UPDATE:  Wheelchair in OHC

Students/faculty/staff requiring a wheelchair for patients must request it from the Dispensary - the wheelchair will be signed out to the individual requesting it.  

Just as with other equipment loaned out by Dispensary, the cost of the wheelchair will be incurred by the individual it is signed out to if it is not returned to the Dispensary.  

Thank you for your cooperation.

REMINDER:  Intraoral Scanning & Scanning of Diagnostic Casts

Patients requiring impressions for diagnostic purposes must first undergo intraoral scanning with the 3Shape Trios Intraoral Scanner.   Impressions for diagnostic casts may be made, if required, only once intraoral scanning is completed and saved,  The resulting diagnostic casts DO NOT need to be scanned as the intraoral scan has already been completed and saved.

If, however, impressions for diagnostic casts were made without having the patient undergo intraoral scanning, the diagnostic casts (once separated and trimmed) must be scanned with the 3Shape Lab Scanner in the Prosthodontics Laboratory.

We would also greatly appreciate it if students could tidy up the KEC Student Lab by discarding old lab cases ie. working casts, if the case has been completed.  Please return any implant components related to working casts to the Prosthodontics Laboratory.

Please remember that the Prosthodontics Laboratory is open from 7:45 - 11:45 a.m. and 12:45 - 4:15 p.m.

Please contact Paul Ladell with any questions or concerns about using the 3Shape Lab Scanner.

Thank you for your cooperation.
