How does your dental school operate their clinic? Do students have to wait in long lines for clinical faculty to approve throughout appointment?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
at mine, there is one faculty for every 6-8 students doing all restorative procedures. there is three restorative faculty per clinic. there is one perio and hygienist for seperate perio exams/maintenance and one endo for urgent care

yes there are time were you will have to wait in a long line for faculty approval because they give start checks, check in during appointments, discuss treatment plans, approve notes lab scripts and do restorative consults. I once waited 1.5 hours after a start check to go over exam findings. I also have had to wait an entire clinical session to get lab scripts or notes approved
