Chennai: A postgraduate student from Saveetha Dental College has set a new world record in the field of dentistry. Divij Khullar, a third-year prosthodontics postgraduate student from Chennai, India, achieved the world record under the title of “World’s First Postgraduate Student to Complete Maximum No. 45 of Full Mouth Rehabilitations During the Course of Post-Graduation” by cementing a record breaking 1149 crowns in 45 patients.

A full mouth rehabilitation is when a restoration is given to all the teeth in the mouth to enhance the lost aesthetics & function. It's an elaborate procedure involving an average of 14 appointments & multiple laboratory technicians and thus completion of 45 full mouth rehabilitation cases during the course of post-graduation is a remarkable achievement, especially considering that 90% of postgraduate students in India do not complete even one such case. Even most of the private prosthodontic consultants may not do as many full mouth rehabilitations in their lifetime.

The record-breaking feat was verified by the judiciary of India Book of World Records. The achievement is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Dr. Khullar, who completed the cases under the guidance and supervision of the faculty at Saveetha Dental College.
