Clinical Training

Our undergraduate students perform the maximum number of periodontal procedures amongst all dental colleges across the country. We train our students to use iPad-based Hospital Management Systems for periodontal charting and treatment planning. In addition, other unique aspects include the use of ultrasonic scalers from the third year of B.D.S. and training to perform minor periodontal surgical cases and also periodontal flap surgeries.

Research

The department encourages under-graduate students to undertake short-term projects in various disciplines of Periodontics and publish their research with reputed journals. Our college is established with state of the art in-house research lab facilities including molecular biology lab, material testing and stem cell bank. Students have a great platform to explore their research interest.
