The department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology deals with imparting basic knowledge of Anatomy, Histology, Pathology and Microbiology of structures and tissues related to the para-oral and oral areas.
The department is catering to diagnostic services for all the departments in the college as well as from outside with frequent referrals. Apart from histopathologic reports, routine blood examination and microbiological studies are also undertaken.
An exclusive Oral Pathology Museum has been created with adequate hard and soft tissue specimens along with clinical and microscopic details of pathologies for students and visitors to understand about the subject at a glance. There are four Laboratories in the department for routine histopathology, undergraduate practicals, clinical examinations and post graduate studies.
The centre was established in April 2013 in collaboration with Roko cancer, an NGO working to create awareness among people about the prevention, detection and cure of cancer. It is intended to facilitate in:
Early Screening of Oral Cancer.
Patient Motivation and Counselling for Tobacco Cessation.
The department is fully equipped with an antigen retrieval microwave oven and Semiautomatic microtome for carrying out advanced diagnostic methods like immunohistochemical labelling and molecular level detection of diseases.
This is a versatile subject and deals with undergraduates of Ist year BDS and IIIrd year BDS with two separate University Examinations.
This department wasestablished in April 2013 undercollaboration with Roko cancer one of the kind of cancer detection centre in the region which facilitates in:
