HOD MESSAGE



As the Head of the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, I am deeply honored to welcome you to our dynamic and thriving academic community. It is with great pride that I lead this esteemed department, where we not only focus on imparting academic knowledge but also on shaping future leaders in the field of dentistry. Our team of dedicated faculty members, who are highly skilled professionals, and our enthusiastic students, who bring fresh perspectives and a relentless drive to learn, all share a common vision: to preserve and restore oral health with the highest levels of excellence, precision, and compassion.


Our department is firmly committed to delivering a comprehensive and rigorous education in conservative dentistry and endodontics. We believe that dental care goes beyond just treating dental issues—it is about building lasting relationships with patients, understanding their unique needs, and applying advanced techniques to ensure their well-being. The discipline of conservative dentistry focuses on preserving as much of the natural tooth structure as possible while effectively managing conditions like dental decay, wear, and trauma. Endodontics, on the other hand, is the branch of dentistry that specializes in treating the pulp which is the heart of the tooth especially when they are affected by infections or injuries. Both fields are vital to the restoring and rehabhilitating the tooth back in to function, We aim to train our students to be not only proficient clinicians but also compassionate caregivers.
