Modern stomatological education in China has developed into its present form over a period of 90 years. The College of Stomatology of the Fourth Military Medical University, as the only one of its kind in the Chinese army, has been playing an essential role in training professionals and guaranteeing the dental health of all officers and soldiers in the army. Its education system and five-year curricula designed for undergraduates were introduced in relation to those of China's first-rate stomatological colleges. This paper also examines in detail the problems of the current curriculum and holds up the prospect of a further improved curriculum to meet the ever increasing demand for qualified professionals in the military service.
