The NSS unit of Kalinga Institute of Dental Sciences, Bhubaneswar has collaborated with the HMV Driver Training Institute, Chhatia. Following the philosophy of the “Art of Giving” initiated by our Founder, Prof. Dr. Achyuta Samanta, under his leadership, a free dental screening and treatment camp was organized on 4.07.2024, as per the regular dental checkup camps to be conducted at the driver training institute.
Basic dental treatments were carried out among 98 screened patients in the mobile dental van and some of them were referred to the tertiary institute for further complex treatment procedures. 15 patients were diagnosed with Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) because of
tobacco chewing habit. They were referred to KIDS for tobacco cessation counselling and other necessary treatment. free medications were distributed to the patients.
