Overview
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 in
2013. 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 Chairman, 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 of Anil Neerukonda Institute of Dental Sciences and
has a dedicated entrance to enable easy access for the elderly or patients with special needs. The 50
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.
