Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
The Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics aims to impart Oral health care by providing correction of small defects of teeth which do not require full coverage restorations, esthetic treatment and salvaging deep defects of teeth by endodontic therapy. The department provides a range of treatment from direct and indirect tooth restorations, in office bleaching techniques, regular pulp space therapy, root end surgeries, smile design, full mouth rehabilitations and state of the art infrastructure using Er.YAG lasers, Diode Lasers and Dental Operating Microscope. The undergraduate training enables the student to undergo training in glass ionomer cement restoration, composite restoration, permanent filling followed by root canal treatment and root canal treatment in anterior teeth.Types of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
Re-treating teeth that failed to heal after initial RCT.
Procedures like apicectomy (root-end removal), periapical surgery, hemisection (removing half a tooth), and perforation repair.
Techniques to replace damaged pulp tissue to continue root development in young patients.
Treatments for broken, loosened, or dislodged teeth.
Direct filling materials such as dental amalgam, glass ionomer, and composite resin, as well as tooth-colored fillings (inlays/onlays).
Diagnosis and prevention of dental caries (cavities).
Enhances aesthetics, including veneers (porcelain/composite), enamel microabrasion, and tooth contouring.
Vital and non-vital bleaching (home or in-office) to address tooth discoloration.
Use of microscopes for improved visibility in root canal procedures.
Cast, prefabricated, or fiber posts used to provide structural support for crowns on severely damaged teeth.

Benefits of Prosthodontic Care
01
Focuses on treating diseased or injured teeth while removing minimal, if any, healthy tooth structure.
02
Endodontic procedures (root canals) remove infected pulp, relieving severe pain and preventing systemic infections.
03
Utilizes modern techniques and restorative materials (e.g., tooth-colored fillings, inlays, veneers) that match the patient's natural tooth color.
04
By avoiding tooth extraction, patients prevent the need for more expensive prosthetic replacements like implants or bridges.
05
Utilizes technologies such as dental microscopes and micro-abrasion to work with high precision, often resulting in less discomfort and faster recovery.
06
Restores the ability to eat, chew, and speak properly by fixing cavities, restoring broken teeth, and fixing discoloration.
Faculties
Advances in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
The postgraduate program imparts meticulous training in conservative dentistry works, crown, inlay, onlay, endo crown and root canal treatment. They also undergo extensive training in rotary files, root canal surgery, post and core, corrective surgical endodontic works.
A responsible patient care protocol is practiced throughout. Stringent infection control protocols, disposable materials, isolation rooms for aerosol generating procedures, daily fumigation of the department to ensure high level of sterilization and disinfection.
