Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology

The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is committed in training the undergraduates in Dental Anatomy and Oral Histology, Oral Biology, Oral Physiology and Oral Pathology & Forensic Odontology and more importantly the diagnosis of specimens received from Department of Oral Surgery and various sources (clinics & hospitals) as part of treatment or investigation.

The oral and maxillofacial pathology department provides a broad understanding of the pathophysiology and behaviour of oral diseases and a strong theoretical background in the area of students’ research interests along with the investigative procedures which are essential for diagnosis and the development of rationale treatment and preventive programs for the patients. In this department the Students receive rigorous histopathology training in oral, head and neck, and general pathology. They also learn to diagnose and treat patients with mucosal diseases. Emphasis is placed on microscopic and clinical diagnoses as well as the proper management of oral and maxillofacial lesions. The patient care is monitored by the laboratory which provides oral diagnostic histopathology service with histopathological analysis of biopsy specimens submitted.

Academic goals:

  • Acquire skills in identification and carving of deciduous & permanent teeth
  • Develop skills in age estimation using plaster casts of different age groups,
  • Identify dental anomalies through specimens and plaster casts and microscopic identifications of oral tissues as well as common oral lesions.
  • Identify pathologic conditions clinically and microscopically
  • Acquire skills in palatoscopy, cheiloscopy and bite mark analysis
  • To provide with knowledge and skills required in forensic odontology
  • Students are vigilantly observed, assessed and trained with regular class-tests and internal examinations
  • The teaching faculty is committed to a high level of excellence in publishing their academic work and interesting cases in national and international journals.
  • The department encourages students to participate in national webinars, conferences and events.
