up a single tooth or a number of teeth and they fit exactly over where that say bless this on the other side of the bridge work where they had actually have a missing so we'll build a crown on tooth Batman cheats on the side where the missing teeth and then we will have a crown in the middle also and that's called the bridge where are you see some gold work done in Bridge and as you saw in the video where they were melting things that was very hot and they were Melton I don't know where the metal they were melting but they were mailed in some type of metal and that metal with them be cast into the shape Jamaican comedy experts Beastie that have to be waxed so when you in the senior year still didn't spend a lot of time learning the enemy of the teeth and they wax up the various teeth that need to learn how to wax of all the teeth and serious and posterior and then those will be either cast into metal or it can be done in all the forms also we don't just work on the teeth this top picture here is a model where you have feelings have to learn how to prepare these models before they can build a crown or bridge that goes on what is a lot of work side work detail work that goes into the fabrication of these prophecies that you don't necessarily see in the end product are we have a picture of the anatomy of the tooth intern an external nose Anatomy that's something that we focus on quite a lot you didn't need to know about the oral cavity and all the anatomy and soap with it's not just a Hands-On but I'm behind the materials and also Anatomy on as well classroom we have students work in various groups usually group of three or two here we have a picture of the others they're working are there built-in fabricating models are there yeah man, would you like to talk about this picture but in that picture we're making pasta motto and pasta is powder when it's mixed with water that hardens and it forms like a stone like investment or model so when you're mixing plaster living too much water because that is going to be iniquity and you don't want to ask you last quarter because I was going to say sorry so you're not going to be able to make it going to pour it in you don't want it to her bubble you cuz if there's bubbles that means there's holes in the bottle so you could come out thank you this some of the things that I still have to learn which may seem even silly it sometimes but something is coming into me to learn how to work with the Bunsen burner they need to learn how to call Imagine turn on and be able to light Bunsen burner they need to learn how to work with wax need to learn how to work with the various tools and equipment that we have so all of these are foundational skills that we change that labels for them as they go into the work setting and I'm going to end this videos with bear and I'll come back around here where's that we do have some material that we have posted online but Brian would you like to talk to her I was stealing your experience in the lab and the project on talk about accepting please and during this project is great at first because it seems not to be alive. I'm staring way and when did not align the same way like you're going to struggle throughout the project so yes list of mr. Berry steps and correcting mistakes okay Miss Rodriguez would you like to say anything about the it's the work that the students do in the senior year sure you were you showing before the bridge the bridge work and in the beginning in the Ford Focus just like thank you and did you hear that focus on doing our models preparing model sparked the difference that disciple models are and also in our folding chairs they're making models for All Pro restoration of the food miles in London Bridge with two sections lights on. On. A picture separate percentage and Quantum bridge is very detailed Chase has Dentures this one is cosmetic dentistry so we are restoring or functions Wheels restoring FedEx in our we are restoring or so patients comfort and confidence because you can imagine what it's like to walk around with an unpleasant looking you in your mouth your teeth and your eyes other things people focus the most when they look at you we do first or the section the board show you that I was Suleiman until you see on TV restoration of permanent then we to the posterior teeth which is done the molars and we focus on very fine detail work on wax and then the section that Boris show you they will melting metal we do that and that's a great idea of foot grounding metal like a beautiful gold crown that he show you and you should do the base for the person watching the porcelain is material that shows exactly the look just like the one that he showed me for so you start with Boris Boris inside the kindergarten teacher right before he died do you like the kindergarten teacher teaches student one-by-one how to write how to do The Decemberists does the same thing which I give him a lot of credit you have to be very patient to to deal with me lemons because when you go in there you don't know anything I will see you and the group is always bigger than the group can I get out of here but I'm very patient and and this wisdom to work with all of you and little by little you'll learn how they work with a Bunsen burner and you were to deal with the consistency of the wax and the way you come to me how many percentage of skills and then we go into more detail but we are there to help you guys out it's nothing to be afraid of my guys yes set alarm for 4 text message regas are you there yes sir and you talk about some of the safety that we are required to contain in the classroom with air and nails and working with equipment and software Okay so I know what it feels like to have like long hair and stuff like that and have the hair like all out but in the line you need to take safety precautions you always have a scrunchie to have your hair up in a bun or ponytail or something so they don't get trapped in the machines are whatever and for the nails as it goes no long nails because when you're using most of the equipment and the machinery's it gets really close if it gets trapped inside a machine I can be really bad so vernazza safety hazard thank you. And they should know it would you like to share your including everything else on safety within the lab Mike find hotels map like with friends. Because everything so yeah and with a safety precautions you always have to wear your lab coat because it's easy to get wax on your clothes and you know kind of hard to come out I mean not really but like soda and goggles depending on what you're doing like if we're making models you should wear goggles so nothing goes near okay thank you Miss Covina like to open it up for questions that's point yes go ahead all the temporary students who are a part of the show Casey asks you if you would like or if you could include I can kind of mr. Brice what do you think what skills would make you successful in the dental lab technician program because it's a two-year program and you if you're starting you know and your junior year and 2 + edema what skills would make you successful the first thing that still needs to be able to do anime seem very simple and it's to follow instruction and sometimes instructions from people and you know we want to jump over from Step a two-step C and the work that we do and requires that you followed those detail instructions in those produced The Best