Pak Oral Dental J Jan ;36(4):670-2.

A survey of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa dental graduates was conducted in 2016 to determine whether they had followed textbook laboratory procedure of boxing, beading and pouring final edentulous impression for fabrication of complete denture in their undergraduate clinical curriculum of prosthodontics. A questionnaire was prepared and distributed amongst 250 dentists who graduated from various public and private medical colleges of KP. The study sample was divided in two groups. The first group consisted of those who had graduated before the year 2000. All graduates in the first group (100%) answered that they had not been taught nor had they implemented boxing/beading as a laboratory procedure in making dentures. In the he 2nd group who had graduated after the year 2000, 42.57% responded that they have been taught the procedure, but had not implemented the procedure on edentulous patients. The result highlighted that in nearly all dental colleges students are not aware of nor following this very important laboratory procedure of boxing, beading and then pouring final edentulous impression to prepare master cast for full denture fabrication, although this lab procedure is a part of their curriculum in prosthodontics.
