The Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics at the Meghna institute of Dental Sciences, was established in the year 2006. The department aims at the diagnosis & treatment of dental caries and its sequel, teeth malformations and discolorations, thereby restoring the teeth to full function in an aesthetically pleasing manner.



Faculty
