SECTION II
General Outline of BDS Degree Course
1) The undergraduate course involves organisation of teaching programs year-wise.

However, this course, as a whole, should demonstrate integration of the basic
sciences, clinical dentistry and practical or laboratory skills. The course should be
designed and integrated in such a way as to permit smooth progression from pre-
clinical to clinical phase. Collaboration should be encouraged between teachers of
basic sciences, dental sciences and clinical subjects.
2) The undergraduate dental course consists of three main components. The first
component consists subjects common to medicine and dentistry like anatomy,
physiology, biochemistry and behavioral science, leading to pharmacology,
pathology, microbiology and then on to general medicine and general surgery. The
second component runs concurrently with the first and deals with special aspects of
oral and dental tissues, oral biology and oral pathology. Finally, the third component
based on the foundations of the first two, deals with the clinical and technical
aspects of dentistry as is required for general dental practice.
3) The first component of the course is intended to provide initially, an appreciation of

normal human structure, development, function and behavior, leading to
understanding of the diseases, its prevention and treatment. The main objective is to
provide the student a broad knowledge of the normal structures and functions of the
body, the alterations which take place in disease with particular reference to those
conditions in which medical and dental co-operation is essential for proper
management. At this stage, the student should also be made aware of the social and
psychological aspects of patient care with special reference to the relationship
between dentist and patient. The behavioral sciences including both sociology and
psychology should be introduced at the initial stages of the training program, much
before the students actually deal with the patients.
4) The second component of dental undergraduate program includes instruction in the

subjects dealing with dental and oral aspects to ensure a detailed knowledge of the
structure and function of the dental and oral tissues. This enables the student to
diagnose, prevent and treat the dental and oral diseases and disorders, which were
not included in the first component. The subject of oral biology is to be introduced at
this level to provide the students a comprehensive knowledge and application of
oral physiology, microbiology, biochemistry and oral immunology. Students should
be exposed to the basic aspects of forensic Odontology at this stage of the course
along with oral biology/oral pathology.
5) The third component of the course comprising the clinical and technical aspects of
dentistry actually prepares the student to undertake total oral and dental health
care of the patients of all ages. The emphasis at this stage should be on the
prevention of the various dental diseases and how to preserve natural teeth with
their supporting structures. The importance of the various preventive methods
needs to be stressed. The significance of diagnosis of various dental and oral
problems needs to be emphasized along with treatment planning before actual
treatment procedures are undertaken. In addition to acquiring the knowledge, the
Page 6 of 127
students need to gain adequate clinical hands-on-experience in extractions and
other minor oral surgical procedures, all aspects of Conservative Dentistry,
Endodontics, Crown and Bridge, provision of partial and complete dentures, various
periodontal therapeutic procedures and use of removable orthodontic appliances.
Familiarity with various radiological techniques, particularly intra-oral methods and
proper interpretation of the radiographs, is an essential part of this component of
training and has application in clinical diagnosis, forensic identification and age
estimation. Towards the final stage of the clinical training, each student should be
involved in comprehensive oral health care or holistic approach to enable him or her
to plan and treat patients as a whole, instead of piece-meal treatment provided in
each specialty. The aim of the undergraduate program should undoubtedly be to
produce a graduate, competent in general dental practice.
6) The commitment towards the society as a whole needs to be stressed along with the
knowledge and treatment skills gained. Instruction in public health dentistry should
emphasise the sociological aspects of health care particularly; oral health care,
including the reasons for the variation in oral and dental needs of different sections
of the society. It is important to know the influence of the social, behavioral,
environmental and economic factors on oral and dental health. Students should be
made aware of the National oral health Policy and the importance of being a
member of the Health care team delivering medical and oral health care particularly
among rural population. Students should also be encouraged to participate in simple
research project work
7) The undergraduate curriculum stresses the significance of infection and cross
infection control in dental practice. Aspects like sources of infection, measures to be
adopted both general and specific for control, particularly the HIV and hepatitis is
incorporated in the curriculum so that the graduates are aware of its significance
and follow it in their practice.
8) The information technology has touched every aspect of an individual's personal

and professional life. The University hence recommends that all undergraduates
acquire minimum computer proficiency, which will enable them to enhance their
professional knowledge and skills.

