Thank you
How can we get involved in Comprehensive Cleft Treatment teaching and trainning and research? We have an educational Program of one year with postgraduate students from all dental specialities which belongs to our Faculty of Dentistry at Javeriana University in Bogota and also a Comprehensive Diplo
Thank You very much from Perú!
A small but very significant habit is to make everyone of your patients bring ( or maybe we can keep for them) their toothbrushes at our centers with their name on it and make them brush before providing them any attention. We can use plaque revelatory before. This will increase their oral care.
Will following up cleft lip pts in this manner be practical in the govt. set up in countries like India and Sri lanka as the no. of dentists needed is already less than required, and this will be even more work?
Can You send to My email your STUDY in this program please? cieloalexandrarodriguez@gmail.com
Thanks
A question for Professor Muthu: In India, how do you motivate non-oral healthcare volunteers, especially parent volunteers, to participate in the programs? Do you give them incentives or allowance to motivate them?
