The department of Operative Dentistry and Endodontics was established in 2003 at MTH which provides high standard of care services to huge number of patients each year. The department is well furnished with latest equipment and modern technologies are used to render contemporary diagnostic, surgical and non-surgical treatments to various dental diseases. Operative Dentistry encompasses the specialties of

The department plays an important role in establishing the fundamental concepts of dentistry to pre-clinical (2nd and 3rd year) dental students in phantom head lab and clinical (4th year) students in the Operative clinic regarding diagnosis, prevention and various dental treatments including repair & restorative techniques for tooth structure loss because of caries, trauma, infection, or disease. The students are taught through various teaching methodologies like interactive lectures, tutorials, small group discussion and in a fun & nurturing environment.
Under supervision of highly qualified faculty, BDS students perform their duties in the department and complete their clinical requisites as part of the Operative Dentistry course for BDS. Our devoted staff help to train the students to develop skills and knowledge required to manage the treatment needs of patients. Importance is also given to learn ethical values, professionalism, and research work. We desire to produce dentists who are consistent in learning and are competent in providing comprehensive restorative and rehabilitative treatment to their patients thus contributing to the oral health care system.
Recently, in July 2024, the department was recognized for FCPS postgraduate training in Operative Dentistry & Endodontics by College of Physician and Surgeons of Pakistan.
The vision of an Operative Dentistry and Endodontics department is to lead in dental education, research, and patient care by producing highly skilled, ethical, and compassionate professionals.
The department aims to provide high-quality, patient-centered care and education that enhances the general health and welfare of patients by preserving their natural teeth. The ultimate goal is to restore the health, form, function, phonetics and aesthetics of the teeth while preserving as much natural tooth as possible
Operative dentistry consists of all the procedures including preventive measures by which natural teeth may be conserved and thus maintaining the natural masticating mechanism. This includes restoring and maintain form, function, phonetics and esthetics, occlusal re-establishment and stability of teeth and surrounding supporting tissues. The students also learn the unique combination of psychomotor skills in a professional way in restoring the stomatognathic system and the welfare of the whole patient through Operative Dentistry training at UMDC.
