Periodontics

discipline of dentistry
Periodontology is the science dealing with the health and diseases of the investing and supporting structures of the teeth and oral mucous membrane. It also deals with early intervention of gingival and periodontal diseases. It is a branch which exclusively deals with periodontal regeneration and gingival augmentation procedures, thereby increasing the periodontal support as well as increase in width and thickness of gingiva.
The ultimate motto of our department is that every candidate must achieve a high degree of clinical proficiency in the subject matter and develop competence in research and its methodology as related to the field concerned. Post Graduate students are allowed to do basic and advanced surgical procedures as well as research work under the able guidance of our experienced faculties. The objective of our PG course is to train a candidate so as to ensure higher competence in both general and special area of interest and prepare him for a career in teaching, research and specialty practice.
