Oral Pathology is one of the basic science subject in dentistry, concerned with the scientific study of the cause and effect of oral diseases, an understanding of which is essential for diagnosis and for the development of rationale for treatment planning and preventive program.
The discipline of Oral Pathology links the training in basic sciences with its applications in clinical dentistry. It covers the diverse spectrum of disease processes affecting oral structures and tissues.

The course at Bahria University Medical and Dental College offers an in depth study into pathologies of the oral cavity including the teeth, periodontium, oral mucosa, tongue, jaws and salivary glands, among other areas affected with disease. This helps to correlate the clinical appearance of the disease with their underlying microbiological features. Many of the general syndromes can have oral manifestations characteristic enough to lead to the diagnosis of the underlying syndrome.

The students are trained to understand the possibilities of molecular pathology in diagnosis of syndromes. Good skills in Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology form the basis of understanding any disease process, as well as the practical skills needed in the diagnosis and management of oral diseases.
Subject information is delivered to students through lectures, interactive sessions, case presentations and research projects throughout the year. The department comprises of well trained and experienced postgraduate faculty along with the departmental library and state of the art laboratory facilities.
