Lee Xin Yee, a dedicated and ambitious fourth-year BDS student, took a significant leap in the realm of dental research at the 2023 SEGI-IAOMP Symposium. Her presentation, titled “Sunflower Seed-Induced Tooth Attrition: A Case Series,” not only garnered attention but also clinched the THIRD prize in the highly competitive oral presentation category. Her achievement was a testament to her meticulous research, innovative thinking, and dedication to addressing pressing oral health concerns.
