DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Department of Prosthodontics strives to continue on the journey embarked 25 years back maintaining high standards of quality and ethics in patient care and academics. We aspire to motivate our undergraduate and post graduate students to inculcate qualities of discipline, integrity and professionalism combined with empathy and dedication towards patients visiting the department.

The specialty is the BACKBONE of dentistry and provides training to a student right from first year to final year. It also serves to large majority of patients coming to the institute offering state of art treatment in affordable rates.

We contribute to the society at large by conducting free denture camps, provide solace to the patients at our Maxillofacial Centre ‘PRAYAAS’ and also work for the updating of the dental fraternity by organizing various continuing dental education workshops and programs.
