DCI inspectors arrive at College by ‘mistake’
Inspectors from the Dental Council of India, who came for a surprise inspection at the King George’s Medical University on Wednesday, were themselves in for a shock when they realised that there was really no need for the entire exercise.
And that the entire confusion-as well as wastage of money and resources had occurred because the medical authority interpreted the Chhatrapati Shahu ji Maharaj Medical University’s change of name to KGMU as a ‘change in affiliation’ of the dental faculty.
The entire expense-flight, transport and other costs-are obviously derived from public money. KGMU authorities hold the DCI responsible for the blooper…MORE HERE

DCI election of VP challenged in Court
Justice P. Naveen Rao of the Hyderabad High Court on Saturday admitted a petition challenging the election of vice-president of Dental Council of India, despite an interim stay granted by this court in July 6, 2014.
Dr Ali Hyder Sheik, a member of DCI, moved the plea stating that the High Court stayed the election scheduled on June 13, 2014 for not following statutory procedure by keeping the members in the dark and holding elections on schedule.
Senior counsel Gangaiah Naidu, appearing for the petitioner, submitted that some vested interests used the court as a forum to stay the election and later withdrew the petition for extraneous reasons and conducted the election.

Painless extraction without Needle
Imagine a painless tooth extraction without anaesthesia? Dr Vivek J, a dental surgeon who learnt the Danta Vaidya Visharada course from Gujarat University, surprises his patients with his technique. He makes the patient sit, hold breath in yogic way, shakes patient’s head and removes the teeth within 15 seconds.
“What we do during a tooth extraction is combination of Yoga and Ayurveda. Breathing is blocked through Jalandhara Bhandha and pressure is created over vital points of the body. The nerve h is numbed and the tooth extracted. There is minimal blood loss and it is quick,” says Dr Vivek. He has extracted more than 4,000 teeth this way, including at dental camps by SSCASRH.

Dentist gets depressed- WHY
Dentist Dr Himanshu Mehta, 27, had panic attacks when he became a new dad. His bouts of withdrawal were so severe that he had to quit his job. He isn’t alone in his suffering. According to a recent study, the new daddy is getting the baby blues. Postpartum depression, so long associated with women, is hitting first-time fathers too! A research published in the journal, Pediatrics, says that men, who become fathers around the age of 25 have a 68 per cent increase in depression symptoms over the first five years of being dads. Says Dr Mehta, “The first few days were the worst, I simply couldn’t cope. We had no family to help us. My wife was equally disturbed with the changes. We were both at sea.” NEWSLINK
