Growing awareness about oral health, increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and improved access to dental care have all contributed to the expansion of this vital healthcare sector. This surge in interest has led to the rapid development of dental colleges throughout the country. Among the leading institutions making a mark in medical and dental education for over a decade are Malla Reddy Institute of Dental Sciences (MRIDS) and Malla Reddy Dental College for Women (MRDCW), the second exclusive women’s dental college in India and the first in Telangana, the two constituent colleges of Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth (MRV), a Deemed-to-be University located in Hyderabad, the capital city of Telangana, with a lush 70-acre green campus. Both colleges offer undergraduate and postgraduate dental courses and have emerged as centres of excellence, featuring cutting-edge infrastructure, advanced laboratories, simulation centres, and smart classrooms. The faculty, comprising senior and experienced professionals, provides a rich learning experience rooted in mentorship and academic rigor.
