Preclinical courses are taught in specialized teaching laboratories to prepare the students for the clinical courses. Dental students are introduced to all aspects of dentistry by performing procedures on simulation mannequins before starting their clinics.
The Multipurpose Lab and the CAD/CAM Lab feature the latest technologies available to produce consistent and quality dental prosthetics partial and full dentures, dental crowns and dental bridges; for the patients being treated by students, residents and faculty members.