SECTION III
BDS Degree - course of study
1) The undergraduate dental training program leading to B.D.S. degree shall be a of

four and a half years duration in addition to one year compulsory paid rotating
internship. During this period, the students shall be required to engage in full time
study at a Dental college recognized or approved by the Dental Council of India.
During the first four and a half years of undergraduate course, the instruction in
clinical subjects should be at least for two and a half years.
2) Basic Medical & Dental Subjects:

The basic medical and dental sciences comprise of Anatomy - Gross and Microscopic,
Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, science of Dental Materials and Oral biology.
Subjects like behavioral sciences, which would be useful to develop communication
skills, should also be introduced in the first year itself and spread over the undergraduate
course. An introduction to Public Health Dentistry also will be useful to develop the
concept of commitment to community. The laboratory skills like pre-clinical
Prosthodontics, Crown and Bridge, Conservative dentistry and Orthodontics is to be
developed by the students. Studying dental morphology also is a part of initial training. At
the end of this period the student should be in a position to understand and comprehend in
general the development, structure and function of the human body in both health and
disease.
3) The instruction in basic dental sciences should include theoretical and practical
aspects of oral anatomy and physiology, to provide a detailed knowledge of the form
and structure of teeth associated tissues and occlusal relationships. The study
should also aim at development of a concept regarding physiological and
biochemical processes relevant to oral cavity for better understanding of the
changes that occur with the onset of disease in the oral cavity. The student should be
made aware of the importance of various dental tissues in forensic investigation.
4) Clinical, Medical and Dental subjects:

The students should be introduced to clinics in the initial stage, preferably in the
first year, as an observer to familiarize with clinical set-up and working. The period
of instruction in the clinical subjects shall be not less than two and a half years full
time. During this, the student shall attend a dental hospital, general hospital,
community camps and satellite clinics, in order to obtain instruction and experience
in the practice of dentistry. The main objective of training in clinical dental subjects
is to produce a graduate able and competent to recognize or diagnose various dental
and oral diseases, to undertake general dental treatment, advice on the provision of
specialized treatment available and finally advise the patient on prevention. The
student should also understand the relationship between oral and systemic diseases.
5) The general medicine and surgery training should provide sufficient knowledge on
human disease to enable the student to understand its manifestations as relevant to
the practice of dentistry. This requires clinical teaching on patients and shall be
carried out in in-patient and outpatient medical departments and specialist clinics.
This clinical instruction should enable the student to understand and perhaps
diagnose common systemic diseases, which have relevance to dental practice, by
Page 8 of 127
adopting a systematic approach of history taking and clinical examination. The
student should also realize the significance of various general and special
investigations in the diagnosis of diseases. The ability to recognize physical and
mental illness, dealing with emergencies, effective communication with patients, and
interaction with professional colleagues also become important aspects of this
training.
6) All dental students should receive instruction in first-aid and principles of cardio-
pulmonary resuscitation. The students should also spend time in an accident and
emergency department of a Medical hospital.
7) The purpose of the clinical training is to provide sufficient practical skill in all
aspects of clinical dentistry. The instruction should also include patient management
skills, treatment of patients of all ages with special reference to children (pediatric),
very elderly (geriatric), medically compromised and disabled patients.
8) During the two and a half years of clinical course, the students should receive
thorough instruction which involves history taking, diagnosis and treatment
planning in all aspects of dentistry and should be competent on graduation to carry
out all routine general procedures. In Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, instruction
should include the knowledge of various maxillofacial problems like injuries,
infections and deformities of the jaws and associated structures. The clinical
experience should include those procedures commonly undertaken in general
practice like extraction of teeth, minor oral surgical procedure etc. In Conservative
dentistry and Endodontics, Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge and Periodontology
students should be competent on graduation to carry out routine treatments like
restorations of various kinds, endodontic procedures, removable Prosthodontics,
and finally various kinds of periodontal therapy. In Orthodontics & Dentofacial
Orthopaedics, students should carry out simple appliance therapy including
myofacial appliances for patients. Students should also be able to appreciate the role
of Dentofacial growth in the development and treatment of malocclusion. In
addition, students should be aware of their limitations on graduation, need to refer
patients for consultant opinion and/or treatment and also the need for postgraduate
and continuous education programmes.
9) In Paediatric & Preventive Dentistry, the students should concentrate on effective

