About the Department
The Branch of Basic Sciences serves as the cornerstone of dental education, providing students with the essential scientific and medical knowledge required for their academic and professional development. The department is responsible for teaching fundamental biomedical sciences during the early years of study, enabling students to acquire a solid foundation for understanding advanced clinical and dental subjects in later stages of the curriculum.
The branch offers a range of core scientific courses, including:
- Anatomy and Histology: Study of the structure of the human body and oral tissues.
- Physiology: Understanding the functions and mechanisms of the body's organ systems.
- Chemistry and Biochemistry: Exploration of chemical principles and biochemical processes within living organisms.
- Medical Microbiology: Study of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and their roles in health and disease.
- Pharmacology: Understanding the actions, effects, and therapeutic applications of drugs.
- Medical Physics and Computer Science: Introduction to fundamental physical principles and their technological applications in healthcare.
