About

Prof Dr.S.Jayachandran, MDS,Ph.D, MAMS, FDSRCPS(Glasgow), Head of the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, TamilNadu Government Dental College and Hospital for the past 16 years. I have contributed significantly in the field of Oral medicine and radiology. I have done various researches in the field of oral cancer to diagnose using Tissue Auto fluorescence, diffuse reflectance, and Raman spectroscopy non - invasively at an earlier stage. I studied using body fluids like saliva and serum for the diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma like salivary interleukins levels and serum nitric oxide and superoxide dismutase significance in cancer and oral sub mucous fibrosis. Studied about the Colour Doppler USG in the evaluation of metastatic lymph node. I am conducting clinical trials and treatment modalities for oral and maxillofacial lesions like Pentoxifylline treatment for Oral Sub mucous fibrosis, Bromhexine therapy in rheumatoid arthritis patients, Low intensity Laser therapy for Lichen Planus, Honey and Benzydamine Hydrochloride therapy In radiation Mucositis and Photodynamic therapy in treatment of Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Leukoplakia. I have conducted epidemiological research about the significance of oral lesions in studies on Oral Cancer and also the prevalence of common dental anomalies. I have also carried out identification of oral lesions in HIV in ART vs. pre-ART patients and formulated dental considerations for HIV patients. Currently I am working on the application of Cone Beam Computed Tomography in diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial conditions. I am interested in forensic dentistry and researched about the age estimation with dentin translucency using Raman Spectroscopy. I have both national and international publications. I have authored books such as oral cancer prevention and oral health on overall health to create awareness to society.
