Dr. Pratik Chandra was awarded Second place for presenting a Table Clinic in the Clinic Category at the prestigious 53rd Indian Orthodontic Conference held in Cochin, Kerala in the year 2018.
The topic for his table Clinic was ‘Made in India’. This theme was inspired by the popular slogan presented to promote indigenous industry within the country. Accordingly, Dr. Chandra presented Chairside clinical innovations created bearing in mind the quick, stable construction and placement, without the use of specialized equipment. These aim to reduce the chairside time and the burden on the Clinician during appointments. The assembly for the table clinic included acrylic models which represented the dentition. The wire bendings were incorporated on these models.
