Practicing oral medicine and radiology in private setup: A comprehensive review

Abstract

Oral Medicine and Radiology (OMR) branch is an important bridge between Dentistry and Medicine and it must not be regarded largely as an institutional specialty. The vitality of the specialty can be advanced through establishment of an independent Private practice (PP) option as is found in all other clinical dental specialities. The option of PP might create broader appeal for entry into specialty and moreover, the patients also can avail the expertise of Oral physician more easily. Therefore, together we need to develop a global strategy to promote the clinical practice of Oral Medicine among patients and all other healthcare professionals to increase awareness of the speciality.
