Post Graduate Section

Admission per year - 06

The postgraduate clinic has 20 fully functional dental chairs with the ground area of 2538 sq ft. The daily schedule of a post graduate student starts with a previously decided presentation topic. This is followed by a detailed clinical evaluation of the patient with necessary records which is reconfirmed by competent faculty members, after which there is a detailed discussion of the case among the staff and students.

Apart from clinical evaluation procedures, appropriate treatment is rendered to the patients.

The postgraduates are trained in rendering symptomatic and specific treatments for various oral diseases. 

Apart from clinical evaluation procedures, appropriate treatment is rendered to patients. The students are also trained in diagnostic procedures like:

  1. Obtaining biopsy specimen
  2. FNAC
  3. Toluidine blue staining
  4. Cytological Smears
  5. Tooth Vitality tests

There are specific days allotted for seminars and journal presentations where students are trained in the art of presentations, which enhances the confidence level. This also helps the students to gain an in-depth knowledge of the subject. Patient seeking speciality consultations are evaluated thoroughly in all respects, made aware of the disease, followed by an appropriate treatment plan and thorough follow up. The patients are counselled about their disease. A complete rehabilitation programme is worked out and implemented for individual patients.
