Уважаемые коллеги, какой термин лучше использовать при переводе названия специальности в советском дипломе (врач-стоматолог) и при переводе предметов в приложении к этому диплому (н-р, ортопедическая стоматология): dentist/stomatologist, dentistry/stomatology, dental/stomatological? The translation is needed in the U.S.
Thank you in advance!

И соответственно dentistry/ dental…однажды в разговоре использовала stomatology - собеседник, по образованию врач, с легким недоумением поинтересовался, что это значит. Больше так не перевожу. :-))

Dentist


Explanation:
Dentist/dentistry/etc is FAR more common in the US. The only time I'd consider 'stomatologist' is if the target audience is pretty much exclusively medical.

Explanation:
I agree with all suggestions. However there is a difference in RF and other former republics according to this:

http://mirslovarei.com/content_bes/Dantist-17201.html
Дантист - (франц. dentiste - от лат. dens - зуб), зубной врач, зубной техник(главным образом без специального зубоврачебного образования).

В России стоматолог - это обязательно врач, а дантист - может быть и техник со средним образованием. В медучилище, которое я закончила (много лет тому назад) было отделение "зуботехническое"ю
