If you're a stomatologist, you study stomas! Duh! But in layman's terms, what does a stomatologist study?

In Greek, the word "stoma" is a Greek word meaning 'mouth' or 'opening'. It's actually where the word "stomach" comes from. Stomatologists study oral health and properties. Essentially, it's just a fancier word for the "dentist," so next time someone asks you if you're afraid of going to the dentist, you can say "No way, I'm no stomatology-phobe."
