Abstract

Oral pathology is one of the major basic dental science subject taught to 3rd Year BDS students.
Like other basic dental science subjects, oral pathology is gradually emerging as specialty in Pakistan
as more students pursue post-graduation opportunities both nationally and internationally. Graduate
students are trained according to standard outlines directed at familiarizing them to the pathologies
of the oral cavity. However, at the undergraduate level the current oral pathology curriculum currently
taught in Pakistan Dental College is quite vague and needs thorough revision. The aim of this article
is to make some suggestions for the improvement of the oral pathology curriculum with emphasis on
geographical variations of oral diseases worldwide.
