Overview

The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is the diagnostic cornerstone of our dental school. We specialize in the study, diagnosis, and interpretation of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions, bridging the gap between basic sciences and clinical practice.

Our Expertise

Our pathologists are experts in the microscopic and clinical correlation of oral lesions. By integrating macroscopic findings, clinical signs, and advanced imaging with meticulous histopathological examination, we provide definitive diagnostic support to clinicians, ensuring accurate treatment planning.

Clinical Scope

Our department provides comprehensive diagnostic pathology services, including:

• Diagnostic Pathology: Microscopic analysis of biopsies to identify benign and malignant lesions.
• Oral Cancer Screening: Expert evaluation of potentially malignant disorders.
• Systemic Correlation: Examining how systemic conditions manifest within the oral cavity.
• Diagnostic Consultation: Providing definitive interpretations to referring clinicians for complex cases.

Educational & Research Mission

We are committed to academic excellence in oral pathology. Our educational program emphasizes the rigorous study of oral disease mechanisms. Our research agenda is focused on oral oncology, the epidemiology of maxillofacial lesions, and molecular pathology, ensuring that our students are well-versed in the complexities of oral disease.
