Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics is the branch of dentistry which deals with the treatment of caries, malformed, discolored, unesthetic, or fractured teeth and Endodontics deals with treatment of pulpal and periapical diseases and dental pain management. This department aims at preserving the natural tooth either by simple filling or by root canal therapy, which otherwise would have been extracted, thus making them functional for a life time. There are 8 trained and dedicated MDS staffs to overlook the matters of the Department. We have Undergraduate and Post graduate students in our department.

Our training for students starts from the 1st year onwards. The first 2 years of the BDS course are when we train students to work on models and simulated phantom heads to attune them in the fineness of the work so that they are prepared well when they enter Clinics in 3rd year where they have to work on patients. The students are trained to provide aesthetic restorations, silver fillings (amalgam) and anterior rootcanals at the Undergraduate level. At the Post graduate level, they are trained for more where in addition to what the undergraduates do, they also perform root canals in the posteriors, bleaching, inlays, revascularisation and regeneration procedures. Our Department has a detailed “Preclinical Manual” for the use of students in the Preclinical.

Through attending CDE courses, hands on courses and Conferences, both the students and the staff stay updated. Our Post Graduate students and staff present papers and posters in National and International conferences. They also publish articles in well-established journals.
