The Diagnostic Sciences & Oral Biology department promotes the highest standards in education, research, diagnosis, and management of diseases through the following divisions: Oral Biology, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, Oral Diagnosis and Oral Medicine.
-
Oral Biology: Provides the ability to recall fundamentals of development of Oro-facial structures and acquire skill in the histological identification of dental tissues.
-
Oral Pathology: Correlates clinical information, radiographic imaging, and microscopic findings to provide diagnosis in order to manage diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions.
-
Oral Radiology: Focuses on applications of diagnostic imaging utilized in dentistry, radiation safety and diagnosis of the diseases affecting maxillofacial complex through interpretation of radiographic images.
-
Oral Diagnosis : Shows the ability to obtain medical and dental history, and perform clinical examination with required investigations to reach the final diagnosis and treatment planning.
-
Oral Medicine: Provides oral health care of medically complex patients, diagnosis and management of medically-related diseases, disorders, and conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region.
