Overview
The Department of Periodontology is endowed with state of the art infrastructure, including fully equipped dental chairs for UG & PG sections, diode laser unit, ultra-surgical (piezo) unit, multiple implant systems, RVG unit, operating microscope and specialised instruments for bone graft, sinus lift and ridge augmentation procedures. .
The Department specialises in regenerative periodontal procedures, soft tissue augmentation and local drug delivery procedures together with a separate cell for advanced surgeries like implant placement, sinus lifting and ridge augmentation. The Department conducts CDE programmes every year in various aspects of the discipline for uplifting the knowledge and skills of the faculty and students. .
The Department is keen to ensure that under graduate students get an overall appraisal of the subject enabling them to practice Periodontology at the general dentist level after graduation, while each post graduate student is coached individually according to his/her interest, so that they can excel in academia, research and/or clinical practice in the future.
The Department is in continuous collaboration with Prosthodontic, Orthodontic, Endodontic and Oral Pathology and Microbiology Departments of the Institution and IIT, Patna, for clinical work and research activities. Currently the Department is involved in the following research activities : bone augmentation with PRF, soft tissue augmentation with amniotic and chorion membranes, researches on implants, diagnostic & preventive periodontal procedures, and epidemiological studies in and around Patna.
Our post graduate students have bagged numerous awards at the state and national levels, including first prize in paper presentation at Society of Oral Laser Application in 2014, first Prize for poster presentation at 38th ISP National Conference at Kochi in 2014, poster presentation prize at 42nd National ISP Conference in 2017, best poster presentation at 43rd National ISP Conference at Chandigarh in 2018, first prize in inter-college Quiz Competition organised by SCB Dental College, Cuttack, in 2021, session best paper and best poster presentations at 23rd National Convention of Indian Society of Periodontology at Kolkata.
Periodontology is the branch of dentistry that focuses exclusively on the diseases of gums and other supporting structures around the teeth. Students in this branch are trained in diagnosis, prevention and management of periodontal diseases and placement of dental implants as well as management of soft and hard tissue diseases around dental implants. The ultimate goal of this subject is to achieve such a healthy state of gums and bones that is amenable to natural teeth, crowns, bridges, root canal treated teeth as well as dental implants.
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES
UG curriculum
The Department of Periodontology at Buddha Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital provides avenues for all round development throughout undergraduate training. The undergraduate course of Periodontology is taught both as a subject matter course and as clinical practice, in order to allow dental students to integrate their periodontal knowledge with the rest of the dental clinical sciences. With separate undergraduate section, the department emphasises on quality and precision in the standard of care. The department’s objective is to train the students in non-surgical and preventive periodontal procedures like scaling, root planing, curettage and expose them to opportunities to learn and master a variety of periodontal surgical techniques like gingivectomy, flap surgeries, periodontal esthetic and periodontal plastic surgeries and implant procedures. .
PG Curriculum
The postgraduate students acquire proficiency in all diagnostic and therapeutic areas of Periodontology, including surgical aspects of implant therapy, sinus lifting, ridge augmentation, socket preservation, soft and hard tissue augmentation, periodontal esthetic and periodontal plastic surgery, in addition to regular periodontal surgical procedures like gingivectomy and flap surgery. Students are encouraged to use modern technology like intraoral scanning and CAD-CAM technology, wherever applicable. The clinical programme is such that it works in collaboration with other departments of the dental hospital to enable the post . graduate student to acquire the necessary skills for the treatment of complex multidisciplinary cases. Here we facilitate well equipped modern dental chairs and advanced surgical equipment like piezo surgical unit, surgical microscope, diode laser etc. Occasional lectures by eminent guest speakers expose the students to latest advances in the subject. Basic and clinical research under the guidance of experienced faculty prepares students for a career in research and academics, if they so desire.
CDE Programme
Department of Periodontics offers regular CDE programme for upgrading clinical knowledge, the most famous ones in past being ‘Hard Made Easy’, ‘Perio Vihara’, ‘Basic Implant for the Beginners’, ‘Mastering Sinus Lift’ etc.
