ITS DENTAL COLLEGE ORAL MEDICINE





ITS DENTAL COLLEGE RADIOLOGY




The subject is taught in the third year and fourth year BDS. The course involves didactic lectures and clinical postings. In Oral Diagnosis, patients seeking diagnosis and treatment of their dental problems, oral mucosal lesions, facial pain, TMJ disorders, and salivary gland disorders will be seen. During clinical posting, patients will be allotted to students. They are expected to take case history, examine the patients and formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan and the faculty guide students in doing this. They are also trained in taking intraoral radiographs and interpreting them.

During the clinical postings, students are required to present a seminar using multi- media projector on the topic allotted. Students are also expected to complete assignment of case history recording, clinical problem-based exercises and radiological exercises and submit to the department at the end of the postings. Three sessional examinations will be conducted in the subject before University examination. End posting clinical examination will also be held for internal assessment.

The post graduate programme focuses on inculcate academic proficiency as well as management skills of cases that require overall development of clinical and radiological diagnostic acumen.  The teaching programme includes the basic medical science also
