What does odontology mean

[measqu]

I'm hoping someone out there can help me understand what odontology means. I've heard the word used before, but I'm not sure what it actually means. Could someone please explain it to me? I'd really appreciate it! I'm interested in learning more about it and how it's related to other areas of study. Any insight into the topic would be greatly appreciated.
