Professor Mao Xiejun wrote a report about dental education of China in 1935. From 1948 to 1950, he published three articles containing the educational idea of "developing dentistry into stomatology". When he served as the director of the Faculty of Dentistry of Peking University Medical School in July 1950, he proposed to rename the Faculty of Dentistry into the Faculty of Stomatology,which were approved by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in one month. The Chinese Medical Association established the Society of Stomatology the next year. Later, dentistry was successively changed into stomatology, and medical content was integrated into dental education, which was of great significance and far-reaching influence. During the developments of the thought of stomatological education in China, Professor Mao Xiejun evidently played a pivotal role. In this paper, the formation process of the thoughts of stomatological education related to professor Mao Xiejun's contribution is elucidated through studying the archives, personal letters, and historical documents, so as to enrich the researches on the history of stomatology in China and to facilitate better understanding and promoting the development of stomatology.
毛燮均教授于1935年撰写了一篇关于中国牙科教育的报告。1948年至1950年期间，他发表了三篇文章，阐述了“将牙医学发展为口腔医学”的教育理念。1950年7月，他担任北京大学医学院牙医学系主任时，提议将牙医学系更名为口腔医学系，该提议在一个月内得到了中华人民共和国卫生部和教育部的批准。次年，中华医学会成立了口腔医学会。后来，牙医学相继改为口腔医学，医学内容融入牙科教育，具有重大意义和深远影响。在中国口腔医学教育思想的发展过程中，毛燮均教授显然起到了关键作用。本文通过研究档案、私人信件和历史文献，阐明了与毛燮均教授贡献相关的口腔医学教育思想的形成过程，以丰富中国口腔医学史的研究，促进对口腔医学的更好理解和发展。
