A few of the patients were felicitated during the event as a gesture of gratitude by the doctors as we all know “a doctor is a good or a bad doctor only because of his patient”. A few of the patients also took self-initiatives to come forward at the dais and say a few words about their before and after treatment experience. It was a moment of immense satisfaction for all doctors, especially prosthodontists present there to see their patients brimming with joy post treatment.

The event ended with a warm vote of thanks to one and all who made it all a huge success.
