Dental laboratory technology deals with designing and manufacturing of corrective devices or prosthesis for replacements of natural teeth
Yenepoya (Deemed to be University) and Dentcare Dental Lab Pvt. Ltd., Muvattupuzha, in Kerala signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to harness dental technician capabilities of the latter in Mangaluru on Wednesday, June 22.
Yenepoya Dental College Dean Akhter Hussain and Dentcare Chairman and Managing Director John Kuriakose signed the pact in the presence of Yenepoya Pro Vice Chancellor Yenepoya Farhaad.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Kuriakose said he looked forward to the programme to be initiated through the collaboration. He said that while there were more than 3 lakh dentists in India, there was huge demand for dental technicians to cater to their needs. A qualification in dental technology offers lucrative career option with a huge potential for growth in India and abroad. He also spoke of the potential of dental tourism in India with cheaper dental care.
Dental laboratory technology is the “art, science and technology of designing and manufacturing corrective devices or prosthesis for replacements of natural teeth,” said a release. A dental laboratory technician communicates and collaborates with the dentist to plan, design and fabricate dental prostheses for individual patients.
“Yenepoya is taking a major step towards providing an opportunity to aspiring candidates intending to make a career in dental technology to learn with a leading Dental Laboratory,” it said.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
