3.1.1 Infrastructure& Allied Facilities for Research at MRIIRS
MRIIRS has developed good research facility for promotion of R&D in the University with
the inclusion of fundamental/basic/ sophisticated research facilities as well supportive
facilities at Dr O P Bhalla Central Library i.e Online Databases, DELNET, e-Book
Collection, Journals, Plagiarism Check Software- Turnitin and Urkund /Ouriginal, Off-
campus remote access to Digital Library Resources and IPR.
The institute has extended the research facilities to its researchers through its
collaborations/MoU with reputed research organizations like NII, NBPGR, THSTI, CSIR-
IIP, RCB, etc under Science Setu Programme and IOCL, Intel, otherwise too.
The institute has been recognized and awarded grant for establishment of NEW GEN – IEDC
funded by Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Under
this grant the students will be motivated, supported and mentored for identification
development and commercialization of targeted number of innovative student projects each
year, organize business plan competitions innovations camps, Hackathons with active
involvement of industry and alumni, assist start-ups on preparing project reports and interact
with entrepreneurs, bankers, professionals mentors and potential customers to student start
ups. This step is a welcome step to raise the research- innovation culture especially to the
startups in this region which even the Govt. is emphasizing upon.

First Robotics Lab set up by MEI in the north India.
SCADA Software for monitoring and analysis.
C) ORAL MEDICINE LAB
Oral Medicine deals with range of lesions of the oral mucosa and jawbones, including oral
manifestations of systemic diseases. It helps to disseminate know- how, to take an appropriate
clinical history, determine initial diagnoses, and formulate dental treatment plan. Oral Cancer
screening biomarkers, Tobacco cessation initiatives, TMJ disorders and management of oral
mucosal diseases are some of the thrust areas of research in this specialty. Patient data is being
stored in electronic form (digitalized) which can be used for various retrospective research
studies.
D) THE PEDODONTICS LAB
It is a very well equipped, state of the art facility with all the types of equipment necessary for
the desired and efficient treatment of a pediatric patient. The lab is well ventilated, air-
conditioned, and well lit creating a comfortable environment for a child and the pediatric dentist.
The ambience of the lab is designed to be child friendly with the inclusion of the animateddino-
themed dental chairs to give a familiar look to the lab for the child. The chairs are also equipped
with a multimedia player which aids in the behaviour management of the child using audio-
visual aids. The ample number of chairs in the lab results in the treatment of many patients
simultaneously and smoothly without any hassle. To bring about ease of accessibility, the RVG
room has been incorporated just adjacent to the lab with proper radiation protection necessary for
the child. The RVG room helps in diagnosing rare clinical findings and helps in academic research for undergraduate and postgraduate students alike.
E) RADIOLOGY LAB
The Radiology lab is well-equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including Radiovisiography (RVG), Dental X-ray units, Digital Panoramic imaging machine (O.P.G). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) machine- the latest in maxillofacial radiology is installed here, which has immense potential in research and/or dissertations of postgraduate & Ph.D students. Research in Radiology is undertaken mainly in thrust areas of Implantology, Endodontics & Forensics.
Physiotherapy OPD at MRIIRS is here to assist patient at every stage of recovery with
acute and chronic painful condition and is a gateway for better health and fitness.The team of
physiotherapists are completed dedicated for helping the patients in recovering joint pain,
