Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences (MAIDS) is ranked the best school for dental education and care in the country. MAIDS is the first and only dental hospital in India to be accredited by the National Accreditation of Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH).

The institute offers a five-year undergraduate programme, Bachelor of Dental Surgey (BDS), with an annual intake of 40 students and is the only government institute to offer a postgraduate programme, Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in all nine dental specialties. It provides a unique educational experience that believes in giving students adequate clinical and public health exposure. The dental college boasts of a highly interactive campus, with students from various other medical and nursing specialties.

The institute is likely to start newer specialties, such as special care dentistry, forensic dentistry, comprehensive dentistry, advanced research laboratories, intensive care units and advanced radiological services.

“MAIDS is continuously striving towards fulfilling its vision to emerge as an institute of regional and global excellence in dental education, patient care and research, with a commitment to develop and promote the highest standards and practices in dental sciences,” says Prof. Mahesh Verma, director, MAIDS.

The hospital offers wide range of patient care services, welcoming more than 2,500 patients per day and over 700,000 every year across dental specialties.