management of the behavior of the child patient to instill a positive attitude, on
efficacy of preventive measures and clinical management, including the treatment
needs particularly for children with disabilities. In oral medicine and Radiology, the
student should receive instruction in various common lesions, occurring in the oral
cavity and its diagnosis with particular reference to oral cancer. All students should
receive instructions and gain practical experience in taking various types of intra
and extra oral radiographs and its processing and interpretation. They should be
aware of the hazards of radiation and proper protective measures from radiation for
the patient, operator and other staff. Since Paediatric dentistry involves the practice
of various branches of clinical dentistry, training in Paediatric Dentistry is extended
to Part II of the final year.

10)The successful control and management of pain is an integral part of dental practice.
Upon graduation the students should be competent to administer all forms of local
anesthesia. The value of behavioral methods of anxiety management should be
emphasized. The students should also have the practical experience in the
administration of intra-muscular and intra-venous injections. Knowledge of pain
mechanisms and strategies to control post-operative pain is essential for practice of
dentistry.
11)Instruction should be given in dental jurisprudence, legal and ethical obligations of

dental practitioners and the constitution and functions of Dental Council of India.
12)Infection and cross infection control assume significance in dental practice. The
students should be made aware of the potential risk of transmission in the dental
surgery, various infectious diseases particularly HIV and hepatitis. The students
should be aware of their professional responsibility for the protection of the
patients, themselves and their staff and the requirements of the health and safety
regulations.
13)The subjects of Aesthetic dentistry, Oral Implantology, Behavioral sciences and
Forensic Odontology have assumed great significance. Hence, these four specialties
are incorporated into the undergraduate curriculum. The instruction and clinical
training in aesthetic dentistry shall be carried out by the departments of
Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge and Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics.
Similarly, the instruction and clinical training in Oral Implantology shall be done by
the departments of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge
and Periodontology. The instruction in behavioral sciences should ideally commence
before the students come in contact with the patients and shall be carried out by the
departments of Public Health Dentistry and Paediatric and Preventive Dentistry.
Forensic Odontology will be a part of Oral Pathology & Oral Microbiology and Oral
Medicine and Radiology.
14)The medium of Instruction and examinations of BDS course will be in English

