Oral and maxillofacial pathology, the branch of dentistry concerning clinical and histopathological diagnosis of pathologies of the oral and maxillofacial region, started to develop in Colombia in the mid- 19th century. Since 1950s, dedicated dental clinicians from different dental schools played an important role in its inception and subsequent development. The first significant wave of progress occurred in the 1970s with the appearance of the first formally trained oral pathologists. It was sometime in the late 1980s and early 1990s that dentists Ines Velez and Benjamin Herazo had separate initiatives and created the first oral pathology postgraduate programs in Bogotá. It was in the late 80's and early 90's that dentists Ines Velez and Benjamin Herazo had their own initiatives and created the first oral pathology postgraduate programs in the city of Bogotá. A concomitant of their achievements was the establishment of the first on-site oral pathology biopsies units and registers at Colegio Odontãlogico Colombiano, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and Escuela Colombiana de Medicina dental schools. The programs have trained many dentists in the field over the years and two of them remain active and fully accredited. The past and present contributions and leaderships of some academic figures and graduates have allowed a steady evolution of the specialty nationwide. Currently, the ability to manage and overcome educational and professional challenges is necessary to advance the growth of this specialty in this country.
