The Institute of Oral Basic Research was established in May2014and has beenundertakingthe training task of master's degree and doctor's degreestudentsin oral basic medicine.After 5 years of construction and development, the Institute of Oral Basic Research has gradually formed a clear guiding ideology and ideas for discipline construction, integrating a professional system of teaching and scientific research. It hasformeda multi-disciplinary and multi-level application-oriented talent training mode.We always adhere to education-oriented modeandfocus on ability trainingand the quality of talent training, aiming tocultivate high-level talentsto meet the needs of clinical and scientific development of stomatology in China.The Institute of Oral Basic Research has 21 faculty members, 20of whomwith a master's degree or above. There are 4 doctoralsupervisorsand 4 mastersupervisors.After 5 years of construction and development, aproperly structuredteaching team with ahighlevel of academic qualifications has been established. And we have alsoestablished five basic oral courses, including oral anatomy and physiology, tooth dissection and occlusion physiology, oral histopathology, occlusion and bone biologyfor postgraduate and undergraduate students.
