In Pakistan, till 1990, the situation relating to the number of specialist dentists was not very pleasing. There were few teachers of Prosthodontics with postgraduate qualifications.

These Included Major Gen. Dr Atta –ur Rehman, Professor B A Yazdanie, , Major Gen. Dr Noor Hussain , Professor Tariq Zaman Ahmad and Professor Waheed Sheikh. Subsequently in the 1990s, a few others including Dr. Nazia Yazdanie, Dr. Fazal Ghani, Dr. Mohsin Ali, Dr. Asif Ali Shah, Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad and Dr. Azfar Siddiqui also joined this group.

In the beginning two post graduates programes i.e MDS and Diploma in Prosthodontics were offered at de’Montmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore
