Department of ORAL PATHOLOGY AND MICROBIOLOGY

Overview

The department of oral pathology and microbiology started in the year 2001. This department deals with two subjects in BDS curriculum; dental anatomy, embryology and oral histology as well as oral and maxillofacial pathology and microbiology. Forensic odontology is the recent addition into our branch.

Dental anatomy, embryology and oral histology is the subject taught in the first BDS which deals with the development, morphology, physiology, histology of tissues organs of head and neck to give an idea of normal structures before the student goes on to treat abnormalities.
