This paper analyzes the founder's experience in dentistry and in the two schools he founded at the beginning, focusing on the background and process of the schools' construction, management, teaching, teachers and students training, etc. The results show that the establishment of the first two dental schools have laid important foundation for the establishment and development of Shanghai Dental College by the reserve of trained professional teachers and accumulated valuable experience in running schools.

近代中国牙医师先后创办8所牙医学院校,其中3所由本土成长起来的牙医师司徒博(1889—1976年)发起,并且唯有其创建的上海牙医专科学校发展到中华人民共和国成立后。目前缺少对司徒博所建牙科学校的系统研究。本文通过史料挖掘,将创办者从事牙医经历与其最初创办的两所院校的发展相结合,重点分析学校建设背景和经过,以及学校管理、教学、师资和学生培养等情况。结果显示,前两所牙医学院创办过程中培养了专业力量并积累了宝贵的办学经验,期间虽然遇到困难,但人才储备和经验积累为上海牙医专科学校的创建打下了基础。梳理这部分历史有助于从不同角度再现近代中国本土成长起来的牙医师为促进牙医学教育所付出的努力,更好地理解我国早期牙医学发展的历程。.
