Abstract:
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has proposed a national strategy for a healthy China, which includes the formulation of a new plan to promote high-quality development. Oral diseases have been included in the national "Medium- and Long-term Plan for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Diseases". China's national oral health strategy provides great opportunities for advancements in stomatology and for the improvement of the people's oral health. This article discusses these opportunities for advancement in the field of stomatology in China from six aspects: societal needs of oral health; advances in science and technology; changed diagnosis and treatment modes; application of big data; multidisciplinary integration; and talent training.
