Abstract

Abstract : China is a developing country with the largest population of any country in the world. The 2010 sixth national census found that China's population was 1, 339, 724, 852, accounting for about 19 percent of the world's total population. However, higher education in the Chinese dental field started late and developed slowly. In order to acquaint more dental educators worldwide about China's current higher dental education system, this article provides a brief introduction to the present education system, degrees conferred, curriculum setting, training mode, teaching materials, courses, and academic journals.
