What's the difference between stomatology and dentistry?

The difference between stomatology and dentistry is that stomatology covers a wider range than dentistry. Stomatology in specialized hospitals is divided into oral surgery, stomatology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, radiology, technician room and disinfection room.

Many people think that dentistry is equal to stomatology, which is incorrect.

Many people think that oral diseases are dental diseases, and dental diseases are tooth decay. Teeth are gradually damaged, discolored and loosened, and the most serious thing is tooth loss.

In fact, the oral and maxillofacial region has teeth, tongue, lips, nose, cheeks, salivary glands, temporomandibular joints and other organs, soft tissues such as skin, muscles, mucous membranes, nerves, blood vessels, ligaments and periodontal membranes, hard tissues such as teeth and jaws, and oral and maxillofacial region.

The oral cavity itself is in an environment with bacteria and is vulnerable to various diseases.

Oral and maxillofacial region is the part where people's mouth, facial features and expressions are located. The result of oral diseases not only destroys the shape and function of the oral cavity, but also affects the patient's face, which often causes psychological obstacles of patients. This result is far more serious than the occurrence of oral diseases themselves.

Like female clinical medicine at home and abroad, oral diseases include inflammation, tumor, trauma, deformity, infectious diseases, immune diseases, infection and so on. There are many kinds of diseases and a wide range.

In addition to the biological basis and pathological changes in clinical medicine such as women at home and abroad, it also has the characteristics of oral diseases themselves.

Therefore, oral diseases not only have common symptoms such as toothache, tooth discoloration, gingival bleeding, gingival swelling, tooth loosening, tooth loss, halitosis, oral ulcer, but also have clinical symptoms such as swelling and pain in maxillofacial region, limited mouth opening, crevice infection, jaw fracture, maxillofacial soft tissue injury, bleeding, intracranial infection, and dyspnea.

In fact, stomatology is still very complicated, and the work is meticulous. All patients need careful treatment. It can be said that it needs to be carefully carved, and the waiting time for diagnosis will become longer, but we must be patient in treating diseases.

Dear friends, please remember dentistry and stomatology. Oral diseases are not just dental diseases.
