Summary/Abstract: Dental terminology represents a particular discourse of medical terminology of which importance records the evolution and cultural development of the human being. The appearance of terminology in the field of dentistry develops within the terminology of general medicine, so Romanian terms are replaced by terms from the French language starting from the 20th century, while the last decades are under the influence of the English language. The theoretical basis of terminology determines the introduction of new terms into the specialized language with special attention to the efficient communication of specialists and speakers of a language. Terminologists and linguists such as Maria Teresa Cabré, Alain Rey, Angela Bidu-Vrănceanu, Mariana Flaișer, etc. represent some of the well-known names whose research is the foundation of this topic. The current status of dental research shows a low interest in specialized terminology, but it is a first step for its study and development. The researchers' articles represent a scientific foundation for the specialized dental language of this paper.
