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.
