Education, Specialist Training, and Academic Role
Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam completed his BDS from Dhaka Dental College in 2005, according to the professional information submitted for this profile. He completed an MS in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics in 2012. His official Ibn Sina profile displays the postgraduate qualification as MS (BSMMU).
The supplied professional history also states that he undertook more than two years of additional training after passing FCPS Part I under the Bangladesh College of Physicians and Surgeons. It further records participation in national and international dental congresses, workshops, and advanced endodontic training in Bangladesh and abroad.
These details should be understood as information supplied by the doctor or representative unless supported by separate certificates or institutional records.
He currently serves as Professor and Department Head of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics at Saphena Women’s Dental College. Bangladesh Medical University also maintains a dedicated Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics within its Faculty of Dentistry, reflecting the recognized academic scope of this dental specialty.
His academic and clinical work brings together teaching, diagnosis, treatment planning, and specialist dental care. For patients, this is particularly relevant when a tooth has extensive decay, previous treatment, persistent pain, or a complicated internal canal system that may need detailed assessment.
What Does an Endodontist Treat?
An endodontist is a dentist with advanced training in problems affecting the dental pulp and root canal system. The dental pulp is the soft tissue inside a tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. It may become inflamed or infected because of deep decay, a crack, trauma, repeated dental procedures, or leakage around an old restoration.
Common symptoms include severe toothache, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold food, pain while biting, swelling near a tooth, a gum boil, or discomfort in a tooth that has already received root canal treatment.
These symptoms do not always prove that root canal treatment is necessary. A clinical examination and dental X-ray may be required to identify the cause and decide whether the tooth can be treated.
Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam’s strongest publicly verified clinical positioning is as a root canal treatment and filling specialist. According to the submitted profile, he also provides selected restorative and cosmetic dental care.
Root Canal Treatment and Tooth Preservation
Root canal treatment, commonly called RCT in Bangladesh, is used when the tissue inside a tooth is irreversibly inflamed, infected, or damaged. During treatment, the affected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and the internal space is sealed.
The tooth then usually needs a suitable permanent restoration to protect it during chewing.
Patients may seek his specialist opinion for:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain
- Deep dental cavities
- Pain while biting or chewing
- Lingering hot or cold sensitivity
- Swelling or infection around a tooth
- A cracked, broken, or traumatised tooth
- Discolouration after dental injury
- Pain in a previously root-canal-treated tooth
- A tooth recommended for extraction that may need further assessment
The aim of conservative dentistry is to remove disease while retaining as much sound natural tooth structure as reasonably possible. Whether a tooth can be saved depends on the amount of healthy structure remaining, root condition, bone and gum support, presence of cracks, previous treatment, and the possibility of placing a durable final restoration.
Not every damaged tooth can or should be retained. Extraction may be more appropriate when a tooth has an untreatable fracture, inadequate support, severe structural loss, or another condition that limits predictable restoration.
A specialist consultation helps the patient understand the available options rather than guaranteeing a particular result.
Complex and Referred Endodontic Cases
Some root canal cases are more difficult because canals may be narrow, curved, calcified, previously treated, or unusually shaped. A patient may also continue to experience pain or swelling after earlier dental work.
According to the supplied professional information, Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam accepts selected referred and complex cases. An assessment may consider:
- The quality of previous treatment
- The condition of the roots and surrounding bone
- Signs of active infection
- The amount of remaining tooth structure
- Whether further endodontic care may be beneficial
- Whether the tooth can receive a durable final restoration
Patients who have previous dental X-rays, prescriptions, referral notes, or treatment records should bring them to the appointment. These documents can help explain what has already been done and may reduce unnecessary repetition of investigations.
Dental Fillings, Restorative Care, and Selected Cosmetic Treatment
The official Ibn Sina profile identifies dental filling as one of Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam’s specialist areas.
A filling repairs tooth structure lost through decay, fracture, or wear. Smaller cavities may be restored directly, while deeper decay may require root canal treatment before the tooth receives its final restoration.
According to the details supplied for this profile, he also provides selected restorative and cosmetic dental care. This may include tooth-coloured fillings and repair of chipped, worn, fractured, or visibly damaged teeth.
The appropriate treatment depends on the condition of the tooth, bite, gum health, available tooth structure, and the patient’s realistic expectations.
Cosmetic improvement should not be separated from oral health. A tooth with active decay, infection, or insufficient structure may first require disease control or strengthening before an aesthetic restoration is considered.
When Should You Book a Specialist Dental Consultation?
A specialist consultation may be useful when tooth pain is persistent, severe, difficult to locate, or associated with a badly damaged or previously treated tooth.
Patients may also seek an opinion when another dentist recommends endodontic assessment or when they want to understand whether a tooth may be preserved.
