The Dental Institution under the guidance of former Dean Prof.C.K.Dhansekaran and dedicated staff started out at November 18th 1989 in a small temporary block of around 5000 sq. ft which included a Dental Clinic. It has since continuously grown and blossomed to its recognition with the highest score among all dental colleges in the state by the High Level Committee appointed by Government of Tamil Nadu, and stretches out to be recognised internationally. The year 2005 witnessed the Dental College’s and its other institutions enormous growth when they were granted University status by University Grants Commission, which paves the way for autonomy in designing courses and improving the academic standards.
