INDIRA GANDHI INSTITUTE OF DENTAL SCIENCE
Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University)
Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology
Research Activities
The department mainly focus on diagnosis and management of oral mucosal and potentially malignant diseases. The research thrust areas oriented towards Potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer and advanced imaging modalities. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an advanced imaging modality that has high clinical applications in the field of dentistry. CBCT proved to be a successful investigative modality that has been used for dental and maxillofacial imaging.
