Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University: The National Team of Stomatology in South China and an International Benchmark for Dental Care

I. Hospital Overview

Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University is a Grade A tertiary specialized stomatology hospital directly under the National Health Commission. Affiliated with Sun Yat-sen University, it serves as a nationally renowned stomatology center integrating medical services, teaching, research, and prevention. Its origins trace back to the Department of Stomatology established at Sun Yat-sen Medical College in 1954. An affiliated stomatology hospital was founded in 1974, and following the university's restructuring in 2001, it has evolved into one of South China's largest, most comprehensive, and technologically advanced specialized dental hospitals.

The hospital currently operates under a “one hospital, three campuses” structure: the Yuexiu Campus (main campus) is located in the core area of Guangzhou's Yuexiu District; the Panyu Campus (Nansha Campus) serves the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area; and the Zhujiang New Town Outpatient Department provides convenient specialized dental services. The hospital maintains over 300 open beds (including pediatric dental specialty beds), handles over 1.5 million outpatient and emergency visits annually, and performs more than 20,000 surgical procedures per year. It leads South China in complex implantology, orthodontics, and maxillofacial surgery volumes.

The hospital employs over 1,200 staff, including more than 200 senior-level experts. These include dual-appointed academicians, recipients of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, “Changjiang Scholars,” and other top scholars, as well as leading figures such as chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of various professional committees under the Chinese Stomatological Association. Together, they form a premier dental medical team integrating “clinical practice, research, and translation.”

II. Technological Advantages: Pioneering Digital and Precision Medicine to Expand Dental Care Boundaries

Centered on “resolving complex and critical cases while driving disciplinary innovation,” the Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University has established nationally leading technical strengths in implantology, orthodontics, prosthodontics, pediatric dentistry, and maxillofacial surgery:

1. Implantology: The “South China Benchmark” for Digital Precision Implantology

• Annual implant surgeries exceed 8,000 cases, with complex procedures (e.g., full-arch edentulous implants, bone augmentation implants, immediate implants) accounting for over 40% and achieving a success rate exceeding 98%;

• Pioneered “digital guide-assisted implantology” and “dynamic navigation implantology” technologies, integrating CBCT with 3D printing to achieve implant placement accuracy (<0.5mm error);

• Equipped with South China's first clinical application platform for “nanocoating technology on implant surfaces,” boosting osseointegration efficiency by 30%.

2. Orthodontics: A “Pioneering Hub” for Personalized Treatment

• The Orthodontics Department sees over 30,000 patients annually, leading South China in invisible aligner cases (Invisalign, Times Angel, etc.);

• Specialized techniques like “preformed crown restoration for primary teeth” and “early occlusal guidance” have elevated primary tooth preservation rates to over 90%.

4. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: The Stronghold for Complex Procedures

• Annual maxillofacial surgeries exceed 4,000 cases, covering complex jaw fractures, oral and maxillofacial tumors (e.g., parotid tumors, jaw cysts), and cleft lip and palate sequential treatments;

• Mature microsurgical techniques achieve over 95% success rate in free flap transplantation for maxillofacial defect reconstruction;

• Pioneering innovations include “3D-printed jaw model-guided surgery” and “robot-assisted maxillofacial tumor resection.”

5. Oral Restoration and Aesthetics: Achieving the “Perfect Balance” of Function and Beauty

• The Restoration Department offers treatments including all-ceramic crowns, implant-supported dentures, and removable dentures, with particular expertise in “full-mouth occlusal reconstruction” and “anterior aesthetic restoration”;

• Introduces “Digital Smile Design (DSD)” technology to visualize restoration outcomes through computer simulation;

• Establishes a “Dental Material Biocompatibility Assessment” laboratory to ensure long-term safety of restorations.
