The Department of Periodontology is a pioneering department dedicated to advancing periodontal care. Since its inception, the department has been instrumental in teaching Periodontology to undergraduate students. In 2008, we introduced the MDS course in Periodontics (3 seats/year). Additionally, we offer a two-year full-time Dental Hygiene course recognized by the Dental Council of India.

Our commitment to excellence extends to research, with active involvement in numerous projects and publications in national and international journals.
