ABOUT DEPARTMENT
The Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics consists of two specialties Conservative dentistry & Endodontics. Conservative Dentistry deals with the treatment and rehabilitation of diseased, defective or destructured tooth. It also includes Cosmetic / Aesthetic corrections of teeth. Endodontics deals with root canal treatment and endo-surgery.
In an era wherein the world emphasis is on prevention and conservation, these two specialties play a very vital role in saving the teeth. The department is well equipped with state of the art instruments and materials, where the students are trained on the finer aspects of different treatment modalities. The faculty is highly committed to impart the highest quality of education to students and shape them to be good professionals.
