OVERVIEW

Oral Pathology is a core subject in dental science focused on studying the causes, development, and clinical features of oral diseases. It serves as a bridge between basic sciences and clinical dentistry, providing crucial knowledge for precise diagnosis, treatment planning, and preventive care.

At Bahria University Dental College, the curriculum offers an in-depth examination of oral pathologies, including those affecting the teeth, periodontium, oral mucosa, tongue, jaws, and salivary glands. Students learn to link clinical symptoms with underlying microbiological factors, allowing them to identify oral manifestations that might indicate systemic diseases.

The program prioritizes the integration of molecular pathology to enhance diagnostic precision. Students build strong foundations in both oral pathology and radiology, gaining the clinical skills needed for effective disease management. The educational approach combines lectures, interactive sessions, case studies, and research, with guidance from experienced faculty, and is supported by modern laboratory facilities and a specialized departmental library.
