Overview

The Department of Oral Medicine & Radiology offers a valuable experience for students interested in the connection between dental health and overall well-being. We emphasize the dentist's unique role in diagnosing and managing oral health in the context of a patient’s total health. The curriculum goes beyond traditional dental training and equips students with essential expertise in various areas. These include salivary gland disorders, temporomandibular and orofacial pain disorders, and oral manifestations of systemic diseases. We also focus on specialized care for patients with complex medical needs. Academic excellence and compassion are at the heart of our mission to develop skilled, empathetic healthcare professionals. Our Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) program lays a strong foundation in clinical practice, patient care, and diagnostics, essential for a successful dental career. For those seeking advanced specialization, our Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Oral Medicine & Radiology, established in 2015 with an annual intake of 3 students, offers in-depth training under dedicated faculty in a close-knit, supportive environment. Aiming for excellence in every student, our hands-on approach cultivates critical skills in diagnosis and patient care, equipping them to make meaningful contributions to the health and well-being in the community.

DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

Oral Medicine & Radiology, as a specialized branch in dentistry deals with the health and diseases affecting the oral & maxillofacial region. We train the post graduates to focus upon inculcating the academic proficiency and management skills that require overall development of clinical and radiological diagnostic acumen. This is achieved by  interacting  with the patients right from their entry into the campus and focusing on thorough history taking, meticulous clinical examination, diagnosing the underlying pathology through the appropriate investigations while offering a plethora of chair side and radiological investigations including CBCT with  appropriate interpretation and catters the necessary treatment : The key to excel in clinical practice and seeding the interest in research. We offer our post graduates the confidence to accurately diagnose the diasease, reporting of various imaging modalities like CBCT, CT, M R I and USG  and treat the conditions with intra lesional injections, TENS and Lasers along with the dental management of medically compromised patients. Further, we tune our post graduates in the field of research by presenting papers and posters at distinguished scientific platforms and publishing their work.  We also train them in forensic science through exercises like age estimation & personal identification. Last, but not the least, the students in Oral Medicine & Radiology are encouraged to actively participate in sports and cultural activities.

FUTURE ACTION PLAN

  • Enhance Research & Clinical Excellence: Continue building on our research achievements to further improve clinical, translational, and educational quality, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.
  • Innovative Curriculum Development: Establish a dynamic, cutting-edge curriculum that adapts to the evolving needs of our patients. This will involve evaluating our educational methods, with a focus on cultivating a culture of lifelong learning in all students and trainees.
  • Community Awareness Initiatives: Increase public awareness about the importance of regular dental check-ups to promote early detection and prevention of oral health issues.
  • Departmental Promotion: Position the department as the leading maxillofacial diagnostic facility in the region, recognized for excellence in patient care and diagnostic services.
  • Digitization of OPD Operations: Transition our routine OPD processes to a digital database format, streamlining data management and enhancing accessibility for continuous improvement in patient care.
