Chinese medicine entered a significant period from foundation to maturity between Han and Tang dynasties when the Chinese traditional stomatology was a key stage. Sorting and analysis of existing literature and research outcomes have showed that current research on stomatology between Han and Tang dynasties focuses on oral physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment, and health care. It also involves stomatology history and explanation of termino-logies related to mouth and teeth recorded in medical books, use of simple methods, and thinking with citation and analysis of literature simply listed and reasoning preliminarily deducted. From the macro perspective, current research has not unveiled the whole picture of stomatology between the two dynasties and left a series of key issues unresolved. Thus, new methods should be developed and employed to carry out medical research on stomatology between Han and Tang dynasties given that is has a prosperous future.
中医在汉唐时期从奠基走向成熟，是中国传统口腔医学的关键阶段。通过对现有文献和研究成果的梳理和分析，发现汉唐口腔医学的研究主要集中在口腔生理、病理、诊断与治疗、保健等方面，涉及口腔医学史和医籍中与口腔、牙齿相关术语的训诂，运用简单方法，引经据典，初步演绎推理。从宏观上看，目前的研究还没有揭示汉唐口腔医学的全貌，留下了一系列关键问题没有解决。因此，需要运用新方法开展汉唐口腔医学的医学研究，前景广阔。
