• UG curriculum
  As per DCI regulations

• PG curriculum
  The Post Graduate programme is of three years duration starts with the training in the pre clinical work and non-surgical periodontal therapy. This is followed by treatment of patients with surgical periodontal therapy with a special emphasis on various regenerative techniques. Regular seminars and journal club reviews are a part of the postgraduate training programme. The students are encouraged to attend national and international conferences and present scientific papers and posters. The post graduate students are also required to submit a library and main dissertation as a partial fulfillment of the M.D.S requirements.
