Periodontics & Implantology

Department Description

The Department of Periodontics was established in 2006, coinciding with the founding of the institution. The MDS course was introduced in 2014. The faculty comprises 2 Professors, 5 Readers, and 5 Senior Lecturers.

The department is well-equipped with a dedicated departmental and digital library, 2 computer terminals with a printer and scanner, an LCD projector. Over the last five years, additional advanced equipment such as a diode laser, and modern dental units have been introduced. Moreover, the college’s central library is well-stocked with books, journals, and e-journals, ensuring ample resources for students and faculty alike.

Each faculty member mentors a group of 3-4 students, providing regular monthly counseling sessions to monitor progress and address any challenges the students may face.

In order to stay updated with the latest advancements in the field, the faculty actively participates in professional development programs, including clinical skill enhancement workshops at the local, state, and national levels, as well as teacher training sessions aimed at refining pedagogical skills.

Since 2015, the department has annually organized various national programs in collaboration with the Indian Society of Periodontology. These events include celebrations of Oral Hygiene Day, Oral Health Day, and professional development programs, further promoting awareness and advancing knowledge in the field of periodontology.

The department actively engages in numerous ongoing and completed research projects, led by both faculty and students. Over the past five years, the faculty has contributed around numerous publications in various state, national, and international journals, demonstrating their commitment to advancing the field.

For BDS students, continuous assessment is conducted alongside sessional and term examinations. This includes regular class tests, end-posting vivas, case discussions, and quiz competitions, enabling faculty to identify and support slower learners while encouraging advanced students to participate in research projects.

Additionally, the BDS and MDS curricula have been revised and enhanced under the guidance of TN MGR University to stay aligned with current academic and professional standards.