the marks obtained in the model examination and the highest among all other
internal examinations, in the subject. This average mark will be reported to the
University. The Heads of the Department and College Principal should ensure that
the class average of internal assessment marks reported to the University in each
subject/paper is not more than 75% in both theory and practical/clinical
separately. For a student to be eligible to appear for the University examination
he/she should have secured at least 40% of the maximum marks in internal
assessment for both theory and practical/clinical in all subjects/papers, separately
(i.e. minimum 10/25 in theory and 8/20 in practical/clinical). (For calculating
internal assessment mark in papers where subjects are combined viz. General Human
Physiology & Biochemistry, General Pathology & Microbiology and Dental Materials,
marks obtained in the two subjects will be counted together for reporting to
University and for applying all other stipulations mentioned above).
For a candidate to be eligible to write the I BDS university examination the first
time he/she should have minimum 80% attendance and 40% of the maximum
marks in internal assessment for both theory and practical/clinical in all the
subjects in which examination is being held for the year, to be eligible to appear for
the University Examination. From II BDS onwards if a candidate has 80%
attendance in all the subjects of study for which university examination is held in a
particular year he/she will be eligible to appear in the university examination in
those subjects in which he/she has secured the minimum requirement of 40% of
internal assessment marks. A student can appear for I BDS supplementary in
those subjects in which he/she has scored minimum 40% internal assessment
provided he/she satisfies attendance eligibility as per sec 6.
d) UNIVERSITY EXAMINATION-SCHEME :
The scheme of examination for B.D.S. Course shall be divided into 1st B.D.S.
examination at the end of the first, 2nd B.D.S. examination at the end of second, 3rd
B.D.S. examination at the end of third and Final BDS Part I examination at the end
of fourth academic year. The Final B.D.S part II examination will be held on
completing six months of the fifth academic year.
The examination shall be open to a candidate who satisfies the
requirements of attendance, progress and other rules governing the
institution/University.
The University examination for a subject shall be conducted twice in a year
at an interval of not less than four to six months as notified by the university from
time to time. Any candidate who does not clear the I BDS examination completely
in four attempts will not be permitted to continue the course and shall be
discharged from the institution. The entire BDS course should be completed
within a period of maximum 9 (double the course duration) academic years from

g) Practical/Clinical Examination:
i. Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation:

The clinical /practical examination should include different procedures for the
candidate to express one's skills. A number of examination stations with specific
instructions to be carried out may be provided. This can include clinical
procedures, laboratory experiments, spotters etc. Evaluation must be made
objective and structured. The method of objective structured clinical
examinations should be followed. This will avoid examiner bias because both
the examiner and the examinee are given specific instructions on what is to be
observed at each station.
ii. Records/Log Books:
The candidate should be given credit for his records based on the scores
obtained in the record. The marks obtained for the record in the first appearance
can be carried over to the subsequent appearances if necessary.
Page 23 of 127
iii. Scheme of clinical and practical examinations:
The specific scheme of clinical/practical examinations, the type of clinical
procedures/experiments to be performed and marks allotted for each are to be
discussed and finalized by the Chairman and members of the board of examiners
and it is to be published prior to the conduct of the examinations along with the
publication of the time table for the practical examination. This scheme should
be brought to the notice of the external examiner as and when the examiner
reports. The practical/clinical examinations should be evaluated by two
examiners of which one shall be an external examiner appointed from other
zones of the university or outside University. Each candidate should be evaluated
by each examiner independently and marks computed at the end of the
examination.
iv. Viva Voce:
Viva voce is an excellent mode of assessment because it permits a fairly broad
coverage and it can assess the problem solving capacity of the student. An
assessment related to the affective domain is also possible through viva voce. It
is desirable to conduct the viva voce independently by each examiner. In order to
avoid vagueness and to maintain uniformity of standard and coverage, questions
can be pre-formulated before administering them to each student. Twenty five
marks are exclusively allotted for viva voce and that can be divided amongst the
two examiners.
h) Distribution of Marks

