- Oral and maxillofacial pathology is concerned with diagnosis and study of causes and effects of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial region.
- This department is concerned with the final diagnosis of a condition along with investigations. It deals with biopsy of tissues, which are done with the help of needles, reagents etc., and are monitored using a microscope.
- The main feature is the arrival of diagnosis with evidence based on biopsy and cytology.
- The subject of oral and maxillofacial pathology is introduced in the 3rd year of undergraduate programme where the students are taught about various diseases that affect the oral cavity and their management.
- This specialty of dentistry includes dental anatomy, histology, embryology & pathology.
