Patients undergo comprehensive clinical examination of the oral and paraoral structures, supported by diagnostic investigations such as radiographs, FNAC, and biopsy. Based on the diagnosis, they are referred to the appropriate specialty departments for definitive treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department offers well-equipped undergraduate and postgraduate clinics, providing students with hands-on clinical training under the guidance of experienced faculty. The Radiology Division is equipped with conventional and digital imaging facilities, including intraoral X-ray, RVG, OPG, and a dedicated Oral Cancer Screening and Biopsy Unit for early detection of oral diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department is committed to excellence in patient care, quality education, research, and community outreach. Regular academic activities, scientific research, and participation in conferences ensure continuous learning and professional development for both faculty and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\n
