One of its significant accomplishments was hosting the Perio Rapid conference in 2023, a flagship event that brought together professionals, academics, and students from across the country to share knowledge, innovations, and best practices in the field of periodontics.

Additionally, the department has been enthusiastically celebrating Periodontics Week every year, as part of the Perio community. This annual celebration recognizes the contributions and achievements of periodontics, while also promoting awareness about the importance of periodontics care.

Furthermore, the department has been actively involved in research and innovation, with a focus on advancing the field of periodontics. To this end, the department has applied for various projects funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the Student Start-up Innovation Policy (SSIP).
