This informal symposium was organized by the director, Dr SM Balaji, who has always stressed on the importance of meaningful research in dentistry and its allied branches. Dr Preetha Balaji, Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon, was also present at the gathering. An introduction into Salivary Diagnostics Salivary Diagnostics is a very advanced and newly introduced concept. It has been shown to have greater acceptance amongst patients because of its noninvasive nature and amongst doctors and researchers for its greater sensitivity and specificity when compared to existing modalities. The use of salivary diagnostics and research has thus far been limited to a few diseases and conditions. Deans and principals invited for dissemination of information about Salivary Diagnostics This meeting was organized as a means to introduce this to Indian Dentists and popularize the concept through the deans and vice principals of Chennai based dental colleges and hospitals. Further programs have been planned down the line to further disseminate information regarding the scope of including more diseases that can be diagnosed using this modality. Eminent scientific researchers invited as principal speakers for symposium The invited speakers were[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”” animation_delay=”” disable=”” id=”” class=””][vc_column_inner vertical_align=”top” animation_delay=”” width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”5499″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner vertical_align=”top” animation_delay=”” width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Dr. Paul Slowey, USA, who spoke on “Standardized Devices for Salivary Diagnostics”.

Dr SM Balaji invited as chief guest at the 3rd Graduation day celebrations at Tagore Dental College

Dr SM Balaji, Hon’ble Member, Dental Council of India, was the chief guest for the 3rd Graduation day at Tagore Dental College. Upon arrival at the college, he was warmly received by Prof Chitraa R Chandran, Principal, Prof S Balagopal, Vice Principal-Academics and Prof CJ Venkatakrishnan, Vice Principal-Administration. Prof Mala, Correspondent of Tagore Dental College also honored him with a bouquet. The convocation was a grand affair and all the graduands had assembled at the auditorium of the college. Prof SM Balaji addressed the students with his usual mix of brevity and humor. He emphasized to them the need to adopt a holistic approach towards their chosen profession as they embarked upon their career in dentistry. His speech reiterated to them the importance of teamwork as they stepped out into the world from the protective cocoon of their college lives. Teamwork is what elevates the individual to higher levels was a recurring theme in his address to them. He spoke about his career as a researcher and the urgent need for continued research in all specialties of dentistry. The students listened in rapt attention as he narrated snippets from his life about interactions with patients who left their mark on him and how he attained such great heights in his career as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. He spoke about the passion and dedication he has towards attaining even greater heights and provided valuable tips to the students on how to build a successful career. Another important aspect he spoke about was about developing skills that would help in alleviating the sufferings of patients. He spoke about his various cleft surgical missions to the lesser developed regions of the world and how this acted as a spur to make him pursue this with a zeal and passion that has remained unabated over the years. “Never be discouraged by circumstances, but learn to master them” he extolled them at the conclusion of his speech. Following this, Dr SM Balaji presented Certificates of Excellence to meritorious students for their academic excellence throughout their period of study in the college.
