Flap operculum
Assalamualaikum hye buddies. Hey have you ever noticed that you actually will have 8 teeth per quadrant of your oral cavity ?
Naaa.
And some of you might been exposed about gigi bongsu or wisdom tooth . So those who didn’t grow yet their wisdom tooth, are you wisdom enough? ๐๐ okey such a harsh joke hahaha..haha actually only some people will grow it as it depends on multifactorial such as races and size of jaw .
By hearing rumors, some people might tell you that, it will be soooo painful to face the eruption period of this tooth. Oh, you will have 4 wisdom teeth. 1 each quadrant ๐.
One of my teacher used to paste some hot patches over her ramus. Because hot and pain innervated from a same nerve branch, so this will at least relief the pain a little bit still the pain is there.
You might heard some stories that most people removed this innocent tooth, due to unbearable pain, buccally erupted or it caused trouble to your other dentition. And here, in KOD, seniors will definitely haunting for you, just like animal like animal oooooo auuuuuuu. Haha okey because we have requirements to be considered so, you’re highly recommended to come over here and be our patient ๐คฉ
Okey so that’s enough for other people’s experience. Now I let you discover my journey of wisdom tooth ๐ . Idk today, my english is so bad. Hahaha maybe I just need an English teacher, just like arwah tecer Jamilah who would pinch my extra flappy skin on my belly and tell me sal, this is wrong. Oh I miss her so bad . Al-Fatihah,.
Okey I was so disappointed actually when I discovered my first wisdom tooth appearance because I was hoping to grow taller a bit since I am just 151cm. Through my reading, fact stated that wisdom tooth will indicate that your height will stop increasing. Auch sedih i . My two other sisters have such an amazing height and body goal meanwhile, I still will look like year 6 student even I’m 21 ๐คฏ ( it might be good that I have that forever youth hood but yeahhh who is going to marry the year 6 student ? ๐จ)
Okey I don’t have any problem with the eruption ๐, I just felt a little weird because the newly erupted cusps were so sharp and my tongue can’t stop to play there which caused me some minor bleeding ๐คญ.
Yes, not to forget, I also feel just slightly above the pain threshold. Which I still can bear. Tak manja kan.
So fast forward the story to my third wisdom tooth eruption. This was quite amazing experience ? Heh because it was soooo painful but I am having million of reconsiderations to go under knife and bur and hammer and dentist and chipmunk cheeks.
Fyyyuuuh.
So I just tried to settle down things by myself, try putting some ice, minyak gamat or even sleep, just to distract myself from this new comer. when it was about 98 % Of eruption, I realized that it was buccally erupted, means that the cusps are facing my cheek, still I’m not picking the choice of going for minor oral surgery๐คข
But after the plateau state of eruption, I realized another bad thing about this new comer, I kinda have a little bad breath. Which I am not comfortable with the condition, hence I search for the causes inside my mouth. Tadaaa. There you go, it’s my flap operculum
What is flap operculum, ( thanks the internet )
Operculum, in dentistry, means a gum flap over any partially erupted tooth, particularly the third molar (wisdom tooth). This flap can get crushed between the tooth and the opposite tooth in the other jaw while chewing. The tissue of the operculum and the surrounding region of the gum can become tender and inflamed.
So what caused the bad breath is when the food trapped underneath the flap operculum. ๐คฎ
So I was thinking ๐ค twice this time, if I make an appointment with the dentist, they will definitely pull out my tooth. Nooo, haha so if I keep it, my breath will continue to smell bad.
Tadaaa the idea came when I was cleaning the area by using my tongue after eating chocolate ๐ซ.
I was like what if I do this ๐ค
Hence I washed my hand, and directly put my fingertips at the flappy gum and pull it out with a great pressure and pain, not to forget with some tears in my eyes ๐ huhuhu that was a terrible idea, but it work lah kan. Bleeding was like a river flow ๐คฃ
Hmm, now I’m free from bad breath except after I woke up in the morning where the night before that I ate a lot and without brushing my teeth .
And it is so good to know that if we have a good oral hygiene, people will love us even more. I will love you even more too ! That’s a good character and even Rasulullah saw recommended us to brush our teeth before performing our solat. How cool is that.
