The department of Oral and Maxillofacial pathology is that specialty
of dentistry, which serves as “THE GATEWAY” for the entry of dental students
into the field of dentistry, and “THE BRIDGE” that links basic sciences and
clinical specialties.
Education:
The department takes the responsibility of building up a strong foundation
for the dental students. A thorough
knowledge about the normal structure, functioning and development of oral hard
tissues (teeth and jaw bones) and soft tissues (cheeks, tongue, lips, salivary
glands etc.) is provided to the students in the first year of their academics.
Following this basic understanding, students are being taught about the various
diseases or disorders affecting these tissues in the second and third year of
the course.
Department is well set with abundant study aiding materials.
Monocular microscopes for individual student, Direct Field Projection with LCD
Projector as well as individual detailed placards made for each microscopic
view are available. Many charts, Models, specimens and Histopathological
diagrams are always on display and well maintained.
The didactic curriculum of the department is devoted to enable
students in identifying dental and oral diseases and treat accordingly in the
respective clinical specialties.