Buy product for that patient and to make sure that is not harmful to the patient so following instructions is going to be keeping the second thing is you have to be able to pay attention to detail take for instance just one to if it is more than 30 different arch in back almost a hundred different parts of it too when we are replica that we need to be able to duplicate each section so that when the teeth of crew together they will they will be able to function properly I made probably can cause severe pain to the patient or damage to the underlying tissues and so paying attention to those details is also crucial within the classroom it take some time to develop those skills in your Kansas bike sculpting know if anyone has ever skull but it will take some time if you ever try to draw if you're not an artist and you start to draw you made your stick figure but over time you'll develop to the point where you can juul someone person speech is very well so you have to also have patient in order to learn the skills that you need to be able to manipulate all the various materials to do what you need to do thank you so much I actually have a question for our June years it was a question for Miss father man to the Juniors and us to the junior student what made you choose Dental Mission program we can start with Brian then fall of Sean wants to chime in go ahead which I mean is well what made you choose deal T because for example with Brian eyes was giving him and his parents actually at or around dental technician program before he actually had made that decision because I believe Brian was deciding between dental assistant and dental abscess which leads me actually to the second question from his father might as well if I know I want to be a dentist should I do then selects ignition program or dental assistants so first let's starts with what Q dental lab technician program guide I chose dental lab technician because it was a more Hands-On major out of all the other majors and also like I'm not that I'm not a social person so low dental assistant is not for me at all so that's the reason why I chose text I chose Dental Lab I wanted like a hands-on experience and I want to try something new and I'm glad with my decision very good thank you DJ what's up what's up why did you choose your major hi and I I chose this major because I got caught my eye and I know that I wanted to be in the dental field so and I'm really interested in a way so thank you so much and Kareem you are very quiet person right and do you want to kind of sorry to push up the spot why did you choose. Play Sasha. ever since I got braces is really interesting and I don't really like talkin talkin to people that much so like dental assistant would be my like my choice because you know they're working today I work in the most efficient like all day so I wanted to do something behind the scenes and also I'm also very creative so I feel like I was the best medicine thank you. this is another question from from Victoria what are some challenges you faced being in this major so Korean can you add can you answer that question what are some challenges you faced in this major a lot of challenges every project that I had a lot of time cuz the Indus major is as like you ever because from what we just got into the major with the rice box has the hardest project out of all like in my opinion is the artist project wax melts and it's hard to control the wax when it's your first time but I'm over time when you keep working with the wax over and over you definitely get better at Richmond with it as Mister bun it's like doing the stick figure and then over time you evolve to join a person I feel like it's the same way but it would be a lot of charges but it's okay it's how you overcome the challenges the best part perseverance and patience I believe patience is one of the rarest Lesean do you want to share your challenges you faced being in this major animal challenge is also I like my biggest one was when we had to start making our dentures that was the hardest for me and that you would have a lot of patience for because I got mad so many times but I still push through and I was able to say very good thank you so I missed the birth of what would be your recommendation for the students are who wants to become a dentist and wants to go cannot decide where the dental lab is a good major or dental assistant because I was going to say if you how to be a dentist dental assistants is the pathway do you agree with that or disagree be hostile mute yourself dental assistant that provided great opportunity for them to work directly with the patient and with the dentist and see how things how they function within that environment however one of the things that you have to learn also is anatomy which we also focus a lot on in dental lab I do believe they go through a. Where they do have to learn about dentures in the making Dentures crown and Bridge work in fact some of our technicians not from the school but owners they go around to different parts of the country they teach the dentist about the how they have to be done you have to have an intricate knowledge of how we function in the laboratory setting and how we fabricate things so if they're going to go into down the street by the one I think we'll give him a big boned Clemson logo on it just depends on the experience they want to have the they want to have an experience where they were actually learning the skills that they may need to use as a dentist or are we supposed to give them that but they want to learn more the patient side how to deal with the patient assistance line thank you so much and we're going to just ended was that question what do you need to do to maintain your spot in Dental left ignition program to stay in the program till senior year basically I think you farted what makes you successful directions and really full feeling every project if there is seeing you today till the ants correct would you want to add anything else first of all I always tell my students as they come into the major and the get started I say be ready to fail you learn from your failures don't be afraid of failing so don't come the mentality of you know I can't been paying until the senior year in October came around we had to do that with Brian and you know because of the overwhelming but again I take my time I don't push you beyond your limits will I push you to your limit if you're willing to in your and focus on the assignment then you will succeed one of the things that prevent steel from succeeding in stating they're coming into the laboratory setting and I just going to make Dentures or the Hands-On portion but there's also a lot of scientific Fortune there a lot of portfolio Simonson stuff with that they do have to complete and if you're not doing your balance and everything that you're doing and not just the hands on the doing the homework make sure you passing the exams make sure you learn the anatomy making sure you learn materials Daniel probably not going to make it so you know they requires a bit more I think then some other classes because you doing the Practical and also the sign of it yes where are pistachio casings session and I wanted to see everything stars and Miss Rodriguez Jr. Thank you so much guy thank you so much Juniors thank you. thank you and I'm still answering the questions in the chat but I'm going to start recording right now
