Abstract

This article summarizes and organizes relevant publications in journals, along with a review of medical history, systematically summarizing the development process of dental alveolar surgery in China. The initial establishment phase (1935-1952) marked the starting point of Chinese Alveolar Surgery. Despite the impact of wars, it laid the foundation for subsequent research and practice. During the early development phase (1953-1966), the "Chinese Journal of Stomatology" was founded, which promoted the development of Alveolar Surgery. Research focused on tooth extraction methods and complications. Tooth Transplantation and Preprosthetic Surgery gradually began to take off. The stagnant phase (1967-1977) occurred due to the interruption of international exchanges, leading to an almost complete halt in the development of Alveolar Surgery. Entering the rapid catch-up phase (1978-1985), Alveolar Surgery scholars in China began striving to overcome the stagnation of the previous decade. While some progress was made, no significant innovative achievements emerged. In the scientific development phase (1986-2010), clinical research, basic experiments, and paper writing in modern Chinese Alveolar Surgery began to adhere to scientific standards with the rise of experimental medicine. The exploration and innovation stage (2011-2023) is the current development phase, during which Chinese Aveolar Surgery has reached its peak, making substantial progress in technology, clinical practices, and basic research, gradually reaching or even surpassing international advanced levels. Looking back at the development history in China, we can find the wisdom and hard work of the older generation of Alveolar Surgery scholars. However, contemporary challenges and issues, such as standardizing technology, promoting clinical practices, and talent cultivation, need to be addressed by present-day Alveolar Surgery professionals as they forge ahead.

本文总结和梳理《中华口腔医学杂志》等发表的相关文章并结合医史探询,系统总结了中国牙槽外科的发展历程。初始创建阶段(1935—1952年)是中国牙槽外科发展的起点,尽管受到战争的影响,但为后来的研究和实践奠定了基础;起步发展阶段(1953—1966年),《中华口腔医学杂志》的创刊促进了牙槽外科的发展,研究集中在拔牙方法和拔牙并发症,牙移植和修复前外科逐渐起步;停滞不前阶段(1967—1977年),由于国际交流的中断,牙槽外科的发展几乎停滞;奋起直追阶段(1978—1985年),改革开放后,牙槽外科学者开始努力追赶前十年的停滞,虽取得了一定的进展,但无显著创新成果诞生;科学发展阶段(1986—2010年)中,随着实验医学的兴起,中国现代牙槽外科的临床研究、基础实验、论文撰写都开始进入科学规范的时代;探索创新阶段(2011—2023年)是当前的发展阶段,中国牙槽外科也迎来了发展的最高峰,在技术、临床、基础领域均取得了巨大的进步,逐步达到甚至赶超国际先进水平。回顾我国牙槽外科从无到有、从弱到强的学科发展历程,可见我国老一辈牙槽外科学者的智慧和汗水。然而,当下也面临着新的挑战和问题,如技术标准化、临床实践的推广和人才培养等,这需要当代牙槽外科人砥砺前行。.
