Abstract: PURPOSE: To construct clinical practice system, making up for the shortcomings in the instructional framework of oral histology and pathology, promoting the integration of theory and clinical practice, and enhancing teaching quality of long-term students of stomatology. METHODS: Laying down clinical practice plans and formulating technical operation criteria for pathological experiments, constructing a complete database and training high-level teachers, and evaluating through the following three aspects: practice assessment, teacher-student symposium and questionnaire survey. RESULTS: After completing the clinical practice, the students got the average score of 89.37. In questionnaire survey, the students generally expressed that they had a better understanding of the specialized characteristics and routine skills of the speciality, and improved their practical ability, thus stimulating their interest in self-directed learning. CONCLUSIONS: The construction and practice of clinical practice system of oral histology and pathology can effectively improve the educational objectives and teaching quality of this discipline, which will play a positive role in scientific research and future medical work of long-term students majoring in stomatology.
