The translation of dental terminology from English into Uzbek presents a range of linguistic and conceptual challenges due to structural differences between the two languages and the unequal development of specialized medical lexicons. English dental terms are largely derived from Latin and Greek, whereas Uzbek medical terminology combines native lexical elements with international borrowings. This article investigates the major difficulties encountered in translating English dental terms into Uzbek, including semantic non-equivalence, morphological adaptation and terminological inconsistency.
