The Department of Prosthodontics is one of the first few departments to commence functioning, in accordance to the Dental Council regulations, right from the very inception of the institution. Since then, the department has been regularly providing a very high standard of rehabilitation services in all forms, be it the routine removable dentures, crowns and fixed partial dentures or the more complex implant-based rehabilitations or maxillofacial prostheses for people with any sort of deformity or defect in the head and neck region. Thanks to the generosity of our beloved Chairperson, all dentures are given to patients free of charge and this has generated a lot of goodwill amongst the community. Denture camps or awareness drives at old age homes are conducted at regular intervals to ensure public awareness of this facility.

The department occupies the entire southern wing ofKLR Lenora Institute of Dental Sciences and has a dedicated entrance to enable easy access for the elderly or patients with special needs. The 60 undergraduate and postgraduate dental chairs adorn the length of the clinical section making a very impressive sight. The processing labs and other facilities are adjacent to the clinical wing. The preclinical section comprises of two portions. One, the preclinical Prosthodontics Bunsen burner lab, has a seating capacity for 120 students and the other, the preclinical typodont lab, has a capacity for sixty students.

In the Department of Prosthodontics and Crowns and Bridges, patients with clinical issues associated with missing or underdeveloped teeth get diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of oral function. Restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry are its main areas of concentration. In addition to patient care, the department values innovative research and teaching methodologies.

Numerous research opportunities exist in prosthodontics for the creation of prosthetics for individuals with maxillofacial deformities and for replacing missing teeth with implants. The department team is excited to take advantage of this chance for research projects. The department’s employees have participated in numerous scientific forums, given speeches and guest lectures, and presented research papers and seminars across the country.

Department practices standard operating procedures at subsidized cost without any compromise in the quality. Total rehabilitation of patients is the Moto of the department.
