Department of Conservative dentistry and Endodontics
Integration of Implant module in Endodontic Curriculum
The
Department of Conservative dentistry and Endodontics ,
Bangalore institute of dental sciences ,becomes the first institute in the
country to successfully integrate the implant module into the Endodontic
curriculum from 2015-18 batch.
An
insight into the implant program will provide the student with necessary tools
to ensure predictable treatment approaches and outcomes. With this, the
students will be able to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to the
overall treatment plan for the dental patient.
While
Endodontists can perform highly conservative root canal therapy, time has come
for them to evolve into “under structure
specialists” as well. Endodontists who can place implants can make an
unbiased choice regarding whether root canal therapy or an implant placement
will work.
