[Terminological problems of orthopedic stomatology]. 1989

I Bosnev

The author discusses the term orthopedic stomatology used only in the Soviet and Bulgarian literature implying prosthetic treatment in the maxillofacial region and oral cavity, proposing its substitution for a more appropriate and officially accepted, on a world-wide scale, named prosthetic stomatology. In this way, the aim is the elimination of the incorrect terms out of the scientific stomatological language in addition to the achievement of terminological standardization with the other countries throughout the world.
