The primary mission of the Department of Oral Diagnostic Sciences is to teach, conduct research and related scholarship, and provide service in the differential diagnosis of orofacial diseases and disorders. Inherent in this mission is the teaching and application of the principles, scientific bases and techniques that underlie the diagnostic disciplines and the advancement of knowledge in these areas. This implies that emphasis will be given to the use and integration of those biological, behavioral and clinical sciences that are relevant to the differential diagnosis of pathological conditions in the orofacial region and to the utilization of critical thinking skills in that process. Although priority will be given to didactic, laboratory, seminar and clinical teaching to predoctoral dental students, particularly in required courses, the department maintains a strong commitment to graduate education, research mentoring, and the creation of new knowledge and insights through scientific research and related scholarship. |
