Initially a private institute, the college was then handed over to the West Bengal Government in the year 1949. Since then, many private colleges blossomed, exceeding the number of Government Aided Colleges. Dentistry is now a promising branch of medicine with the emphasis on conservation of tooth, replacement of teeth with life-like appearance and Dental implants. The dental market is expected to have a growth rate of 20-30 percent, with investment groups building multispecialty hospitals offering general dentistry and specialist treatments. On account of education, the students can simply complete their BDS and open a clinic or can go for completing their masters and earn expertise in their subject.Most of the Dental Colleges in India, however, train the aspirant dentists only to excel theoretically whereas dentistry is more about practical performance and problem-solving skills. There seems to be a disconnection between what is learned and what is applied in the clinics. It is estimated that there will be a surplus of more than 100,000 dentists in India by 2020. Bulks of fresh graduates pursue the dream of a clinic annually but among them, the only handful achieves success due to their unsatisfactory practical knowledge. With existing approximately 310 Dental Colleges in India, it becomes a troublesome task for the aspirants to short-list a decent college, which offers a good proportion of theoretical and practical aspects of their curriculum. Comprehending the demands of contemporary day dental education, a panel of researchers and experts at the Higher Education Review has conducted an extensive research and has compiled a list of `Top 10 Dental Colleges -2022', a list which represents some of best institutes offering dental courses. We strongly believe that it is important to bring such institutions to the limelight, so that their ideologies and methodologies can inspire other institutions and at the same time help students in choosing the right college.Your thoughts are always welcome!Deepshikha SinghManaging Editordeepshikha@thehighereducationreview.comChoosing Dentistry, a Profession of Precision!
