| Introduction | | | The department of Oral Pathology & Microbiology helps to give the clinician a more composite view of the disease with the help of various Hematological, Serological, Microbiological, Histopathological & Cytological investigations. This in turn results in a better & more definitive treatment plan for the patients.The department has been divided into Clinical laboratory, Histopathology section, Microbiology section, Research section, Undergraduate practical hall, Postgraduate discussion room, Museum. In one line
"A FEATHER IN THE CROWN OF THIS PRESTIGEOUS INSTITUTE IN SOUTH-EAST ASIA". | |
| Clinical Laboratory | | | The Clinical laboratory has been divided into various sections depending upon the nature of work undertaken. Each section has different color coded forms for investigations. These reported forms are systematically filed in same color coded files so that at any time they are retrieved easily.
This lab works round the clock as and when need arises, particularly in cases of emergencies. | |
| Haematology Section | | | Routine hematological investigations such as estimation of haemoglobin percentage, packed cell volume, cell counts, E.S.R., BT/CT, Blood grouping etc are done on a regular basis. Blood groups of all the Teaching staff, Undergraduates, Postgraduates, Office staff, Paradental staff, attainders, Peons etc of the College has been recorded and utilized during emergencies. | |
| Serology Section | | | Serological investigations include screening 2 antibodies and Hepatitis B surface antigen.
Hepatitis B surface antigen screening test of all the Teaching staff, Undergraduates, Postgraduates, Office staff, Para dental staff, Attainders, Peons etc of the College is being recorded every year. | |
| Biochemical Section | | | Biochemical investigations include estimation of blood sugar level, blood electrolytes and blood chemistry using Transasia Erba Chem Pro Semiautomatic biochemical analyzer. | |
| Urine analysis | | | Urine examination for its appearance and microscopy. | |
| Vaccination Section | | | The department undertakes vaccination against Hepatitis B for the Teaching staff, Undergraduates, Postgraduates, Office staff, Para dental staff, Attainders, Peons etc. | |
| Histopathology Section | | | Here the biopsy specimen is received, macroscopy of the same is done and recorded. The representative tissue bits are processed and sectioned with Leica 2155 soft tissue microtome. This follows staining
Routine H&E staining, PAS staining, Toluidine blue staining and special staining includes Van-Geison staining, Masson Trichrome stain, Alcian Blue, Mucicarmin, Gordin & Sweets stain for Reticulin, Highmans Congo red, Alizarin red and Picrocirus staining are being done at present. These will definitely increased in coming days. | |
| Cytology Section | | | The section helps the clinician in rapidly diagnosing the representative biopsy site. Here the received specimen is stained with rapid Papaniclou report is being given. | |
| Microbiology Section | | | The microbiology section is one of the best-noted sections among the dental colleges of India. Here other than routine culture & sensitivity, many aerobic & anaerobic studies are being done regularly. Some of studies are sponsored by Multinational companies | |
| Research Section | | | Leica DMRB Research Microscope
with Leica microphotograph unit & Sony Closed Circuit T.V Camera. This is used to do Phase contrast, Polarized, Interference, Fluorescent, Dark-field microscopic studies & for teaching. The photographs taken were published as front page photos in international reputed journals
Leica Stereomicroscope with Leica microphotograph unit & Sony Closed Circuit T.V Camera. This is used mainly in 3 - dimensional studies. Other dental dept. faculty & students do not only use this but they are also used by medical, textiles & engineering students.Leica soft tissue microtome
Leica hard tissue microtome which has a capacity to cut the hard tissue sections of the thickness 10 microns without deformation. The micromotor can be used for decalcified or undecalcified, embedded or unembedded bone, with or without implants, Teeth with or without implants, Mineralogical and geological samples, Glass-fibre reinforced plastics or other hard materials, Ceramics and porcelain, Methyl methacrylate embeddings.
In the past 3 years, 77 studies have been done for various departments & colleges in this section. This itself is self explanatory for brickbat throwers. There is nothing wrong in saying that this section is backbone of this esteemed dental institute. Research work, which were done in the department have been awarded in state & national level conferences. | |
| Under Graduate Section | | | This laboratory is very well illuminated and aerated with a large surface area. This lab can accommodate 60 students easily. Here students are being taught the practical aspect of oral anatomy, histology, pathology & microbiology. This lab is equipped with 50 monocular light microscopes, which is being used to demonstrate the microscopic features of normal structures(65 slides) & diseases process(85 slides). There are good numbers of self-explanatory charts/models of normal & abnormal structures of oral region.
The department conducts regular discussions, tests & mock exams so that they are prepared well for annual examination.
Above all as the college emblem says, the budding dental professionals are being constructively motivated, inspired in the right direction to do their duties with dedication and discipline.
The students are properly instigated to follow the strict asepsis in the clinics by explaining the live cases where asepsis was compromised.
The extra-curricular activities of the students are identified, nurtured, inspired, supported, appreciated & provided the right platform to go ahead with their talent.
The Rajiv Gandhi University Examination result in the last exam is 91%, which is self-explanatory regarding the training. | |
| Museum | | | This museum has unique collection of study models, hard & soft tissue specimens which are neatly displayed in separate sections like dental anatomy, comparative dental anatomy, developmental disturbances, pathological lesions based on various etiologies. This is very useful for the undergraduates to understand the normal & disease process in a better way.
As the saying Seeing is Believing, many a times the patients are getting motivated to quit the bad habits after seeing the museum. | |
