In view
of an imminent need for providing a public funded quality oral health care set
up to impart dental education and open avenues for research in the field of
Oral Health, a Dental Sciences Institute & Hospital was essential. Hence,
under the aegis of Panjab University with philanthropic donations from Dr.
Harvansh Singh Judge, was established Dr. Harvansh Singh Judge Institute of
Dental Sciences & Hospital in April, 2006. The Institute aims at providing
excellent oral health care facilities to the general public in addition to
undergraduate training to students. It has the ability to generate ample
research avenues in dental / medical sciences which can have a far reaching
impact on not only oral but general health with special thrust on community
healthcare and outreach programs for the children and the underserved
population.
This
Institute encompasses a total of 18 departments (9 dental and 9 medical) with 8
clinical and 11 pre-clinical and para-clinical laboratories. Within a short
span the Institute has been attending to 250-300 patients every day in the
various specialty clinics. A fully equipped diagnostic lab is functional at the
Institute which is carrying out innumerable bio-chemical, histo-pathological
and micro-biological tests at the Institute itself. The academic course being
offered in this Institute is Bachelor of Dental Surgery which is a four year
course followed by one year of compulsory rotatory internship with 100 students
being admitted each year. The Institute is duly approved by Dental Council of
India/Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India.
Our
faculty members have been keenly involved in conducting research in various
clinical and basic sciences. The major focus areas of this Institution is to
provide good and affordable dental treatment in various specialties to the
general public, carry out clinical research including surveys, diagnostics
& randomized controlled clinical trials, conduct outreach programs to
enhance oral health awareness to the underserved population for the benefit of
the masses and to provide clinical and didactic training as part of
undergraduate teaching curriculum.
