ABOUT INTERNATIONAL DENTAL SUMMER SCHOOL
International Dental Summer School organized by Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta has already provided a Dental Voluntary Project since 2010. The activities were conducted in a village or a remote area that indeed had a high number of dental cases. we had 2 Voluntary Works that treated over 350 patients in both IDSS 2010 and IDSS 2011. This year, International Association of Dental Students (IADS) is collaborating with IDSS for an International Voluntary Project. This hauls a challenge to the organizer to serve a higher quality of the program. Therefore, with some intensive discussion and meetings, the Organizer decided to make this dental voluntary project bigger than previous years in which IDSS 2012 Dental Voluntary work will take place in 4 different places with the target of over 600 patients treated this year.
26 International Students coming from 13 countries already experienced IDSS Dental Voluntary Works in 2010 and 2011. The responses were very positive. They learned a lot how to treat the patients in remote places with very simple facility. The mechanism of work was already framed in Standard Operational Procedure. The participants were divided into 2 portions of work. This was according to the years they belong to. For preclinical year students (assumed as non-clinical exposed student), the options were on Sterilization, Physical Examination, Operator Assistance, Prescription, and Public Dissemination (to do such fun dental health education with villagers). For clinical Students and Fresh Graduate(Young Dentist), they’re allowed to handle curative treatment such as Atraumatic Restoration Treatment (ART) , 3 Mix MP / Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair Restoration and extraction.
