In a well-designed location, the students learn about what is done in a dental clinic. They work with the dental equipment, learn more about their teeth, proper tooth brushing, flossing, and teeth molding.
Modular dental equipment, Dental materials (amalgam, molding materials, etc. to degree possible), dental fake teeth model, compressor, inspection camera and molding materials are the necessary things for this scenario.
The curriculum included in this document is suitable for two-hour workshop with grade 5-7 participants. However, it can easily be modified for longer or shorter workshop and adapted for younger or older participants as well.
It is recommended that a dentist and a dental technician join the executive group of the scenario.
At the beginning of the scenario and on a smart TV, students will see some encouraging sentences.
Then they learn about Salvadora Persica tree on the smart TV (or a poster) from which the traditional toothbrush is made.
Then in groups of 3 to 5, they inter the dental office (a room decorated as a dental office) in which a dentist is expecting them (Figure 3)
Each student will get a toothbrush (Miswak) made of Salvadora Persica tree (To the degree possible).
The dentist or her/his assistant helps the students to work with the dental equipment (Figure 5).
This scenario is a fun way for school age students to learn more about Pythagoras theorem, Circumference and area of circles, and cylinder and spheroid volumes. The curriculum included in this document is suitable for an hour workshop with grade 4-7 participants. The students receive a square board and four of the same right triangles with legs a and b and hypotenuse c. The length of each edge of the board is a+b.
They also see the instruments used by the dentists (Figure 6).
With a waterproof borescope, having a disposable and clear cover on its camera, the students can see the inside of their mouths and their teeth on the smart TV (Figure 7).
At the break time, students can participate in the fun events that have been organized for them (Figure 8)!
Figure 8) Funny events
After break, the students will learn about dental molding. An expert would explain the process of molding and different molding techniques. The students can then create their hand molds, with the supervision of the expert. In addition to Miswak, students could receive another gift (their hand mold) (Figure 9).
