Dental Science is an area that has gained tremendous
recognition in recent years. In the past, this important facet of Medical
Science was neglected in comparison with mainstream medicine. The ratio of
qualified Dental Surgeons was very low as compared to other medical faculties.
This prompted the K.L.E. Society to establish a Dental College, one that would
serve the populace of Karnataka and neighboring states. The Institute of Dental
Sciences was setup in August 1985, within a sprawling 113 acre campus of the
Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College. The Institute got off to a flying start under
the leadership of late Dr. S.S. Khera as the first Principal.
The Dental Council of India (the apex body) gave the
approval for the BDS course in 1989, since then the institution has come a long
way and gained numerous accolades in the process.
Post Graduate course in dentistry was started in the year
1990. Today it prides itself in rendering Masters in all branches of Dentistry.
All the courses are approved by the Dental Council of India. The BDS and MDS
courses are affiliated to K.L.E University since 2006 and batches prior to them
to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore.
Today, the Institute boasts of an accomplished faculty in
all departments. The laboratories and clinics are spacious, well furnished and
have state of the art equipments and gadgets, both indigenous and imported to
facilitate an excellent environment that is conducive for learning &
patient care.
