- The aim is to inculcate the spirit of Inquiry and scientific temper. The college appreciates and acknowledges the importance of research activities for rendering the quality dental care to the patients and society. All the departments of MGVKBH are well equipped with the infrastructure and needed support for conducting research. To facilitate research activities the department the department of conservative dentistry and endodontics has endosonic handpieces, operating microscopes, surgical endo kits, magnifying loupes etc.
- The department of Prosthodontics is equipped with casting machine, milling machine, stereomicroscope, implant kits with physiodispenser and semiadjustable articulators. Electrosurgery unit, soft tissue laser, Bone regenerative materials and digital probes are available in the department of periodontology. Department of Orthodontics is equipped with Biostar, hydrosoldering unit and Digital cephalometric tracing software for facilitating research. The department of Oral pathology has Pentaheaded microscope, Semi-automatic microtome, automated tissue processor, trinocular microscope with camera attachments, PH meter, Automatic knife sharpener etc. The department of Pedodontics has got pulse oxymeter, conscious sedation unit, typodonts etc.
- While the department of Oral Radiology is equipped with RVG with intraoral radiography machine, CBCT machine, Biopsy equipment, illuminated mouth mirror and probes, analog OPG, Sialography cannula etc. Also the college is actively involved in encouraging inter-pathy and collaboration research activities.
- Every faculty is involved in some aspects of short term or long term, fundamental or advanced research activities. Student’s involvement in research is promoted by during their course of study. Basic research methodology workshops are conducted for UG and PG students for encouraging and motivating them for research activities. Numerous research projects have been completed and a large number of research projects are ongoing. Outcomes of research activities are not only presented at various national and international conferences but also form a rich scientific source for publication in national and international peer reviewed journals.
