Periodontology
Periodontology is the branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of diseases of all supporting and investing structures of the teeth. In this department, we educate and train 3rd year dental students a basic understanding of Periodontal science and practical training necessary to provide patients with basic periodontal care.Further, our faculty provides advance periodontal training to house & trainee medical officers to enhance their understanding and skills for periodontal procedures. This aims at enhancing students’ clinical skills in diagnosing, treating and preventing periodontal diseases for a wide range of patients.
Our faculty also provide contemporary, comprehensiveand compassionate dental care to the members of our surrounding community and conduct cutting-edge research to advance our discipline’s professional knowledge base.
