What is an oral and maxillofacial pathologist (OMP)?
An oral and maxillofacial pathologist is a dentist, who after graduation from Dental School continued training in a three year Oral Pathology Training Program. OMPs specialize in the microscopic, radiologic and clinical diagnosis of pathologic conditions which affect the oral and maxillofacial area. Many oral and maxillofacial pathologists are actively engaged in research.
