About the Department

Oral Medicine is the discipline of dentistry concerned with the oral health care of medically complex patients - including the diagnosis and management of medical conditions that affect the oral and maxillofacial region. Our professionals care for patients whose underlying medical condition affect oral health and delivery of dental care. Also advocate for optimal oral health and healthcare for everyone with medical illness.

Oral and maxillofacial radiology is the specialty of dentistry and discipline of radiology concerned with the production and interpretation of images and data produced by all modalities of radiant energy that are used for the diagnosis and management of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral and maxillofacial region.

Aims of oral Medicine

  • Active management of dental issues in an out-patient setting
  • Management of patients as part of team managing medically compromised at a hospital in-patient setting.
  • Palliative management of dental issues in terminally ill patients.

Center of Activity

COA

Diseases affecting head and neck region are numerous ranging not only limited to teeth and gums but also orofacial pain and cancer conditions. Diagnosis of these conditions and their medical treatment has been the main stay of Oral Medicine and Radiology. Here, the oral and maxillofacial diseases are diagnosed and treated using conventional and advanced technologies. Digital dentistry refers to the use of technologies and devices that incorporates digital or computer-controlled components to carry out the dental procedures. The Department of Oral medicine and Radiology at JSS Dental college has been incorporating concepts of advanced engineering, machine learning and artificial intelligence to render accuracy and prompt services.

  • Advanced diagnostics including intraoral camera, ultra-modern light-based devices for the early detection of oral precancer and cancer detection
  • Sophisticated ingenious digital intraoral and extraoral imaging devices belonging to indirect digital and direct digital segments are available
  • Advanced treatment equipment's - Lasers, in-office and pocket TENS, Transdermal stimulators like SCENAR are available
  • 3-Dimensional advanced imaging of teeth, jaws and face using cone- beam technology (CBCT) along with its extended advanced uses like 3D reconstructions, Implant planning, jaw and tooth segmentation, airway analysis has been a routine workflow
  • Extended applications such as 3D printing using 3D scan

Numerous national and international projects and clinical trials on deep machine learning and artificial intelligence incorporation in various imaging applications and precancerous and cancerous detection have been completed.
