An Overview of Radiology and Oral Medicine

Abstract

Although oral medicine and radiography are specialties in many regions of the world, 33 nations and 22 have post-graduate programmes in these fields. Oral and facial abnormalities, especially orofacial symptoms of systemic diseases, are the focus of the field of oral medicine, which is often known as "dental medicine." The latter comprise the symptoms of neurological or psychiatric illness as well as gastrointestinal, dermatological, rheumatological, and hemological diseases. They also include autoimmune and immunodeficiency disorders. The development and expansion of oral medicine and radiography in India are discussed in this paper.