Consider booking an appointment when you have:
- Toothache that does not settle
- Pain while chewing
- Long-lasting sensitivity to hot or cold food
- Swelling near a tooth
- A cracked or broken tooth
- Repeated infection around the same tooth
- Pain after a previous root canal treatment
- A deeply decayed or heavily filled tooth
- A tooth recommended for specialist assessment
Seek urgent medical or dental care rather than waiting for a routine chamber date if there is rapidly increasing facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, serious facial trauma, or fever with spreading dental infection. Dental infections associated with breathing or swallowing difficulty require immediate attention.
For general information about nearby services, patients can review BHA’s guide to dentists and dental clinics in Dhanmondi or its regional guide to dental specialists in Cumilla. These pages support patient navigation but do not replace an individual clinical assessment.
Patient-Focused Specialist Dental Care
A specialist consultation normally begins with a discussion of the patient’s symptoms, dental history, previous treatment, and relevant medical conditions.
The affected tooth and surrounding tissues may then be examined. Dental X-rays or other investigations may be recommended when necessary.
After evaluation, the patient can be informed about:
- The likely cause of the dental problem
- Whether the tooth appears restorable
- Available treatment options
- The expected stages of treatment
- Whether more than one visit may be required
- The importance of a suitable final restoration
- Relevant treatment limitations and follow-up needs
Appointments with Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam are particularly intended for patients who need specialist root canal, tooth-preserving, restorative, cosmetic, or referred dental care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam accept referred dental cases?
According to the professional information supplied to Bangladesh Health Alliance, he accepts selected referred and complex endodontic cases. These may include persistent pain after previous dental treatment, difficult root canal problems, severely damaged teeth, or teeth requiring a specialist opinion. Patients should bring any referral letter, X-rays, prescriptions, and previous treatment records.
Can I consult Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam before deciding to extract a tooth?
Yes. A specialist consultation may help assess whether the tooth is restorable and whether root canal treatment, further restoration, or extraction is more appropriate. The decision depends on the remaining tooth structure, root condition, cracks, infection, gum and bone support, and the possibility of placing a durable final restoration.
A consultation cannot guarantee that the tooth will be saved, but it may help the patient understand the available options before making a treatment decision.
Does he assess pain after a previous root canal treatment?
Yes. He evaluates selected patients with pain, swelling, or discomfort in a previously root-canal-treated tooth. The assessment may examine the earlier treatment, the roots, surrounding bone, active infection, and whether further endodontic care could be appropriate.
A previously treated tooth can sometimes become painful or develop a new problem months or years later. Previous X-rays and treatment records should be brought when available.
What normally happens during the first specialist appointment?
The first appointment usually includes a discussion of the patient’s symptoms, dental and medical history, and previous treatment. The affected tooth and surrounding tissues are examined, and a dental X-ray may be recommended.
The doctor can then explain the likely diagnosis, treatment options, limitations, possible number of visits, and whether the tooth will need a permanent filling, crown, or another final restoration.
Can root canal treatment be completed during the first visit?
Sometimes root canal treatment may begin or be completed during the first visit, but this cannot be promised. The number of visits depends on the diagnosis, infection, tooth anatomy, previous treatment, and complexity of the case.
Some patients first need an examination and dental imaging, while others may require treatment over more than one appointment. Root canal care commonly involves more than one office visit in some cases.
Is his chamber suitable for routine dental cleaning and general check-ups?
His appointments are mainly intended for specialist root canal, tooth-preserving, filling, restorative, cosmetic, and referred dental concerns.
Patients seeking only routine dental cleaning or a general check-up should contact the chamber before booking to confirm whether an appointment with him is suitable or whether another dental professional would better match their needs.
Does Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam provide cosmetic dental treatment?
According to the professional details supplied for this profile, he provides selected restorative and cosmetic dental care. This may include suitable tooth-coloured restorations and the repair of chipped, fractured, worn, or visibly damaged teeth.
Treatment depends on the condition of the tooth, gum health, bite, remaining tooth structure, and the patient’s realistic expectations. Active decay or infection may need treatment before cosmetic restoration is considered.
Can he review my dental X-ray through an online consultation?
Online consultation is not currently listed as available. Patients need an in-person appointment for clinical examination, diagnostic review, and treatment planning.
Existing dental X-rays may be brought to the chamber. However, the doctor may recommend new imaging when an old or incomplete X-ray does not adequately show the tooth’s current condition.
What should I bring to an appointment with Prof. Dr. Mohammad Aminul Islam?
Patients should bring previous dental X-rays, prescriptions, referral notes, and records of earlier fillings or root canal treatment whenever available.
They should also carry a list of current medicines and inform the doctor about diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy, bleeding disorders, medicine or anaesthetic allergies, and any previous reaction to dental treatment.
When should I seek urgent care instead of waiting for his chamber day?
Seek urgent medical or dental care for rapidly increasing facial or neck swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, serious facial trauma, or fever with worsening dental infection.
Swelling in the mouth or neck that affects breathing, swallowing, or speaking requires immediate assessment and should not wait for a routine chamber appointment. A specialist follow-up may be arranged after the emergency has been managed.
