THE SPECIALITY

The Subject of Oral Medicine is a fascinating subset of dentistry and Medicine. It deals with oral disease; those with entirely local origin as well as diseases with deeper ramification. It has been said that the mouth is a mirror to the general health. It covers a spectrum that includes Oral Leukoplakia, pemphigus, oral tuberculosis, oral candidacies, oral cancer, Sjogren’s syndrome, Temporo-Mandibular joint disease or facial neuralgias. It also forms an integral part of Pain clinics and headache clinics. Thus apart from all aspects of dental diagnosis the subject interfaces with Internal Medicine, Skin, Orthopedics, Neurology, and Otorhinolaryngology. It is also the branch which formally associates itself with Hospital Dentistry; oral and dental care of Hospitalized patients.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of oral Medicine and radiology of Subharti dental college is a pivotal department as it combines the three pronged responsibility of managing the initial diagnosis and treatment planning of all the new dental patients including their dental radiographic needs but also is the centre for Specialized cases for all oral Medicine Cases and Advanced Maxillofacial Imaging.

A post-graduate program has been started in this branch in May 2009.

All mucosal lesions are recorded appropriately using digital or conventional SLR camera or intra-oral camera. This helps us to monitor objectively the progress of a lesion or the results of treatment as well as it forms a teaching record

Lesions requiring biopsy are biopsied or referred to the Oral Surgery for the same

Referral to the Medical College is carried out to complete the diagnostic evaluation for oral diseases with underlying systemic condition..
