Mission

E-ARC - Edentulism & Anodontia Research Centre

  • To study the basic mechanisms of sequel of tooth loss,
  • To study the cause and effect of tooth loss, the diagnostic and treatment modalities,
  • To perform original research, which will improve the ability to understand, recognize and treat the various edentulous situations.
  • To conduct several continuing dental education programmes for the research scholars, the scientific community, and for post-graduate students in the dental fraternity.


The e-ARC aims to support a wide range of clinical research projects with emphasis on new therapies and diagnostic intervention for the treatment of tooth loss and subsequent functional deficit. The centre operates under the ethical guidelines for good clinical practice to increase the interest by dental professionals and the post-graduate students to conduct dental clinical research in the campus.

This centre is comprised of research scholars who are trained in various arenas of prosthodontics, among other disciplines. The Lab also enrols Ph.D. scholars, and trains future academic dentists for dental school faculties.
