The aim of science of dental materials is not only delivering the didactic knowledge of basic principles of material science but also to train students in various laboratory techniques. It involves familiarization with clinical selection and handling techniques of various dental materials. There is a strong emphasis on performing various laboratory based tasks and contemporary restorative and prosthetic procedures. The subject covers different aspects of biomaterial sciences like characterization, properties and recent developments in field of dental materials. Students are actively involved in lab based clinical scenarios with focus on problem based learning. An integrated teaching curriculum involving Prosthetics and Operative Dentistry helps students develop the necessary skills required for delivery of quality patient care and awareness of current products and practices.
