DISSERTATION
To educate students for a future in teaching, research, and ethical practice and to guarantee that the general public receives high-quality oral health care, integrated teaching and learning programs offer effective educational and evaluation methodologies.
Training future prosthodontists to treat patients with compassion and care in all aspects of oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation. Community outreach programs that target underprivileged, elderly, and minority populations are also designed to instill a sense of social responsibility and moral superiority.
A comprehensive program that incorporates teaching and learning procedures tailored for multiple-level exams, fostering self-discipline, and expanding intellectual horizons, also provides execution tools for competency-building and problem-based learning.
Encourage publishing of research, both exploratory and investigative, from students to postgraduates by attending scientific conferences, implementing hands-on training, orientation programs, and continuing dental education programs at various levels; to provide lifelong learning and free exchange of ideas.
Ensure that all residents conduct scientific research, defend their findings publicly, submit a thesis, and receive a Master of Dental Science degree upon successful completion.
Faculty, professional dentists and specialists supervise our students at all times during their clinical experiences. The students are taught various treatments in dentistry, including Complete denture, Fixed partial dentures and removable partial denture.
Services are provided for the restoration of natural teeth with crowns and replacement of missing teeth with permanent bridges or implants (fixed prosthodontics) and the design and fabrication of complete, immediate and partial dentures to replace missing teeth (removable prosthodontics).
Procedures done in Implant clinic include Diagnosis and treatment planning, Guided implant surgery, followed by implant supported restorations, also Bone Augmentation procedures.
The teachers’ room is the place where staff can relax before or after class, consult with colleagues, plan lessons, discuss educational issues and socialize.
It is a room where a teacher or expert and a group of people meet to study and discuss something:
Departmental libraries (i.e., Library collection maintained by or for academic departments within faculty) generally are necessary where academic and research units of a University are spread over an extensive campus.
It is a lab used by technicians to make biocompatible, lifelike dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and veneers.
In dentistry, casting is the process of converting a detailed wax pattern of a dental restoration into alloy or ceramic. The casting process enables the dentist and dental laboratory to create personalized precision restorations for missing or damaged teeth.
Preclinical prosthodontics lab is nothing but place where dental students learn the laboratory steps of fabricating a complete denture on an ideal cast. It includes making:- a. Denture base. b. Occlusal rims.
The phantom head dental simulator is an excellent tool for dental students and professionals looking to improve their skills and knowledge. The screw-mounts base design allows fixing on table, and portable. It is mainly used for Training purpose: various of articulator movement adjustability, cavity preparation,Tooth preparation, etc.
