Pakistan's Dental Schools

Pakistan is a relatively new country, separated from India as an independent Muslim state in 1947. Universities in Pakistan generally offer "pass" (two-year) or "honor" (four-year) degrees from colleges. Pakistani dental schools actually pre-date the official formation of the country, the first being opened in 1934. The Pakistan Medical and Dental Council currently recognizes 28 public and private dental schools located in various regions of the country.
