Overview
About Thai Moogambigai Dental College & Hospital
Thai Moogambigai Dental College and Hospital is a dental college in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, established in 1991. It is affiliated to Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute. Its programmes are approved by the DCI. Thai Moogambigai Dental College and Hospital offers 9 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 8 at postgraduate level.

The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 100 seats. Official college pages identify the institution as Thai Moogambigai Dental College and Hospital, a constituent unit of Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute (deemed university), at Golden George Nagar, Mugappair, Chennai. The 700-bed A.C.S. Medical College and Hospital is a separate sibling medical-college hospital within 5 km and is not attributed as the dental college's own hospital. Nine departmental pre-clinical/clinical laboratory areas and a central research laboratory are stated. Principal: Dr. A. Ponsekar Abraham, MDS. The college's 2025-26 MCC profile names the same principal and affiliating university; 2025-26 information is historical relative to the target year 2026-27. The college is a constituent unit of Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute, a deemed-to-be university; the university states deemed status was attained in 2003. The regulator college list opened is maintained under the National Dental Commission, which succeeded the DCI from 19 March 2026. No 2026-27 college-specific sanctioned intake, regulator reference, DCI/NDC code, MCC institute code, dental-chair count, or dental OPD figure was published in the sources opened. The 700-bed A.C.S. Medical College and Hospital is a separate sibling medical institution, not this dental college's hospital-bed fact.
