Periodontics is the specialty that deals with the diseases of the supporting tissues of the tooth and prevention of their occurrence. It also manages aesthetic problems caused by lost periodontal structures and aims to restore the same. Periodontists play a key role in diagnosis and treatment planning of oral disease. An extensive understanding of the progression of periodontal diseases gives us the edge while predicting the prognosis of affected teeth as the success of the dental treatment plan is heavily dependent on the health of the periodontium. Hence, the role of a Periodontist is indispensable to dental practice!
The department has separate undergraduate and postgraduate sections equipped with modern dental chairs fitted with ultrasonic scalers. Advanced surgical equipment like sinus augmentation kits, microsurgical unit, ultrasonic bone surgical unit, digital centrifuge machine for regenerative procedures, laser unit, digital intra oral radiographs (RVG) and diverse implant surgical kits are the additional highlights of the department. Our library is stocked with an array of journals with back volumes spreading over two decades.
At the undergraduate level we impart training in a group as well as in an individual manner so as to prepare a student to diagnose and treat the diseases of the supporting structures of the teeth on a daily practice basis and make appropriate referrals for advanced care. It also trains students for further training in Periodontics &Implantology.
Implantrain is a clinical skill enhancement program,conducted on a yearly basis to train the students about the basic concepts and knowledge in the field of Implant dentistry.
The postgraduate program in Periodontics aims at producing a graduate competent in teaching, master in clinical work & research activities.It consists of mandated journal clubs and seminar presentations. We encourage students to participate and make presentations in conferences. The post graduates and under graduates students have won prizes for their presentations in various national and international conferences.
We provide a platform to the students to exhibit their academic excellence by helping them involve in research activities and scientific paper and poster presentations at various conferences.
