Periodontology residency (MDS Periodontology) is 3 year Program approved by Rajasthan state and recognized by Dental Council of India; permitted to take 3 seats/year since 2012. Residency program nurtures the budding Periodontist not only with theoretical aspects but also includes rigorous clinical training in terms of Preventive Periodontics, Periodontal regeneration (Soft &Hard tissue), Implants (conventional to immediate as well as complication management), sinus and ridge augmentation, Endo -perio lesions management, LASERS in Periodontics, Smile designing etc, by eminent and highly experienced teaching faculty .
Department of Periodontology and Oral Implantology is enriched with the best state of art infrastructure including major periodontal surgical equipment including Diode laser, Implant surgical kits with Physiodispenser, crestal and lateral sinus lift kits, electro-cautery units, magnifying loops etc. Special attention was delivered to the Undergraduate students & interns during their clinical training regarding diagnosis via group and chair side discussions so that along with routine periodontal therapy, they not only perform minor surgical treatment but also involved actively in major surgical procedures. Department also offers MDS since 2012-13 and provide specialized training to their post graduates regarding periodontal diagnosis, conventional non- surgical , routine and advanced periodontal soft (FGG, SCTG, LDF ,CAF etc.) and hard tissue regeneration therapy (utilizing GBR, GTR, Growth factors etc.), laser assisted periodontal surgeries, conventional , immediate implants, sinus lift training for implants, management of implant complications and many more.
