Major introduction

Develop clinical and research skills in oral disease diagnosis and treatment to become a professional doctor in oral health.

Program overview

Clinical Stomatology is the core direction of the graduate stage of stomatology, mainly focusing on how to diagnose and treat oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, oral mucosal diseases, and maxillofacial trauma. The curriculum is very practical: in addition to core courses like "Oral Medicine," "Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery," "Prosthodontics," and "Orthodontics," you will also study "Oral Imaging Diagnosis," "Dental Materials Science," and "Clinical Skills Training." Many stomatology schools in Chinese universities have affiliated hospitals, such as Peking University School of Stomatology, West China Hospital of Stomatology, and Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, providing abundant clinical resources. Students can start working with real cases from their first year of graduate study. This major suits students with strong hands-on skills, patience, and a love for interacting with people. If you are interested in dental aesthetics, minimally invasive treatments, or digital dental technology, there are many cutting-edge directions to choose from.

Major prospects

口腔医疗在中国是持续增长的领域,因为大家越来越重视牙齿健康和美观。种植牙、隐形矫正、儿童早期矫治这些项目需求很大。中国高校在口腔数字化方面投入很多,比如3D打印牙冠、数字化导板种植、AI辅助诊断,这些技术正在改变临床流程。国际学生可以关注两个方向:一是中国与“一带一路”国家的口腔医疗合作,二是高端私立诊所对多语种医生的需求。另外,中国口腔医学的科研产出在全球排名靠前,如果你对基础研究感兴趣,很多实验室在做牙周再生、生物材料、口腔微生物组等课题。

Career prospects

毕业后最直接的出路是成为口腔医生。在中国,研究生学历通常能进三甲医院口腔科或大型口腔专科医院,起薪大概在1-2万人民币/月(一线城市),随着职称和经验的提升,收入增长空间大。也可以去高端私立诊所,比如泰康拜博、瑞尔齿科,这类机构对国际医生比较欢迎,薪资可能更高,但要求沟通能力强。如果想做科研,可以留校或进研究所,或者去医疗器械公司做临床技术支持。还有一部分人会自己开诊所,不过需要积累几年经验和资金。对于国际学生,回国后可以考取本国的执业医师资格,或者在中国继续深造读博。
