Exploration and Practice of Utilizing Stomatology Museums As a Vehicle to Support Education

LI Gang, ZHOU Jian, ZHOU Xuedong

Abstract

The museums of stomatology provide important support for integrated education, bearing the responsibility and mission of cultural education. Serving as a vehicle of education, stomatology museums are an integral part of theoretical and ethical education. This article introduces the current development status of stomatology museums in China. Herein, we presented an overview of the development strategies for the construction of stomatology museums in China from the perspectives of becoming incorporated in the national museum management system, establishing an evaluation system for cultural artifacts of stomatology, conducting a national survey of movable cultural relics, and conducting historical research on cultural relics in museums. A development strategy for utilizing stomatology museums in China as a vehicle for education has been proposed from the perspectives of promoting the improvement of museum curation skills, establishing interactive activities in museums, promoting research and study tours in stomatology museums, establishing itinerant exhibitions, developing cultural and creative products for museums, and promoting digital construction of museums. This article will help explore new growth points for the development of stomatology museums in the new era.
