HOD Desk

Conservative   dentistry & Endodontics is considered to be one of the branches   that make up the cream of dentistry. It consists of procedures and   techniques that require a lot of precision, skill and definitely logical   reasoning.

The branch includes invasive along with minimal   intervention techniques.  "Conservation and Preservation" are the two   key words around which the branch revolves. Esthetics in today's society   is of prime importance and this branch deals with this part of the   dentistry too.

 The objective of this branch is to minimally   invade the tissues and preserve as much as the natural tooth structure   while getting rid of the disease process occurring in the tooth.

Our Department   believes in giving the best available treatment to the patients since   its birth in 1980.  It is very important to have a good patient-doctor   rapport. So the patient is made well acquainted with the work place so   that he/she is comfortable while undergoing the treatment. Patient’s   time constraints are also taken into consideration, and the best   possible treatment in the available time is duly provided to them. All   the treatment options are put across to the patient while providing   detail explanation to them regarding each.

The work done in the   Department is of good quality, keeping in mind the latest concepts in   the field of dentistry. The various procedures carried on include simple   restorations to preserving and restoring a badly mutilated tooth. The   students working in the department are given a free hand to work and all   the facilities including the latest materials are provided. The   treatments offered to patients are:  Restorations of carious and non carious lesions, whitening of tooth   (Bleaching), esthetic contouring , veneering of teeth, providing teeth   with crowns, reattachment procedures, splinting of teeth, management of   fractured teeth, single and multiple visit root canal treatment,   periapical and corrective surgical procedures, endodontic implant   placement. All these above are provided to the patient with utmost   precision and care. All these cases treated in the Department are   documented and followed up regularly. The department also owns the   latest equipment's like RVG, Apex locators, Instrument retrieval kits,   electro cautry unit, Ultra sonic unit, obturation systems and many more.   All in all, the Department is well equipped to provide the patients   with best possible treatment and the students with the wide variety of   materials and equipments to develop their skills. Apart from the   clinical work, lot of research work and studies are carried on in the   department. The students and staff actively participate in the national   conferences and Conventions. A number of scientific paper and posters   presented and many awards have been won by the post-graduate students   and under-graduate students.

We also have been selected to carry   on with the Post graduate Certificate Course in Endodontics course in   the Department since this year (June 2009) which extends over a period   of years. This course is affiliated to IGNOU (DCI recognized). The   patient walking into the department always has a lot of expectations   from the doctors, and our department always believes in satisfying their   needs. A patient who walks into the Department of conservative   dentistry and endodontics is usually the one in pain. So we also focus   on providing the patient with a pain free treatment. A lot of stress is   laid upon effective pain control modalities. Thus we provide the patient   with a lot of social confidence which is seen through a radiant smile   and a perfect esthetic set of teeth. Our prestigious institution, BDCH,   started in the year 1979. Since then it has come a long way in providing   academic excellence to the students. Our institution stands tall among   the few best Dental colleges in India and is very well reputed both   nationally and internationally for the quality of education it provides.
                       
 It's   my pride to say that BDCH has completed its Silver Jubilee in the year   2004 and is still progressing and looking forward for completing its   Golden Jubilee. The college and the department has a very good library   and internet facility. The college library has an excellent collection of latest text books and journals for reference.      The institution also focuses on all round development of students, so   extracurricular activities are also a part of the student’s time in the   college during their course period.
                       
The Department of   Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics focuses in future to develop more   on the clinical procedures performed.