i) Criteria for a pass:
For declaration of pass in a subject, a candidate shall fulfill the following criteria:
i. Fifty percent of the total marks in any subject computed as aggregate for a)
theory, i.e., written, viva voce and internal assessment and b) practicals
including internal assessment (125 marks out of 250).
ii. A candidate shall secure a minimum aggregate of 50% marks in the theory
section, which includes University theory examination, viva voce
examination and internal assessment (i.e. a minimum of 75 marks out of 150).
Besides this there should be a separate minimum of 50% for the university
theory (i.e. 50 marks out of 100).
iii. In the University Practical/ clinical examination, a candidate shall secure
50% of University practical marks and Internal Assessment combined
together (i.e. a minimum of 50 out of 100 marks). Besides this there should
be a separate minimum of 50% for the University Practical/clinical exam (i.e.
40 marks out of 80).
iv. In case of Pre clinical Orthodontics, Pre clinical Prosthodontics and Pre
clinical Conservative Dentistry in 2nd BDS examination, where there is no
written examination, minimum for pass is 50% of combined total marks of
the University Practical, viva voce and the internal assessment (i.e. a
minimum of 50 out of 100 marks) for each subject. Besides this there should
be a separate minimum of 50% for the University Practical examination (i.e.
30 marks out of 60).
v. A candidate who obtains 75% and above of grand total marks is eligible
for Distinction. Successful candidates-who obtain 60% to 74% of grand total
marks i.e. total of all subjects, shall be declared to have passed the
examination in First class. Other successful candidates will be placed in
Second Class. Only those candidates who pass the whole examination in the
first attempt will be eligible for distinction or first class.
j) Ranking:
i. Only candidates who have passed all the subjects of the examination in first
attempt will be considered for ranking.
ii. Marks obtained in supplementary examinations will not be considered for
ranking.
iii. Rank will be awarded only after the Final BDS examination.
iv. For ranking in the Final BDS, aggregate marks secured in all the subjects
from I to V BDS will be counted.
k) Allowed to Keep Terms (A.T.K.T.):

A candidate who fails in one subject in an examination, except in the second year,
is permitted to go to the next higher class. But he/she has to pass that failed
subject in order to be eligible to appear for the examination of the next higher
class. Since clinical study in the third year involves treatment on patients under
the guidance of faculty it is mandatory that the candidate should clear all the
subjects of Second year including preclinical practical examinations before he
can be promoted to third year. A student will be eligible to appear for Final year
Part II examination only if he/she has appeared for final year part I examination.
Page 26 of 127
He/she can appear for the failed subjects (if any in part I) along with the final
year Part II examination.
l) Revaluation:
No re-valuation of Answer scripts is allowed since evaluation strategy includes double

valuation. Only re-counting of marks will be allowed on request.
m) Grace Marks:
i. Grace Mark may be awarded for examinations limiting to a maximum of five.
ii. Grace Mark may be awarded to either theory or practical or both.
iii. Grace marks will be awarded at the discretion of the Pass Board and will not be
the right of the student.
n) Qualification and experience to be eligible for examinership for BDS examination:

i. M.D.S. Degree in the concerned subject from a DCI recognized Institution.
ii. Four years teaching experience in the subject after MDS in the concerned
subject in a dental college approved/recognized by the Dental Council of
India for BDS.
iii. Should be qualified as per DCI to hold the post of Reader or above in a Dental
Institution approved/recognised by the Dental Council of India for B.D.S.
iv. In case of medical subjects the qualification of examiners shall be the same

Note:
1) In case of Public Health Dentistry, as there is acute shortage of teachers, examiners
could be from either Public Health Dentistry or Periodontics Department.
2) Faculty members with MDS in Periodontics and 4 yr. teaching experience in it will
be eligible to be considered as examiners in Public health Dentistry.
o) Number and subject of examiners for practical/Clinical and Viva voce examination
There shall be two examiners for each paper, one internal and one external, from
Medical/ Dental Institutions approved/recognised by the Dental Council of India for
B.D.S. Course. The internal examiner will be from within the institution. The external
examiner can be from a different zone of the University or from outside University.
No person shall be an External Examiner to the same college for more than 3
consecutive years. However, if there is a break of one year the person can be
reappointed.
Note:
1) In case of Physiology and Biochemistry if Internal examiner is from Physiology,
External examiner should be from Biochemistry and vice versa
2) In case of Pathology and Microbiology if Internal examiner is from Pathology,
External examiner should be from Microbiology and vice versa
3) In case of Dental Materials, if Internal examiner is from Prosthodontics, External

