It combines clinical care, teaching and research, provides undergraduate teaching in periodontology and oral mucosal diseases and master's training, and is a standardized residency training base. The hospital describes it as one of Heilongjiang's earlier departments dedicated to periodontal disease, with experience treating periodontitis. Services include supragingival scaling, subgingival scaling and periodontal surgery such as mucogingival procedures, crown lengthening and gingivoplasty, helping prepare patients for restorative and orthodontic care. Oral mucosal disease is another focus. The team consults on difficult cases from primary hospitals, assists treatment and trains personnel. It has established standardized diagnostic and treatment procedures, combining local and systemic medication, drug treatment and physical therapy, and, for certain patients, psychological intervention with clinical medication. The hospital describes nationally advanced care for common oral mucosal conditions such as oral lichen planus, oral leukoplakia or erythroplakia, discoid lupus erythematosus, oral ulcers, specific mucosal infections, bullous diseases, burning mouth syndrome, allergic stomatitis and lip and tongue diseases, as well as complex cases. The hospital reports that the team's clinical skills and professional ethics have earned patient recognition.
