Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology is an academic unit where the mouth and surrounding structures are systematically examined, all physiological and pathological changes in these structures are interpreted together with clinical, radiographic and, if necessary, histopathological or biochemical findings, and treatments are planned.

Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology Department Fields of Study

- Tooth and gum diseases

- Jaw bones and temporomandibular joint

- Soft tissues of the head and neck region

- Oral diseases associated with systemic diseases

- Physics and biology of radiation

- Digital radiography

Our department continues its work in two separate clinics: Oral Diagnosis and Radiology.

Initial examinations of patients applying to our Faculty are performed in the Oral Diagnosis Clinic. Correct diagnosis is essential for the appropriate and sufficient treatment of the patient. For this reason, in addition to examining the main reasons for the patients' application, all head-neck region and intraoral examinations are performed in the Oral Diagnosis Clinic.

After the examination in the Oral Diagnosis Clinic in the Radiology Clinic, the patient's intraoral or extraoral radiographs deemed necessary for diagnosis are taken. The disease is diagnosed in the light of clinical and radiological examinations and the patient is directed to the clinics where the necessary treatment will be applied. While the X-ray examination supports the intraoral examination findings, it also sometimes provides the diagnosis of diseases, cysts and tumors found in the jaw bones that do not show any symptoms in the mouth. Today, in addition to dental and jaw X-rays, imaging methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasonography (USG) have become increasingly used in dental radiology. For such radiological examinations, the patient is directed to medical radiology clinics.
