Oral medicine and oral pathology is the branch and specialty of dentistry concerned with the diagnosis, nature and primarily non-surgical management of oral, maxillofacial, and temporomandibular diseases and disorders, including dental management of patients with medical complications. Oral medicine and oral pathology are two applied components of this specialty.
The NDSE in oral medicine and/or oral pathology tests a candidate’s knowledge and clinical competence at the specialty level in Canada.
The blueprint below indicates the domains and approximate percentage of examination in each domain. Oral medicine and oral pathology candidates are required to demonstrate competency in all the domains.
