ΞΨΦ XI PSI PHI QUARTERLY


Medicine’s Xi Psi Phi International Dental Fraternity has been hosting dinner and learn presentations. At these events, we invite an array of guest speakers from the dental com- munity to share their insight about their journey in dentistry. Tey also include various case presentations allowing students to integrate what they learned from the talk and apply it to different clinical scenarios. During the past dinner and learn, we were honored to have Dr. Alex Rubinov, a well-known cosmetic den- tist in New York City. Tis individual graduated from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine and has directed his focuses toward cosmetic dentistry. He discussed his idea of a “Smile Makeover” where patients can actually see firsthand how their smile could transform during a consulta- tion visit. Dr. Rubinov was able to effectively convey this to the patient through the use of flowable compos- ite. His patients were able to see how their smile could be transformed in that visit alone leading to a greater patient case acceptance as well as patient satisfaction.


Beyond this, two of our chapter


members, Cyril Manchery and Jason Chen were able to further work with Dr. Rubinov at the Hamptons for a bleaching event he was hosting for the community. During this event, our members were able to assist and learn how to properly use Opales- cence Boost to whiten teeth. In the coming weeks, our chapter will be hosting another dinner and learn with Dr. Lewis Chen along with our annual Ugly Christmas Sweater event where students and residents can come together in the spirit of the holidays.
