College of Dental Surgery >> Department of Forensic Odontology
The department of Forensic Odontology was established in May 2002. While the first year (2002-03) saw the setting up of a separate department, over the past academic year the department has been involved in revising, improving and updating the syllabus in the same. An integrated approach to teach Forensic Dentistry with Forensic Medicine was undertaken. All resources are currently being mobilized to set up an exclusive laboratory in forensic dentistry.
