A student in the sophomore year is introduced to the subject through didactic teaching as well as practical training to simulate clinical procedures on phantom heads.

In the senior year, the clinical skills of the student are enhanced by personal guidance of the student’s work, not only on a day-to-day basis, but on a step-by step approach while performing a particular clinical procedure.

Further, the student is encouraged to involve himself in discussions with the teacher-in-charge. New skills are imparted through chair-side demonstrations and asking the student to emulate the same principles in his clinical practice. In the final year, complex restorative procedures and an introduction to clinical endodontic practice form the foundation for the clinical training. Didactic teaching continues during both the third and final years of the bachelor’s course. Besides a formal subjective system for evaluation in the form of terminal and professional examinations, informal objective question based exercises and self learning modules are also encouraged so that the student can try and discover newer aspects of the subject without any anxiety.
