The Mega Root Canal Camp was aimed to help the below poverty line patients who are in need of Root Canal Treatment. It was indeed a mega event in which a team of Endodontists performed 152 single visit root canal therapy for patients of age group ranging from 18 to 80 years.This remarkable feat is unprecedented in the history of the state. A team of 7 doctors with the assistance of Junior postgraduate students, interns, undergraduate students and nonteaching staff successfully completed this venture.
