Overview


Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics was established as a specialized unit at ACDS in 2001 at inception. The Department was initially part of comprehensive clinic located at the old campus location at Mercury Lines, Trimulgherry, Secunderabad prior to moving into the spacious current location in May 2003. Primary goal of the Department is prevention, diagnosis and conservative treatment of dental caries and diseases and defects of natural teeth. It aims at restoring the teeth to proper form, function and esthetics using the latest techniques, materials and procedures in a pleasing manner with as little loss of the healthy tooth structure as possible.

Conservative Dentistry is the branch of dentistry which is concerned with the conservation of teeth in the mouth. It embraces the practice of direct and indirect restorations of individual teeth. Endodontics encompasses the study and practice of the basics and clinical sciences of normal dental pulp, its etiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries of the dental pulp along with associated periradicular conditions.

In layman terms, this branch can be called ‘tooth savers’, which works to retaining the tooth in the oral cavity through fillings and root canal treatment and additional work with ‘cosmetic dentistry’ which includes smile designing and tooth whitening.

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics at ACDS offers undergraduate as well as postgraduate teaching programs. The Department has an intake of forty undergraduates and three postgraduates every academic year. Conservative dentistry and Endodontics is taught at the undergraduate level in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of training. Post graduate training started in the year 2009. MDS in Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics is a three year program.

Purpose of the course is to provide advanced education in the subject to highly qualified graduate dentists who are interested in a career of specialized practice, teaching and research. It provides complete oral care with surgical procedures to relieve pain and elimination of infection at the root end of the teeth. It aims at conservative management like vital pulp therapies, regenerative pulpal procedures, treatment of traumatic injuries like sport assaults and road traffic accidents including avulsion injuries. Treatment is provided to the patients with utmost care and under proper guidance with a patient centric approach. It has state-of-the-art technology, dedicated teaching and non-teaching staff and infrastructure to render good services to patients.

Because of the high quality of work delivered, the Department has a heavy footfall of patients travelling from far and near.

Special Highlights
The Department has a National presence and reputation with more than 50 publications, 20 best poster and paper presentations. It has hosted various CDE programmes and workshops. It also organised an International Conference. ACDS has its presence at various forums by virtue of being invited Keynote Speaker.
