Key Takeaways for Young Dentists

Document & Reflect : Record your work, study it regularly, and think about areas for improvement. This habit will not only enhance your skills but also help you track your progress over time.

Learn from Mistakes : Don’t be afraid to acknowledge and learn from mistakes – they’re an opportunity for growth and improvement.

Focus on One Skill at a Time : Dedicate at least 3 months to mastering one skill before moving on to the next. Avoid trying to learn everything at once – focus and consistency are key to true expertise.

Microscope: Your Best Friend : Treat the microscope as an essential tool in your practice. Its applications extend beyond endodontics, proving valuable in prosthodontics as well. Leverage its capabilities to elevate your work!

Stay Ahead of the Curriculum : Don’t rely solely on textbooks! The Indian curriculum can lag behind actual clinical practice by 10-15 years. Instead, read the brochures and guidelines provided with dental materials, and manipulate them according to the manufacturer’s instructions for more effective treatment outcomes.
