A seminar room and a departmental library are utilized for academic purpose.

A specially designed surgery section is an added attraction to the deptt. Of Prosthodontics for implant cases.  

Oral pathology & Microbiology 

The Department of Oral Pathology & Microbiology of the D.A.V (C) Dental College & Hospital is dedicated to providing an environment of scholarly inquiry; teaching and patient care wherein graduate students can pursue their study of the specialty of oral and maxillofacial pathology with both effectiveness and flexibility.

The required course work and rotations are designed to assure a student's exposure to and competency in the various aspects of speciality practice in oral and maxillofacial pathology as defined in the Dental council of India’s Standards for Advanced Speciality Education Programs in Oral Pathology.

The elective courses and rotations available to graduate students provide a variety of opportunities for professional enrichment in areas of clinical practice related to oral and maxillofacial pathology and in areas of basic science and research important to a student's future academic pursuits. The program includes a required research component and thesis defense leading to either the degree of Master or Doctor of Dental Sciences. The objective of that activity is to train each student in the design and conduct of biomedical research. The program recognizes that students come to graduate training from a wide variety of backgrounds and with differing experience, needs and career objectives. While maintaining basic standards as outlined above, we try to allow each graduate student to tailor his/her research program and elective course work and rotations to his/her needs so as to maximize the future utility of the training received. We are able to offer such flexibility because of the diversity of opportunities offered through the University's various Schools and Affiliates, an environment of didactic activity, patient care, and clinical and basic biomedical research that is the equal of any in the world.

Students are encouraged to achieve competency in oral and maxillofacial pathology to at least the level of Fellowship in the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. In addition, they are offered the opportunity to develop expertise in research, diagnostic surgical pathology and teaching, so as to be competitive in the pursuit of their long-term career goals. We hope in this way to contribute to our student's success and to promote progress for both oral and maxillofacial pathology and the dental profession overall.
