OVERVIEW

Periodontics is a dental specialty focused on the health of the supporting tissues of the teeth, emphasizing both the treatment and prevention of related diseases. It also addresses aesthetic issues caused by the loss of periodontal structures, aiming to restore them effectively. Periodontists are crucial in diagnosing and planning treatments for oral diseases, as a comprehensive understanding of periodontal disease progression is essential for predicting the prognosis of affected teeth. The success of any dental treatment plan heavily relies on the health of the periodontium, underscoring the indispensable role of periodontists in dental practice. Our department is well-equipped with separate undergraduate and postgraduate sections, featuring modern dental chairs with ultrasonic scalers. Advanced surgical tools, such as sinus augmentation kits, microsurgical units, ultrasonic bone surgical units, digital centrifuge machines for regenerative procedures, laser units, digital intraoral radiographs (RVG), and diverse implant surgical kits, are notable highlights. Additionally, our library boasts a wide array of journals with back volumes spanning over two decades. At the undergraduate level, we provide training both in group settings and individually to prepare students to diagnose and treat diseases of the supporting tooth structures routinely and to make appropriate referrals for advanced care. This training also equips students for further specialization in Periodontics and Implantology.
