Oral Medicine and Radiology is considered as the backbone of Dentistry as it deals with the diagnosis of all the dental diseases. Conditions managed in Oral Medicine are often chronic and may have a significant psychological, as well as physical impact on the patient’s quality of life.

The Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology works tirelessly to achieve global standards in Education, Research and Public service. The Faculty in the Oral Medicine & Radiology are highly competent who have achieved recognition in academics, research and clinical services.

The department educates Graduate and Post Graduate students in the diagnosis and medical management of orofacial disorders. For this, the Department is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipments.

Oral Medicine is involved in patient care, teaching and research involving diagnosis and nonsurgical management of diseases of the orofacial complex and systemic and behavioural disorders that impact oral health, including:

Mucosal diseases

Oral cancer and complications of cancer therapy

Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology deals with the Acquisition and Interpretation of Radiographic Imaging studies performed for diagnosis of treatment guidance for conditions affecting the maxillofacial region. The division of Oral and Maxillofacial Imaging Sciences within the department has emerged as the Pioneer 3D diagnostic imaging centre in the Northern part of India and is First Dental Institute equipped with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Unit.

The department runs a very successful much sought after Post Graduate Programme (MDS) since 2012. The residents trained in the department currently occupy high positions in academics, research both nationally and internationally. Specialization in OMR requires the completion of three year course in the specialty in a Dental Council of India recognized institution. Training includes a thorough knowledge on techniques and interpretation for conventional as well as advanced maxillofacial imaging like Cone Beam Computed Tomography

“The mission and motto of our department faculty is to impart and share their knowledge, expertise and educating the next generation of clinicians to continue to serve the ever growing demands of our patients.”[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”Faculty” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ hover_enabled=”0″]
