On February 19, 2026, PASIKLABAN 2.0 celebrated precision and artistry with the Wax Tooth Carving Contest, highlighting the skill and dedication of StuDentistas.

Participants were challenged to carve a tooth from a standard wax block, exhibiting mastery of dental anatomy, proper proportions, and intricate details.

Representing their respective teams, each contestant worked independently within the 90-minute time limit. Before the carving began, participants drew lots to determine which tooth they would carve, adding an element of surprise and fairness to the challenge.

With steady hands and focused attention, they used their knowledge of dental anatomy to carve accurate and properly shaped teeth.
