It is only week three of the Fall semester and I am already buried in exams and projects. Woo dios mio! But I finally have some time to make an update. We've been working on custom trays, record bases and wax rims in Removable Prosthodontics. The aim is to fabricate a complete denture.

Fabricate Record Base. This is done similarly to the fabrication of the custom tray except the triad material extends to the vestibule of the cast.

I love lab work! It's nice to get away from the books sometime.
I had such a hectic week. Restorative Operative exam was on Tuesday followed by Pathology on Wednesday and Microbiology on Thursday - all this while doing amalgam and composite preps and restorations AND making custom trays, record bases and wax rims. I will have a Restorative Operative graded exercise this afternoon which will include doing and amalgam prep and restoration on #12 and 31 and composite on 29.
I am happy this week is over - Cheers to the freakin' Weekend!!
