INTRODUCTION
The Oral Biology graduate program is integrated with the 1st professional year B.D.S. curriculum and focuses on oral histology and tooth morphology. This specialty involves studying the structure of oral and craniofacial tissues and applying basic scientific knowledge to oral tissues in both healthy and diseased states. The full-year course covers embryology, growth and development, as well as the structure, composition, and functions of cells, tissues, and organs in the oral cavity. Oral Biology bridges basic medical sciences and clinical dental sciences
The mission of the Oral Biology department is to advance the field of oral health through excellence in research, education, and clinical practice. We are dedicated to exploring the biological basis of oral diseases, improving diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, and fostering an environment of academic and professional growth for our students and faculty. By bridging the gap between basic science and clinical application, we aim to enhance the quality of dental care and contribute to the overall health and well-being of our communities.
Our vision is to be a leading center of innovation in oral biology, recognized globally for pioneering research and exceptional education. We strive to be at the forefront of discoveries that shape the future of oral health, integrating cutting-edge scientific knowledge with clinical practice to address the evolving needs of patients. Through collaborative partnerships and a commitment to lifelong learning, we envision a future where our advancements drive improvements in dental care and contribute to the betterment of global health.
