Adjunct professor, dept of Orthodontics, Dr. Gauri Vichare visited on 25 th and 26 th
April 2022. This was her second visit to the dept. in the capacity of adjunct
professor. Rigorous scientific activities were planned for both the days.
The day began with a formal welcome and introduction of the post graduate
students. In the first half of the day, Dr. Vichare gave an enlightening lecture on
Class III malocclusion. Her insights were well appreciated by staff and students
alike. She highlighted several aspects of diagnosis and treatment of Class iii
malocclusions which are very helpful in the clinical scenario. The audience was so
engrossed in the deliberation that no one realized they had been interacting with
madam for 4 full hours without break. Post lunch, case discussions were held on
day 1. The post graduate students presented surgical Class III cases and various
treatment options were discussed. The first day concluded with Dr. Sharvari
Khedkar summarizing the Class III treatment modalities.
On the second day, students were eagerly waiting to interact with Dr. Vicahre.
Case presentations of exam going students were scheduled on Day 2. Dr. Apeksha
and Dr. Apurva presented 5 cases each. The cases included myofunctional cases,
growth modulation, fixed orthodontic cases, skeletal malocclusions, asymmetry
etc. Each case was thoroughly discussed. Dr. Vichare appreciated Dr. Apeksha for
her neat work. Dr. Vichare gave her insights on the all cases. She also gave tips for
better finishing of the cases. The second day concluded with a demonstration of
table clinic models on common sense mechanics by , the second year students,
Dr. Sharvari and Dr. Sanjeevani.
Both the sessions were very informal and interactive. The students gained a lot
from from Dr. Vichare’s insights. The day came to an end but neither Madam nor
the students wanted to end the session. Dr. Vichare patiently answered all the
doubts and promised to come soon for the next session.
