Dr. Kavitha Prasad

Professor & HOD and Associate Dean

  • School/College

    Faculty of Dental Sciences

  • Department

    Department of Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery

I have about 3 decades of experience in academics, 2 decades in Research which includes undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D student teaching, training and supervision. I have a keen interest in academics, research as well as patient service and have maintained a healthy balance between the three over the years. I have received recognition from the institution/university for having excellent student feedback on teaching, exemplary faculty award for maximum number of citations in 2021 and good feedback from patients and peers. My academic strengths are in good communication with the students, interactive learning, case discussions, facilitation and mentoring. I also work towards curriculum development and implementation of innovative teaching learning methods. My research interests include Maxillofacial trauma, Pathology (Cystic tumors, Oral Pre-cancer and Cancer), TMJ, Bone and tissue regeneration, and Orofacial Pain. My surgical expertise is in the field of minor oral surgery, Management of Maxillofacial Trauma, Benign cysts and tumors, oral cancer, TMJ disorders & Ankylosis and Infections. I firmly believe in conservative approach to surgery, minimum intervention with maximum benefit. The department has evolved as a center of referral for conservative management of cystic tumors, with two faculty with PhD in this field and our contribution in saving the jaws of the patient and ensuring a better quality of life. Our work in genetic profiling of oral squamous cell carcinoma and identification of prognostic markers is ongoing and supported by University funding.
