In dentistry, the full form of OMR is Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. This is also called dental and maxillofacial radiology. It is a term used for imaging of dental, craniofacial and surrounding structures. OMR is not just restricted to imaging, but it also includes the analysis of the images for diagnostics.
There are multiple imaging technologies used in OMR. These include core beam computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), multislice computerized tomography (CT-Scan), positron emission tomography (PET-Scan), panoramic radiography, ultrasound, cephalometric imaging, and intra-oral imaging. OMR is a dental speciality recognized by most dental associations across the globe. The field is so vast that you must opt for a postgraduate program in OMR after completing the dental degree. The post-graduation course duration varies from 2 to 4 years. In addition, you are taught about radiation physics, radiation safety, radiation biology, radiation technique and all other aspects of OMR during the course. The duration of the program is dependent on the country of the college.
