Robust accreditation system for Dentistry
In order to raise standards of the practice of dentistry in India, experts have advocated the need to bring in a robust system of accreditation for dental clinics and dentists. Moreover, the certification and accreditation being optional, the current practice of dentistry followed in the country is not skill based and is done on a trial and error method.
Over 20, 000 dentists who pass out from 325 dental colleges in the country have very less exposure to aspects of dentistry like root canal, crown and bridge, cosmetic dentistry and implantology.
There needs to be a minimum set of guidelines required for accreditation of clinics an aspect that needs to be taken care involving instruments, equipment and services being audited on a quarterly basis to ensure proper sterilisation protocols, a good patient management software and that modern dentistry is being practiced.

Heat on dental council boss

Ranchi: Feb. 22: The CBI today booked former vice- chancellor of Nilambar Pitambar University Firoz Ahmad along with three others for criminal conspiracy, cheating, misconduct and illegal gratification and carried out raids at six places in Ranchi, Garhwa, Delhi and Calcutta.

Dental Council of India (DCI) president Dibyendu Majumdar, DCI’s former officiating secretary S.K. Ojha and chairman of Vananchal Dental College & Hospital (VDCH) in Garhwah Dinesh Prasad Singh have also been booked.

A team of CBI officials from Ranchi and Delhi raided the residence of former VC on Circular Road in Ranchi. The VDCH office, the residence of its chairman and the DCI president’s house were also raided.

“We have recovered some documents pertaining to the case, which will be helpful in carrying out further investigation,” a CBI official said.

The case can be traced back to June last year when the anti-corruption branch of the CBI (Delhi) received a complaint against Majumdar for allegedly entering into a criminal conspiracy with Ahmad and Ojha to ensure his second term as the DCI president.

Majumdar would have ceased to be the president after the expiry of his DCI membership on May 31, 2015. However, he acquired the membership from Nilambar Pitambar University in a clandestine manner by claiming to be an honorary professor of VDCH. He entered into a conspiracy with Singh by granting permission to increase the number of seats in both BDS and MDS courses.

Probe revealed that the appointment of Majumdar as the visiting professor at VDCH (affiliated with the NPU) and his election as a DCI member was illegal under Dental Act 1948.  LINK
