Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics
The department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics deals with the diagnosis and management of decayed teethand endeavors to deliver the best possible treatment options by providing the patientwith a wide range of treatment modalitieslike metallic and tooth colored restorations, endodontic treatment, endodontic surgeries, and aesthetic work like veneers, crowns, whitening of teeth, etc. The aim is to conserve the natural dentition and maintain it in a harmonious relation with the oral tissues and health in general. The department has on an average 1000 patients visiting it every month.
Before the students start working on the patients they are thoroughly trained in a preclinical laboratory, where they are taught the different conservation procedures on simulators followed by an examination at the end of the II year to evaluate the skills and theoretical knowledge acquired by the student. Passing in this examination is a must to enable the student to join clinics in the following year.Clinical work on patients is carried out in III& IVB.D.S. At the end of the final year, the student has to appear in a theory and a practical exam.
The department also offers a post graduate program spanning three years which aims to impartthe subject knowledge in depth. The curriculum for the post graduate program includes delivering specialized dental and endodontictreatment to the patients as well as academic activities likepresenting seminars and journal articles. The staff and post graduate students attend national conferences and conventions and present scientific papers. Research work and cases done in the department are published in various scientific national and international journals.
