FIRST-YEAR CURRICULUM

The curriculum focuses on laboratory training in the manipulation and uses of all the restorative dental materials along with in-depth didactic lectures on the same. The dental materials as per the new DCI regulation is taken up by the students in the second year. The learning hours Theory: 4 hours a month Practical: 8 hrs a month
 

SECOND-YEAR CURRICULUM

The curriculum focuses on the laboratory training regarding tooth preparations for restorations with different restorative materials in simulated phantom head models with ivorine teeth coupled with demonstrations in the advanced restorative systems. The training is substantiated with didactic lectures on the same topics. The learning hours Theory: 4 hrs a month Practical: 24 hrs a month
 

CLINICAL CURRICULUM

Third-year focuses on the clinical training on various restorative techniques and preventive treatment modalities on patients supported with group discussions, seminars and project work on the related topics. Fourth-year focuses on clinical training continues with emphasis on comprehensive patient care after assessing the caries risk status of the patient with appropriate restorative and preventive treatment modalities. Clinical training is done in pre endodontic, endodontic and post-endodontic treatment modalities. The training is supported by didactic lectures, group discussions, seminars and project work in the related topics. The learning hours Theory: 110 hrs in 3 yrs Clinical: 460 hrs in 3 yrs
