stomatologiczna

Stomatologiczna is a Polish adjective meaning dental or related to dentistry (stomatology). It is formed from the noun stomatologia, the field of dentistry, with the adjectival suffix -iczny/-iczna, and it agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies. The root stomat- comes from the Greek stoma, meaning mouth, combined with -logia, meaning study.

In practice, the word is used to describe things connected with dentistry. Examples include gabinet stomatologiczny (a dental office), sprzęt stomatologiczny (dental equipment), zabiegi stomatologiczne (dental procedures), and choroby stomatologiczne (dental diseases). When the modifying noun is feminine, the form is stomatologiczna; for masculine nouns it is stomatologiczny; and for neuter nouns or plural forms it is stomatologiczne.

Synonyms in some contexts include dentystyczny, though stomatologiczny is the more formal, medically oriented term. The word is common in medical literature, regulatory language, and everyday Polish when referring to dentistry or dental care. The overarching field is stomatologia, the branch of medicine dealing with the mouth, teeth, and their diseases; professionals include stomatolodzy (dentists). Dental care settings include the gabinet stomatologiczny and klinika stomatologiczna.
