Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics
What we teach and treat
Preserving smiles. Restoring confidence. Inspiring excellence.
The department trains BDS and MDS students in the preservation, restoration and rehabilitation of natural teeth, shaping skilled and compassionate dentists who put the patient first. Its care centres on relieving pain, restoring function and saving natural teeth wherever possible — from a simple tooth-coloured filling to root canal retreatment and surgery under the operating microscope. The department offers the MDS in Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics.
Every patient who enters with pain must depart with a smile.
Where advanced technology meets compassionate care, and every natural tooth is given its best chance to survive.
