The Department of Conservative Dentistry and EndodonticsThe Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics has evolved into a vibrant and dynamic unit today, keeping abreast with changes in dentistry on an international scale.
On an average, the department handles 50-60 patients per day, of which the third and final years manage approximately a third.
Being a teaching institute, the department is very particular with respect to academic performance and believes in setting high standards for students with a mission to attain excellence in teaching, research and patient care.
The master’s course in Endodontics, aims not only to guide the student in the methodology of research, but at the same time orient him to the current state of knowledge in the respective specialty. The care of patients is an equally important goal and the post graduate student is given ample clinical exposure to hone his skills. The residents are encouraged to use a variety of newer dental materials and have access to many state of the art facilities that have been indented into the department especially for the post graduate training program. The academic schedule is designed to include seminars, journal club presentations, case presentations and a dissertation. All the residents are required to update themselves through continuing education programs and through an active participation at national conferences and conventions. The Post graduate Students have done the department proud by earning accolades by achieving best paper and poster presentations at various national conferences. A post graduate student is also entrusted with the responsibility of supervising both the pre-clincal and clinical divisions of the under graduate students. Through these exercises, he is taught to imbibe adequate skills for a future career in teaching. A formal evaluation system ensues at the end of the three year session and includes theoretical as well as clinical examinations.
