Department of Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge

About Us

  • The Department of Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge equips undergraduate and postgraduate students to meet the goal of competent management of patients with prosthodontic needs, arrive at a diagnosis, and plan the sequence of treatment. It provides good clinical care for patients requiring comprehensive and advanced phases of prosthodontic treatment like occlusal rehabilitation, full-mouth, rehabilitation, and implant-supported prosthesis, and extraoral/intraoral maxillofacial prosthesis.
  • Prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with designing, manufacturing, and fitting artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth. It is a branch of dentistry that is mainly concerned with the cosmetic restoration of lost orofacial structures (aesthetic restoration). Maxillofacial prosthodontics is a subspecialty of prosthodontics that deals with the prosthesis of the oral and maxillofacial region. Aesthetic restoration of lost orofacial structures is done through removable and fixed prostheses.
  • Removable prostheses include removable dentures (artificial teeth) - both complete and partial sets. while fixed prostheses include bridges, crowns, and implant-supported dentures. Rigorous training and experience provide prosthodontists with a special understanding of the dynamics of the smile, the preservation of a healthy mouth, and the creation of tooth replacements.
  • The Department is the first in Asia to have CAD/CAM technology with the latest scanner system, an advanced implant clinic supporting all systems, and injection molding processing systems to produce high-quality dentures and titanium casting machines.

Prosthodontics treatment provided includes the fabrication of

  • Crowns and bridges
  • Complete and removable partial dentures
  • Implant-supported restorations
  • Smile design
  • Management of temporomandibular joint problems
  • Traumatic injuries to the teeth / orofacial region
  • Congenital disorders like cleft lip and cleft palate
  • Snoring or sleep disorders
  • Oral cancer reconstruction and continuing care

Quick Access

OUR VISION

  • To promote academic excellence, widen intellectual horizons, inculcate self-discipline, and set high ideals for the total personality development of each individual.
  • To convert Novice into a competent professional with excellent theoretical knowledge and unsurpassed practical/clinical skills and to motivate interest in research activities.

OUR MISSION

  • To be recognized for setting the standards of excellence in professional education and high-quality scientific research in the department of prosthodontics.

Infrastructure

  • Department Infrastructure
    Department Infrastructure
    • The Department of Prosthodontics & Implantology was started in the year 2008. The department mainly deals with rehabilitation of lost or missing oral / dental structures associated in the maxillofacial region using artificial substitutes to restore function and esthetics. The department also extends services by providing artificial substitutes for lost limbs and digits. The treatment provided includes the making of
    • Crowns and bridges
    • Complete and removable partial dentures
    • Implant supported restorations
    • Smile design
    • Management of temporomandibular joint problems
    • Traumatic injuries to the teeth / orofacial region
    • Congenital disorders like cleft lip and cleft palate
    • Snoring or sleep disorders
    • Oral cancer reconstruction and continuing care
    Clinics and Laboratories
    Clinics and Laboratories
    • The department boasts of an expansive UG & PG Clinic with a separate implant section in the clinical block. In the pre-clinical block, a state of the art casting laboratory and ceramic section that churns out about 100 units per month on an average is a pride of this department. The laboratory houses equipment from the best in business and includes metal/full ceramic/ metal fused to ceramic/metal castings /metal free /best of acryliser to name a few. The preclinical students get to work in a patient simulation laboratory before working on patients.
    CAD/CAM Section
    CAD/CAM Section
    • The Department is proud to have a specialized CAD/CAM Section. Our college is the first Dental College in Asia to have Computer Aided Designing with the latest scanning system from 3 Shape. This helps in designing and fabricating the prosthesis in a very minimal time period reducing the actual chairside time for the patient. This also helps in patient education about the change of smile that can be brought about by the digital smile designing.
    Community Service
    Community Service
    • The department offers services to geriatric patients by providing the complete denture free of cost and free complete denture camps are organized periodically.
    Supplementary Activities
    Supplementary Activities
    • In addition to the routine academic programs, students are encouraged to attend international/ national and state level conferences, symposiums and workshops. Our students over the years have won various accolades and awards in scientific presentations including oral presentation,quiz,skills related competitions and posters. The staff are involved in clinical research and in handling the various challenging cases walking into the hospital.
    • The department has been organizing various dental education programs and contests like Smile Architect – A Talent search contest, Teach the Teacher – Post Graduate teacher workshop and CDE programs on all disciplines of Prosthodontics by eminent speakers.
