Dentistry is a multidisciplinary field pertaining to the treatment modalities rendered to the patients. Every department is inter-related to each other, and work in tandem with other departments. Hence it is always important that every staff member from individual departments should be well versed of the various treatments offered in different departments. In this endeavour every staff member is not only encouraged to attend conferences and workshops pertaining to his field but at the same time is also encouraged to attend seminars and workshops and continuing dental education programmes of other allied subjects.
