The medical category includes many majors, among which clinical medicine and stomatology are the most popular majors. Although there is only two words between the major of stomatology and the major of stomatology, the gap between the two is actually huge. So, is oral medicine technology rubbish? Can I do anything after learning dental medicine technology?

1. Is dental medicine technology rubbish?

1. What do you learn about dental medicine technology?

Taking the relevant introduction from Peking University School of Stomatology as an example, the courses for the dental medicine technology major are divided into three categories:

(1) Comprehensive quality courses: college English, advanced mathematics , basic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology, political theory courses, ideological and moral cultivation and legal foundation, computer applications, etc. These courses are courses that most science and engineering majors will take. The content is relatively basic and they are also called general education courses.

(2) Basic medical courses: systematic anatomy, histology and embryology, physiology, biochemistry, medical microbiology, pathophysiology, pathology, etc.

(3) Professional courses: Introduction to oral medicine, oral regional anatomy, introduction to materials science, materials mechanics, arts and crafts, oral materials science, dental anatomy, oral physiology, oral histopathology, Oral equipment science, dental medical aesthetics, oral diagnostic radiology, orthodontics, oral implantology, prosthodontics, dental restoration technology, etc.

Many professional courses in the oral medicine technology major overlap with the oral medicine major, because the oral medicine major will also study courses such as oral implantology and prosthodontics. But the dental medicine major will not involve too many material-related courses. Moreover, the educational system for oral medicine major is five or eight years, but oral medicine technology generally only lasts for four years.

2. Is dental medicine technology rubbish?

The dental medicine technology major is not rubbish, but you must distinguish it from the dental medicine major before applying.

The reason why many candidates say that the oral medicine technology major is rubbish is because they think that this major is the same as the oral medicine major and that graduates can become dentists. However, this is everyone's misunderstanding. Oral medicine technology in our country started relatively late, and there are not many universities offering this major. As people pay more and more attention to oral health, the demand for both dentists and dental processing talents will increase, so the future employment prospects of oral medical technology majors will not be bad.

2. Can I do anything after learning dental medicine technology?

There are many main employment directions for students majoring in dental medicine technology. Graduates can engage in the teaching, scientific research and clinical work of oral medical technology in domestic dental colleges and dental hospitals; they can also engage in the development and application of dental digital software and hardware in dental equipment R&D and production institutions; and they can also work in dentures. Processing enterprises are engaged in technical and management work, or they are engaged in technical support, commercial marketing, etc. in related medical device material companies.

Many candidates and parents will confuse dental medicine and dental medicine technology majors, but in fact the two are easy to distinguish. The main employment directions of the former are orthodontics, implants, restorations, periodontics, endodontics, and maxillofacial surgery. Simply put, they deal with dental-related diseases and help patients improve their oral environment. This is what everyone often calls being a dentist. . However, oral medicine technology focuses on "the teeth themselves", focusing on material development and technical support, such as making dental molds and dentures and some accessories or equipment. You cannot be a dentist.
