Dental volunteer work is designed to help the people in need of dental treatment, and through it young graduates and students can gain clinical experience as well. Living in developing country, you’ll witness the impact of poverty on dental health. Dentists struggle to convey message about the very basic of oral hygiene ( even in the situation which lack of health care education and financial exist).This kind of condition shows that the number of cases is way higher and also means that patient have considerably further advance cases than likely seen in western world.

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.

The voluntary activities were all actually the extension of skill lab activity in which after getting the basic knowledge and skill training, the students are expected to become all capable to do anything needed in voluntary work. Therefore the participant must follow all of the class, skills lab and other activities in educational program before getting involved in voluntary works. The application of IDSS 2012 has already started and the vacancies are still available. The Application deadline is 11th May 2012.The Educational Program costs 380 € and includes 3 weeks stay at Hotel , breakfast , educational transportation and program ( Fee doesn’t include Visa and Tour). IDSS 2012 also offers a Non Educational/Social program that costs only 100 €. For more information, we welcome everyone to contact us.

The most debated ones were related to the creation of an IADS Advisory Board, offering new logistical strategies in developing the International Voluntary Program and the creation of the IADS National and Local Scientific Officers. The already existing projects are heavily discussed and measures are proposed to be applied during the Standing Committee on Research and Education and National Exchange Officers Meetings.

During the MYM, the National/Local Exchange and Scientific Officers have the opportunity of signing new partnership agreements which bring educational and research dental opportunities to the students they represent.

Old Delhi has glorious past and was the centre of power for various Muslim dynasties that ruled swathes of the subcontinent from the 12th century onwards. The imperial city of New Delhi is an embodiment of the fine architecture of British Raj.
