VISION:
The vision of our department is to ensure the optimal health of the tissues around the teeth and to improve the general health of patients, thereby becoming a center of excellence for periodontal education, to provide the best periodontal care, and to conduct research that contributes to evidence-based periodontal practice.
MISSION:
The mission of Department of Periodontics and Oral Implantology is to train the students in the maintenance of health, function, comfort and esthetics of all the tissues & supporting structures in the mouth. This is achieved by providing the students with a strong educational foundation in the identification of the health and disease in the periodontium, management of periodontal conditions by instituting therapy to preserve, improve & maintain the natural dentition and dental implants with the objective of achieving health, comfort, esthetics and function. We encourage students to follow Evidence based periodontal teaching and practice to achieve maximum patient satisfaction.
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure used to treat gum disease by removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smoothing the tooth roots. This helps reduce inflammation, prevent further damage, and promote gum healing.
Electrocautery in periodontics uses electrical currents to precisely cut or remove soft tissue while minimizing bleeding. It is commonly used in procedures like gum reshaping and lesion removal, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of infection.
Lasers in periodontics are used for precise, minimally invasive procedures like gum reshaping and bacteria removal. They reduce bleeding, promote faster healing, and minimize discomfort, offering a sterile environment and improved patient outcomes.
Mucogingival surgeries in periodontics address issues with the gum tissue, such as recession or inadequate tissue, to improve both function and appearance. Procedures like gum grafts and frenectomies help restore gum health, prevent further recession, and protect teeth from damage, enhancing overall oral aesthetics and comfort.
An intraoral camera in periodontics is a small device that captures detailed images of the mouth, aiding in diagnosis and patient education. It helps dentists show real-time visuals of gum issues, enhancing understanding, treatment planning, and communication with patients.
Dental implants are a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. These titanium posts integrate with the jawbone, acting like natural tooth roots and providing strong support for artificial teeth. With proper care, they offer a lasting, effective solution for those who have lost teeth due to gum disease or other conditions.
Periodontal splints are dental devices used to stabilize teeth that have become loose due to periodontal disease or trauma. They work by connecting the affected teeth together, distributing the biting forces evenly across multiple teeth, which helps reduce movement and promote healing.
