44^th World Dental Science and Oral Health Congress

Oral Pathology

Dental pathology is the cornerstone of oral and maxillofacial surgery. With the help of histopathology, cytopathology, hematology, immunohistochemistry, clinical biochemistry, microbiology, molecular science, forensic odontology, and many other fields, it is a branch of dentistry where research meets clinical practise, making it a distinctive and uncommon branch in its own right. By examining the causes, mechanisms, and effects of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial region, it serves as the foundation of dental science.

Because of this, this branch needs to be updated as soon as possible to analyze health data, research results, and treatment approaches in order to provide a diagnostic and therapeutic advice for specific patients. It won't be necessary to practise pathology under a traditional microscope because the use of digital technologies in oral pathology is about to become the norm. Pathological labs must operate more effectively than ever before on a global scale.
