RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS

Our facilitators strive to drive students towards evidence based learning by doing short term research projects. Undergraduates get a chance to develop their skills related to research which would be useful for them during their future endeavours of higher education and profession.

Research projects done are translated to publications in eminent leading journals with good impact factors which are indexed in either Thomson Reuters, PubMed, SCOPUS or Clarivate Analytics / Web of Science. Undergraduates complete their course with a minimal of 5 publications and Postgraduates with 15 publications.

SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS

PROJECTS

COLLABORATORS FOR RESEARCHES

MV DIABETICS, CHENNAI

The prevalence of juvenile diabetes is 1:10,000 population in India. Oral hygiene status and incidence of dental caries were evaluated in the children with juvenile diabetes. Thus, creating awareness among the population about the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene in these children who are more prone to develop oral diseases.

LOYOLA COLLEGE, CHENNAI

A collaboration with the prestigious loyola college of chennai has enabled to evaluate the sealing ability of the newer material Biodentine to that of the ProRoot MTA which has better track record in sealing pulpal floor perforation compared to of any other repair material present in the market. 

HKU UNIVERSITY, Hong Kong

Postgraduates of pediatric dentistry are sent for observership to the university of Hong Kong. This enables them to have an international standard of knowledge in addition to the education given in Saveetha University

CIPET, West Bengal

Researches related to compressive strength, shear bond strength of dental materials are done in collaboration with Central Institute of Plastic Engineering and Technology for faster and accurate results
