  The Teaching Mission of the Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology is to educate dental students about the principles and applications of ionizing radiation in the diagnosis of oral-facial disease. This includes ensuring that the students have an appreciation for radiation physics, the biologic hazards attendant to the use of ionizing radiation, as well as the use of a Systematic Radiographic approach to the identification of Normal Anatomy and Pathologic Conditions. Also The Teaching Mission of the section of Clinical Pathology Conference Seminar (Oral Medicine, Oral Diagnosis, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology) is to raise awareness of the clinician to the large number of pathologic processes which may present themselves in both hard and soft tissues in clinical practice. The course is enhanced by the study of the characteristics of each disease as the dental clinician would observe them in practice. Consequently, etiology and pathogenesis; radiographic, histologic, and serologic findings; development of differential and definite diagnoses, and treatment are emphasized. |
