A subject you´ve enjoyed studying this semester

 

I must admit that the subject that I liked the most was “skill development and self-care for professional practice.” This subject made my love for dentistry even more than before. I faced challenges that I never imagined especially with myself, I have improved my patience and the way I deal with frustration, helping me to improve and progress over time. "Skills" in a more abbreviated way, is in charge of showing the practical work of a Professional dentist from the first year in which the career is studied, managing to be related to the work that we will do as dentists in the future. Here I was able to know materials, such as resins, alginate and their respective preparations and also the necessary instruments for each of the procedures that are carried out with each material and then with the patients, the most important instruments in my opinion are the micromotor and the turbine.

I learned things like the restoration of a dental piece, make biological preparations in the practical ones that they did to us; I was also able to improve my ergonomics and both fine and gross motor skills. This type of subject allows us as students to have a much more direct proximity with respect to the work that we will do as dentists and also allows each of us to realize if this is really what we like and want to study.
