Stomatology is a medical discipline to cultivate practical medical talents who master basic medical theory and clinical medical knowledge and engage in the diagnosis, treatment, repair and prevention of common oral diseases and frequently-occurring diseases.

Stomatology technology is very different from stomatology. Cultivate practical technical and skilled personnel who master the basic knowledge of stomatology and stomatology technology, have the basic skills of stomatology technology specialty and engage in stomatology technical services.

2. Different qualifications

Graduates majoring in stomatology can obtain the qualification certificate of stomatologist and assistant doctor certificate, and can diagnose and treat oral diseases. The work unit is mainly the stomatology and oral clinic of the hospital. However, graduates majoring in stomatology and technology can't take the examination of oral practitioners, nor can they make diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. After graduation, their employment direction is dental technicians in denture processing enterprises and medical institutions.

3. Different single strokes

Stomatology major belongs to the national medical control major. In some provinces, there is no single-recruitment plan for national control majors (for example, in 2020, Shaanxi Province has determined that national control majors will not participate in single-recruitment). That is to say, if students in some provinces want to choose stomatology and become doctors in the future, they are advised to take the college entrance examination instead of taking a single move, depending on the single move notice of each province.

Stomatology, as a medical technology major, is not a national control major, so you can also apply for it alone. For example, Henan 20 19 single recruit stipulates that national control majors are not allowed to participate in single recruit, but there are still single recruit students in stomatology technology major of Henan Nursing Vocational College.
