Abstract:
Making dental impressions and models is a part of daily routine work for dental nurses in the orthodontic department in China. This paper analyzes the common problems encountered in the process of making dental impressions and models, and emphasizes the importance of quality control and supervision during this process. A method of combining real-time monitoring and periodic inspection based on nurse-doctor cooperation was put forward to ensure the quality of dental impressions and models. Firstly, the nurses should be well trained with the instruction of doctors before on duty; Secondly, the head nurse should be responsible for implementing real-time monitoring and periodic inspections to find the problems and take measures in time. Also, the doctors should check the dental impressions and models in time, especially for those models with special demands, and help the nurses to improve their skills constantly.
