Pune: As M. A. Rangoonwala College of Dental Sciences and Research Centre, Pune, marks its 25th year Jubilee, the college is set to take another important step in modern dental education. Hon\u2019ble Shri Hasan Mushrif, Minister of Medical Education, Government of Maharashtra and Pro-Chancellor of M.U.H.S., Nashik, will inaugurate the college\u2019s advanced Pre-clinical Prosthodontics and Pre-clinical Conservative Dentistry laboratories on 7 May 2026 at Azam Campus, Pune.<\/p>\n
The inauguration will be held as part of the college\u2019s 20th Graduation Ceremony. The new pre-clinical laboratories have been created to give dental students early hands-on training before they begin treating patients. The lab has 100 fully equipped phantom head workstations. Each workstation allows students to practise dental procedures in a setting that is close to real clinical work. The lab includes modern LED lighting, high-speed dental equipment, camera-supported teaching, and large screens for live demonstrations. These systems will help students watch, understand, practise and repeat procedures more clearly.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Abeda P. Inamdar, President, M.C.E. Society, said, \u201cThis lab is an investment in the future of our students and in the dignity of patients. When students learn better before they enter patient care, they become more confident, more careful and more compassionate doctors. Our aim is to prepare young dentists who can serve society with skill and sensitivity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Ramandeep Dugal, Dean, Professor and Head of Department, Department of Prosthodontics, Crown and Bridge, said, \u201cModern dental education must prepare students not only for examinations, but also for real practice. This lab allows students to practise early, understand patient comfort, and become more ready before they move into clinical years. It will help them serve patients with greater confidence and care.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Vivek Hegde, Vice principal, Professor and Head of Department, Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, said, \u201cThe strength of this lab is that students can learn important clinical skills in a structured way. They can practise on phantom heads, understand posture, hand movement, instrument control and cavity preparation before working on patients. Faculty demonstrations can also be shown on large screens, so every student can see the procedure clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new laboratories also support the college\u2019s future plans in digital dentistry, including advanced simulation, digital modelling, 3D-printed training models, and more standardised learning for students. The college said the new facility reflects its larger focus on student readiness, patient safety, and future-ready dental education<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
