The Dept. of Pedodontics offers undergraduate & postgraduate training in Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry. During the undergraduate program, the batch of 100 students are introduced to the basics of the subject and the aim is to prepare them to handle the child patient with confidence during their professional careers. The Residents in the 3 year Post Graduate program receive extensive clinical and didactic training in Pediatric Dentistry through seminars, lectures, demonstrations, and clinical experiences, including: comprehensive care of healthy as well as special needs children and adolescents, restorative dentistry, pulp therapy, periodontal therapy, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic behavior management techniques, space maintenance, orthodontic therapy, growth and development, treatment of patients under sedation, treatment of patients in the operation theatre under general anesthesia, and management of traumatic injuries and emergency care.
The department boasts of North India’s only institution based facility in the field of Nitrous Oxide Conscious Sedation for the provision of painless & anxiety free dental treatment and training of clinicians in the modality. Overall, the emphasis of the Pediatric Dentistry program on provision of diversified educational experiences aimed at problem solving. Our department offers more in-depth clinical and research experiences than traditional programs and is aimed at the serious clinician, future academician or the budding investigator.
Lasers are being used in the Dept. of Pediatric Dentistry in the painless management of soft tissue lesions and in the treatment of pulpal pathologies. The residents have trained in the use of lasers and are proficient in handling of the patients under this state-of-the-art modality.
