Oral Medicine

The clinical section houses 15 dental chairs to screen day-to-day patients (out-patients ). On an average, 100 patients are screened per day for various dental and oral diseases. After the initial check-up and diagnosis, the patients are referred to the other clinical departments depending on the type of treatment required for each patient.
Students undergoing the undergraduate course are taught through lectures, clinical case studies, group discussions, etc. Importance is given to the common diseases affecting the teeth and supporting structures, and mucosal lesions unique to the oral cavity. Facilities to train postgraduate students are also provided by the department. The Radiology wing has three intra-oral X-ray units, one mobile X-ray unit, and an Orthopantomogram ( OPG ) with Cephalostat. The X-ray processing room is equipped for both conventional and automatic processing.
The department is also equipped with a soft LASER used in the treatment of oral mucosal lesions such as ulcers, dry socket, and cases of Trigeminal Neuralgia. A seminar room equipped with audio-visual aids and an up-to-date library for academic discussions is attached to the department.
