Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Periodontology

Admissions are made on the basis of merit of the NEET examination conducted by the authorized agencies of the Central Govt. and through Counselling.

Periodontology is the dental specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the gingiva, or “gums” and other surrounding tissues. The Department of Periodontology & Oral Implantology educates undergraduate students in the didactic and clinical applications necessary to perform the entire spectrum of periodontal procedures. The department includes the MDS program which is a three-year program with an intake capacity of 5 students per year. The department also includes the Dental Hygiene Program, which has an intake capacity of 20 students per year. The goal of the Department is to promote periodontal dentistry as dental medicine where prevention can be practiced. Periodontists believe that personal good oral hygiene behaviors are best taught to and practiced by age-specific and social groups through oral health education. Periodontal medicine perceives good oral health as an open gateway to good general systemic health and documents the many links to general systemic health affected by the destructive presence of inflammation and oral infection from bacteria.

• The admission process the MMDU is very simple. Aspirants can get the admission form online or at the college campus if they choose to. Either way the payment they will have to make would be Rs. 1000. They can obtain an admission form from the Administrative Office or get a printout of it from the official site. Students can also get the admission form delivered to their homes by post. In that case, they will have to send out a DD of Rs. 1050.00 in favor of the Registrar of the University.
• In case you wish to download the admission form from the website you will again have to enclose with it a Demand Draft of Rs. 1000.00 when you send it back after having duly filled it in.
• The MMDU has also made it very easy for the students to fill in the Online Application Form. Once they visit the official website, they will be guided step by step and will eventually receive a link accompanied by a User ID and password on their registered email ID. They will then click on that link and follow the procedure step by step.
