Comprehensive Treatment Department

The Department of General Dentistry of Peking University Hospital of Stomatology was established in 1991. It is the “Institute for Postgraduate Clinical Dental Education and Research” jointly founded by our hospital, Meikai University, and Asahi University in Japan. It integrates outpatient medical care, clinical research, and postgraduate education, and encompasses the professional disciplines of conservative dentistry and endodontics, periodontology, oral surgery, prosthodontics, implantology, and comprehensive dentistry. Standardization, professionalism, and comprehensiveness are the department’s medical principles, and the department comprises a team of physicians with extensive clinical and teaching experience, including multiple doctors with intermediate and senior professional titles. The department is equipped with advanced specialized equipment and sophisticated medical technology. Its concentration of multiple specialties enables in-department consultations and referrals, providing patients with more convenient and efficient options for seeking medical care. The department has 24 comprehensive treatment chairs and receives more than 200 domestic and international patients each day.

The Department of General Dentistry operates evening outpatient services throughout the year, continuing to provide diagnosis and treatment for common oral diseases after the end of regular outpatient hours. On July 1, 2009, the Special Medical Services Department was established, with a comprehensive appointment system. The specialists providing consultations hold associate senior professional titles or above, and offer patients comprehensive treatment plans and high-quality diagnostic and treatment services. Since April 2014, the “Comprehensive Dentistry Service” has been established to provide patient-centered one-stop diagnosis and treatment as well as personalized oral health guidance.

The Department of General Dentistry has established a distinctive teaching system for advanced-study trainees. Since its establishment, it has trained more than 300 dentists for primary-level medical institutions, each with specialized expertise as well as comprehensive diagnostic and treatment capabilities. Since 2012, it has served as a standardized residency training base in Beijing. In addition, continuing education courses are held every year to promote modern concepts of general dental diagnosis and treatment and provide training in practical techniques.

The department conducts multiple clinical and basic research projects. To date, it has published more than 20 SCI-indexed papers and over 100 papers in Chinese core journals, and has received funding for 3 projects from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, as well as funding for dozens of research projects from municipal, university, and hospital-level research funds.
