Oral medicine (sometimes termed dental medicine, oral and maxillofacial medicine or stomatology) is a specialty focused on the mouth and nearby structures. It lies at the interface between medicine and dentistry. The specialty is defined within Europe under Directive 2001/19/EC. ==History== The importance of the mouth in medicine has been recognized since the earliest known medical writings. For example, Hippocrates, Galen and others considered the tongue to be a "barometer" of health, and emphasized the diagnostic and prognostic importance of the tongue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.maxillofacialcenter.com/epid/epidemiology.HTM )〕 However, oral medicine as a specialization is a relatively new subject area. It used to be termed "stomatology" (-''stomato-'' + ''-ology'').〔 In some institutions, it is termed "oral medicine and oral diagnosis".〔 American physician and dentist, Thomas E Bond authored the first book on oral and maxillofacial pathology in 1848, entitled "A Practical Treatise on Dental Medicine".〔〔 The term "oral medicine" was not used again until 1868.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.maxillofacialcenter.com/BondBook/book/Bondbook.html )〕 Jonathan Hutchinson is also considered the father of oral medicine by some.〔 Before becoming its own specialty in the United States, oral medicine was historically once a subset of the specialty of periodontics, with many periodontists achieving board certification in oral medicine as well as periodontics.
