Chinese Journalof Stomatology has issued eighty papers on Chinese stomatology history in seventy years. According to three stages of the journal,statistics of the quantity and themes of the issued papers are compiled: the number of issued papers increased while the theme shifted from Chinese stomatology history before 1912 to Chinese contemporary stomatology history. Research methods shifted from the comparatively scanty summary or induction on literature and cultural relics materials to multidisciplinary approaches. Early researches testified the achievments of senior scholars such as Zhou Dacheng and Mao Xiejun in the field while research teams represented by colleges and research institutions have published varied research topics in recent years. As the research deepens, platforms for issuing stomatology papers have been expanded and more subjects have been cross-disciplined. Varieties of academic monographs on stomatology history and stomatology education history have been published, among which Zhou Dacheng's Historic textual research of Chinese stomatology can be regarded as a milestone in the field. Comparing with other fields of stomatology, current research on stomatology history still has much more gaps to fill. The academic community should put more emphasis on talent training, discipline construction, research approaches, museum construction, as well as the cooperation between Chinese and western medical sciences so that to assist in the long-term development of the research.
《中华口腔医学杂志》70年（1953—2022年）发展历史中，共刊载口腔医学史研究论文80篇。以杂志成长的3个历史时期为线索，统计刊载数量和主题内容可知：论文发表数量在不断增加，主题也由中国古代口腔医学史向现当代口腔医学史转变。研究方法则从比较单一的文献、文物资料归纳与总结，向多学科交叉，文史考证的方向发展。早期研究有周大成、毛燮均等老一代大家的积淀与引领，近年来则逐渐形成以高校和研究机构为代表的研究团队，凝练出若干研究主题。随着口腔医学史研究的深化，学术成果发表的平台不断扩展，触及的学科不断增加，出版的口腔医学史、口腔医学教育史专著也有多部，周大成先生的《中国口腔医学史考》在学术史上具有里程碑意义。与口腔医学其他研究领域相比，目前我国口腔医学史的研究尚有不足，仍有较大的开掘空间，前景十分广阔。学界应该在人才培养、学科建设、研究方法、博物馆建设、中西医学合作等几个方面不断强化，助力研究的长足发展。.
