Hey everyone, I hope you have all had a great week! Mine has certainly been a busy one, with clinical exams, humanities presentations, and back-to-back patients on the clinic! 🦷 Dental Diary This week on clinics I had a chance at redemption! To give some context, this year we have to complete 10 clinical exams on patients called CAFs, and in November I was attempting to pass my ID block CAF, but when I injected I had missed the lingual nerve and therefore failed that CAF. This experience drove me to become better and to gain more experience with giving injections specifically ID blocks. I promised myself that I wouldn’t resit the CAF until I had done another 5 ID blocks, and that is exactly what I did. On top of that, I had spent extra time reading about the complications of the injection, relevant medical history, and how it would impact giving this type of anaesthesia.
