HOD Desk

The Department of Periodontics deals with the study of tooth supporting structures, in health and disease. It is also concerned with the prevention and corrective measures in the management of gingival and periodontal diseases.

The Department began as an undergraduate training center; and later the post- graduate section was setup in 2009. Since then, 4 students have been churned out at the post-graduate level alone.

The post-graduate students are encouraged to unleash their free thinking as a part of problem-based learning activities. They are expected to carry out state of the art research activities in the form of dissertations and publications.   

We plans are to conduct many programs catering to various diversifications of the subject – Immunology, Host modulation, Periodontal microsurgery, Genetics, Implants and so on.

The Department has always stood for its “ Tradition of Excellence” since last 20 years and shall continue sowing its seeds of wisdom for many more years to come…..
