Abstract: This paper has briefly analyzed the publication status of Chinese 
stomatology papers in 2009 with statistics from Journal Citation Reports (R) 
provided by Thomson Scientific. Only those papers with the first author coming 
from the mainland of China were included for calculations. We have found,a 
significant increase in the number of SCIE-indexed papers, most of which were 
published by six dental institutions in China. Among all Chinese medical 
institutions, West China School of Stomatology Sichuan University is the first 
dental institution to enter the top-20 list with the most publications, and it also 
ranks the 9th in the number of outstanding articles. West China School of 
Stomatology Sichuan University and the Forth Military Medical University are 
the only two dental institutions in China which have published SCIE-indexed 
papers over a hundred. The former has published the most SCIE-indexed 
stomatology papers, while the latter has the highest average impact factor. As 
the laboratories and funds in China have close connections with various dental 
hospitals, the pratice of translational medicine in dentistry is fast and fluent.
