Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology is unique in that it combines Oral Medicine and Radiology. It sits at the interface between dentistry and medicine. It is a specialist clinical area of care for treating head and neck diseases. In some instances, symptoms and signs in the mouth reflect problems only in the mouth. However, in some cases mouth symptoms can suggest a connection with disease or problems in other parts of the body and it is the Oral Medicine specialist who can best decide what tests or investigations are needed in these situations. 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. Some of these conditions also involve other diseases in the body, and in these cases the oral medicine specialist works as part of a multi-disciplinary patient care team.
Oral Medicine is involved in patient care, teaching and research involving diagnosis and medical management of diseases of the orofacial complex including:
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. We provide training and thorough knowledge on techniques and interpretation for conventional as well as advanced maxillofacial imaging like CBCT, CT, MRI and NUCLEARÂ IMAGING.
