The Department of Prosthodontics & Crown and Bridge at EIDS deals with the restoration of natural teeth, replacement of missing teeth and contiguous maxillofacial tissues with artificial substitutes by fabricating complete and removable partial dentures, crowns, fixed dental prosthesis, laminate/veneers, inlays, post endodontic restorations, maxillofacial prosthesis and implants. The teaching program prepares the under graduate and post-graduate students for successful careers in a global society. This specialty improves the health of the community and the world by setting the standard of excellence in dental education, research and clinical care.
The aim of Prosthodontic curriculum is to enable students to manage prosthodontic patients with minimal supervision. As such, students are expected to develop the necessary core skills for gathering diagnostic information, developing a sequential treatment plan, and performing basic prosthodontic procedures by using sound clinical judgments. The Prosthodontics curriculum is organized to provide an overview of Removable Prosthodontics (complete and partially edentulous patients) and Fixed Prosthodontics. Each lecture will be structured to provide a review of the basic fundamentals of the lecture topic, a discussion of the application of these fundamentals to patient treatment, and an update on the latest technological advances/treatment modalities.
Professor & HOD

The Undergrade student upon completion of the course is made competent to deal with basic prosthodontic work like complete and partial dentures, single unit anterior and posterior fixed prosthesis. The post grad student will become an expert in the specialty, able to deal comprehensively with all kind of prosthetic work including complex full mouth rehabs, implant prosthesis and cutting edge treatment modelled on the latest prosthodontic digital work flow.
Dr Veena M S secured 2nd rank in MDS Examination conducted by KUHS University in July 2022