3. BIOCHEMISTRY, NUTRITION AND DIETETICS
a) AIMS AND SCOPE
The major aim is to provide a sound but crisp knowledge on the biochemical basis of
the life processes relevant to the human system and to dental/medical practice. The
contents should be organized to build on the already existing information available
to the students in the pre-university stage and reorienting. A mere rehash should be
avoided.
The chemistry portion should strive towards providing information on the
functional groups, hydrophobic and hydrophilic moieties and weak valence forces
that organise macromolecules. Details on structure need not be emphasised.
Discussion on metabolic processes should put emphasis on the overall change,
interdependence and molecular turnover. While details of the steps may be given,
the student should not be expected to memorise them. An introduction to
biochemical genetics and molecular biology is a must but details should be avoided.
The exposure to antivitamins, antimetabolites and enzyme inhibitors at this stage,
will provide a basis for the future study of medical subjects. An overview of
metabolic regulation is to be taught by covering hormonal action, second
messengers and regulation of enzyme activities. Medical aspects of biochemistry
should avoid describing innumerable functional tests, most of which are not in
vogue. Cataloguing genetic disorders under each head of metabolism is unnecessary.
A few examples which correlate genotype change to functional changes should be
adequate.
At the end of the course the student would be able to acquire a useful core of
information, which can be retained for a long time.

7 DENTAL MATERIALS
a) INTRODUCTION:
The science of Dental Material has undergone tremendous changes over the years.
Continued research has led to new material systems and changing concepts in the
dental field. Interlinked with various specialized branches of chemistry, practically
all engineering applied sciences and biological characteristics, the science of dental
material emerged as basic sciences in itself with its own values and principles.
b) AIMS:
Aim of the course is to present basic chemical and physical properties of Dental
materials as they are related to its manipulation to give a sound educational
background so that the practice of the dentistry emerged from art to empirical
status of science as more information through further research becomes available. It
is also the aim of the course of Dental materials to provide with certain criteria of
selection and which will enable to discriminate between facts and propaganda with
regards to claims of manufactures.
c) OBJECTIVES:
To understand the evolution and development of science of dental material.
Knowledge of physical and chemical properties and advantages and disadvantages
of the material used in dentistry. Knowledge of biomechanical requirements of
particular restorative material and its application & limitations. Laying down
standards or specifications of various materials to guide to manufacturers as well as
to help professionals. Search for newer and better materials which may answer our
requirements with greater satisfaction. To understand and evaluate the claims made
by manufactures of dental materials.
At the end of the course the student should have the knowledge about the
composition, properties, manipulative techniques and their various commercial
names. The student should also acquire skills to select and use the materials
appropriately for laboratory and clinical use.
d) NEED FOR THE COURSE:

The profession has to raise from an art to a science, the need for the dentist to
possess adequate knowledge of materials to exercises his best through knowledge of
properties of different types of materials. There is growing concern of health
hazards due to mercury toxicity, inhalation of certain vapors or dust materials,
irritations and allergic reaction to skin due to contact of materials. The Dentist need
to acquire wider knowledge of physical, chemical and biological properties of the
various materials used in the mouth because they may cause irritation of oral
tissues. pH of some of the restorative materials cause inflammation and necrosis of
pulp which is a concern and the patient should be protected from these. Certain
criteria of selection are provided that will enable the dentist to discriminate
between facts and propaganda, which will make a material biologically acceptable.
e) SCOPE:
Dental materials are employed in mechanical procedures including restorative
dentistry such as Prosthodontics, Endodontics, Periodontics and Orthodontics.
There is scarcely a dental procedure that does not make use of dental materials in
one form or another and therefore the application of dental material is not limited to
any one branch of dentistry. Branches such as minor surgery and Periodontics
require less use of materials but the physical and chemical characters of materials
Page 66 of 127
are important in these fields. The toxic and tissue reaction of dental materials and
their durability in the oral cavity where the temperature is between 32 & 37 degree
centigrade, and the ingestion of hot or cold food ranges from 0-70 degree centigrade.
The acid an alkalinity of fluids shown pH varies from 4 to 8.5. The load on 1 sq. mm
of tooth or restorative materials can reach to a level as high as many kilograms. Thus
the biological properties of dental materials cannot be separated from their physical
and chemical properties.
