Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology and Oral Microbiology

The Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology and Oral Microbiology deals with the teaching of Dental Anatomy, Oral Histology and Oral Pathology to the Undergraduate and Post graduate students and deals with the Investigations and diagnosis of diseases. The department efficiently provides cytopathological and histopathological reports of oral and aboral structures for a variety of lesions such as premalignant and malignant lesions, soft tissue tumours, odontogenic cysts and tumours.

The goal of the department is to train a specialist who is able to:
  • Provide the highest level of microscopy diagnostic skills utilizing, when appropriate, new technologies in immunohistochemistry and molecular studies
  • Diagnose and Manage patients with mucosal disease and head and neck pain syndromes whose primary treatment modality is nonsurgica
  • Compete successfully for research grants from industry and other sponsoring institutions; and
  • Excel as teachers and leaders in the specialty
