05-04-07` oral viva

oral viva (grilling session):

had a bad cold yesterday. running nose under the mask, burning throat.

and today have to 'talk' to the DH TRIOS.

eeuhhhs.

missing the magic words again.

Qtn: how do you arrive to the diagnosis?
Ans: probing depths. i forgot entirely abt the gingival colour contour consistency. BOOS!

Qtn: what is gingiva apparatus?
Ans: After much PROMPTING, to the extent of Dr koh has to ask Dr ong to take the sensodyne chart for me and point directly at the free gingiva tissue. guess what? the answer is 'connective tissues'. i have a 'this-is-SO-LAME' feeling. haha

Qtn: for patients undergone DXT, where is he most subsceptible to caries?
Ans: smooth surfaces. the interproximal? NO its the CERVICAL.

my session was short, probably they were frustrated and exhausted with all the promptings and wrong ans. lolx