So, take a good care of your teeth people. Adios, amigos, I’m done ✅
Love,

Amalgam class 1 ( cavity prep )
Bismillah , Alhamdulillah ๐๐ป
![]() |
| there you go some of my tools, hehe amalgam plugger, perio probe, tray, burs, slow speed handpiece etc.. hehe and my mounted teeth |
Okey .
Let’s get started ๐
Last year, when I was in year 1, I actually do go to lots of clinics to leave my empty glass bottle to be filled with teeth ๐ ( for this purpose )
Eh shall I show it to you guys? Haha because my dad always turn away when I show the so-not-pretty-condition of teeth haha ๐คฃ
( I love to tease him , every time that he got things to say or his getting nerve by me, I will always show those collections - for a beautiful escape ๐คช) I’m naughty? Lol ikr ๐๐
Okey there you go ๐ฌ๐ฌ
![]() |
| I divided them based on their condition, and most of the sound teeth are premolar. uhuhu |
Okey so started from last week, we gotta clean all the teeth, before we actually autoclave them to kill or the bacteria๐ค ( before they actually kill you first ๐คญ ) hahaha
So I did woke up at 3 am and do the cleaning service of each tooth ( God knows how I hate that moment ๐๐๐ )
I was so into vomiting ๐คฎ my content hahaha each time I brush the tooth ( I actually brushed each of the tooth okey - because I was so geli geliman nak autoclave them without a proper cleaning )
Later, I drained the dirty water, and I dried the teeth under the fan from 4.30am till 7 am. ..
Sorry that I didn’t have any photo for the cleaning and drying process, restricting myself from touching my other things , including my phone ๐๐
Okey then, I put them back inside the glass bottle and went to class happily ( ๐ค )
We were given the autoclave set haha ( idk what to call ) it just like plastic and some cotton like ( hahha I forgot this one ☝๐ผ)
So just put the “cleaned” and dried teeth inside the packaging and they gotta go for autoclaving...
Okey lets skip few days. ๐ค
Then we were request to look for 36 tooth ( mandibular first molar ) for our cavity preparation.
It’s so hard man to search for the SOUND one. Is there any crazy people who wanna pull out their good and caries-less tooth hahaha ?
Lol so I was in difficult condition, gotta begged from my other friends and senior, if they do have extra tooth of 36, since mine was rejected due to excessive caries and subhanallah besar gila lubang !!!
Hahaha so they’re few concern people, ( actually just a senior ๐๐ - pm if interested ) , he gave me teeth, but dr didn’t want it because it have some attrition ๐ฃ
So I just mounted my caries 36 and 46 ( last resort that I have ) hahaha
Oh I do skip some hardship because I wanna tell you guys hahaha the process was easy ( NO OKAY NO ๐๐)
Okey okey so my first trial of cavity prep.. I was so into the important step ( which is make sure to remove all the caries ) hahaha..everything was so well, but until I measured the width . God it is 2mm facepalm guys 0.5mm is matter okey ...
Hence my supervisor said, that’s why we need you to search for sound tooth ๐ฝ . Okey my bad dr .. but she said, it’s good prep but not for this exercise ( Fuhhh, how she collected back my broken pieces ๐)
So I did proceed with new 36 tooth.. started from the scratch๐๐๐
But Alhamdulillah idk what happened , it’s Allah’s miracle, I found that my second trial was so easy and smooth.
Then I went for checking and it was kinda make me feel so about to cry ๐ข๐ข๐ข .. Alhamdulillah.. I got a good marks .
So this is the cavity prep guys.. the small one is the second trial ๐๐
![]() |
| haha intentionally put it in extra large size so that you can see. it is actually so smallll!!! 1-1.5mm |
P/s: I sanitized everything at my work station ahhaha ( protecting myself from anonymous tooth๐คฎ)
And I bought myself hand sanitizer because yes, even it kill 99% the other 1 % still can cause negative effect... but at least I’m taking my precautions and amanah to take care this body!! Everything will be questioned right? Hahaha so let’s take a good care of our own health ( and not exclude your oral hygiene!! )
Till then people ..
With love, BellaHR
Assalamualaikum ๐
