INTRODUCTION OF THE DEPARTMENT

The department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics is the branch of dentistry which is concerned with the conservation of the teeth in the mouth. The primary purpose of this dept is prevention, diagnosis and conservative based treatment of dental caries and diseases and defects of natural teeth. This department also specializes in treatment of pulpal and periapical diseases through non-surgical and surgical methods.

The department stands for teaching & training of undergraduate (B.D.S) and post-graduate (M.D.S) students in this subject. An undergraduate student starts to learn this subject from the second year. Initially training is given on an inanimate object. As the student progresses towards final year he starts treating patients and they learn to deal with the problem in a more scientific method creating a strong foundation. The postgraduate is a 3 year course that teaches the student in detail about the subject. They focus on aesthetic dentistry, endodontic therapy and surgeries like root canal therapy under magnification. The students are encouraged to do research, attend conferences at national and international level.
