Students will be gain fundamental basics of the dental subjects .They will be introduced to the different dental specialties and get a solid foundation for the future clinical dental courses. A range of subjects will be taught including Oral Biology, Dental Morphology, Oral Pathology, Oral Medicine and Radiology.

This branch of dentistry deals with conservation of the tooth structure , thus helping to preserve the natural dentition of the patient. The treatment modalities rendered include restorative procedures for carious teeth and other defects of the teeth like fracture, erosion, and abrasion . Endodontic treatment is rendered in teeth having pulpal diseases. Courses are taught at both preclinical and clinical levels.

The courses in preventive dental sciences primarily deal with the concepts, principles, and methods of preventing dental diseases with emphasis on primary preventive measures. Courses covered will include Pediatric dentistry, Orthodontics, Dental Ethics and Public Health Dentistry.

Students are trained in minor exodontia and oral surgery procedures including the removal of teeth buried in bone , diagnostic techniques and therapy for acute and chronic diseases of the oro-facial region. Student will also be trained in replacing missing teeth with removable or fixed prosthesis . The departments of Oral Surgery and Prosthodontics are involved in delivering the courses.
