Oral genetic diseases and rare diseases are special oral diseases with low prevalence, complex clinical characteristics and serious condition. In addition to regular oral diagnosis and treatment, multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment including genetic counseling should also be carried out for such diseases. This article reviews the basic content of genetic counseling, the current application status of genetic counseling in the field of stomatology in China and the problems faced, such as the lack of genetic counseling personnel and the popularization of genetic counseling knowledge. Aims to promote the application of genetic counseling in dental practice in the future, it is proposed to carry out genetic training for stomatologists, promote the integration of medical genetic expertise and oral knowledge, as well as discipline cooperation, and strengthen the standardization of genetic counseling for oral diseases.
口腔遗传病和罕见病是一类特殊的口腔疾病，其患病率低、临床特征复杂且病情严重。对于这类疾病，除了进行常规的口腔诊断和治疗外，还应开展包括遗传咨询在内的多学科诊断和治疗。本文综述了遗传咨询的基本内容、遗传咨询在我国口腔医学领域的应用现状以及面临的问题，如遗传咨询人员短缺和遗传咨询知识普及不足等。为促进未来遗传咨询在口腔医疗实践中的应用，建议对口腔医生进行遗传学培训，推动医学遗传学专业知识与口腔知识的融合以及学科间合作，并加强口腔疾病遗传咨询的规范化。
