About College:
SDM College of Dental Sciences & Hospital was founded in 1986 by the SDME Society, Ujire of which Sriman Dr.D.Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala is the President with a vision to train students to excel in knowledge, skills and service to the community. The mission of the institution was to improve oral health of the local population and to cater to their dental needs. It had a humble beginning with an intake of 40 students in the premises of SDM Engineering College Dharwad.
In 1987, a small dental hospital with 6 dental surgery chairs and units was commissioned in the town center at Dharwad. Two years later in 1989 the hospital was expanded to include all clinical departments and shifted to a larger building near the bus station. In the same year 10 acres land was acquired between Dharwad and Hubli on the National Highway to develop an independent campus with all required infra-structural facilities.
Having established pride as a center of excellence for advanced learning, the institution had pro-actively decided to develop international academic linkage. As an out come of this lateral thinking, The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow recognized the institute as the only center in India for conducting Primary FDSRCPS examination in 1995. Later on, First Part of FRCS was added. Currently, the institution conducts Part A and B of MFDS, Membership Examination in Maxillofacial Surgery and Morth examination of the RCPS, Glasgow. In 1993, institution started the first Department of Oral Implantology in the Country with the support of Prof. Hans L. Grafelmann. The visit of Prof. P.I. Branemark to this institute in 1994 gave the much needed impetus to the practice of implantology in the Country. In-patient services in the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery were started in 1992 with 20 beds and a single operating room.
An International Workshop on Complete Management of Cleft Lip and Palate was organized in November 1993. This workshop was attended by a large number of Indian and Overseas delegates and generated tremendous interest among maxillofacial surgeons to take up cleft lip and palate surgery. Looking at the ever increasing demand for Maxillofacial services an exclusive Maxillofacial hospital was built with 50 in-patients beds, two operation theatres, an intensive care unit, and diagnostic facilities with the state of the art equipments.
An auditorium, which accommodates 300 people attached to the hospital, has facilitated organizing several surgical workshops. The infrastructure facilities provided in the hospital coupled with the variety and quality of various maxillofacial surgical procedures attracted number of consultants to visit the center from countries like U.K., Switzerland, Japan etc. To strengthen the training programme a Department of Behavioral Sciences was added in 1996.
To provide a holistic approach in dental treatment, a comprehensive oral health care programme was introduced to interns from 1998. Looking at the disproportionate ratio of dental Technicians to dentists, a two-year Dental Technician's Course was introduced with 20 admissions in 1996.
The year 2002 was another milestone in the history of the institution.On 12th February 2002 the Executive Committee of the NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation Council) a unit of University Grants Commission has awarded five star status after considering the self-study and the peer team reports. This is the only dental institution in the Country as on date to be accredited with five star status.
