Research
The SDM Institutional Research committee was formulated in May 2009 with the prime intention of promoting research acumen amongst our undergraduate students. The goal of the Institutional Research committee is to promote community oriented research. Also this sets a platform for the undergraduate students to think and introduce newer techniques to serve the community.
The Research committee outlines a protocol for undertaking study projects in the institute. The research committee executes the undergraduate research through two research coordinators in each department under the guidance of the Head of the department. The coordinators work with a team of volunteered students.dable because faculty-supervised undergraduate or postgraduate dental students provide treatment. SDM has the following types of dental clinics.
The work is carried out in a stipulated period of time (three months). The approved study reports are encouraged to be presented in the undergraduate and speciality conferences appropriately.
