School of Dentistry Introduction The National Taiwan University School of Dentistry was the former dental unit of the Taipei Imperial University affiliated hospital founded in 1910. After Taiwan’s retrocession to the Chinese government, the first chairman of the dental school, Dr. Shui Kuo initially served as the professor of the Medical College in dental sciences and the attending doctor of the Department of Dentistry of National Taiwan University Hospital. In 1953, the National Taiwan University Department of Dentistry was formally founded as university-based dental school, the first chairman of the Department of Dentistry was Dr. Shui Kuo, and it began admitting students in 1955. Throughout years of contribution by Dr. Shui Kuo, Dr. Yu-Ching Hong, Dr. Kun-Chee Chen, Dr. Hsoeh-Wan Kwan, Dr. Liang-Jiunn Hahn, Dr. Chi-Chuan Hsieh, Dr. Wan-Hong Lan, Dr. Chun-Pin Lin and other faculty staff, “Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences” was first established in 1988 to offer graduate courses for master’s degree. Subsequently, Ph.D., courses were added in 1991. In 1996, “Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences” became “Graduate Institute of Clinical Dentistry,” and in 2001, a part-time master program was added exclusively for dentists who desire advanced education. In 1996, the dental school received authorization to commence graduate courses in oral biology. The Graduate Institute of Oral Biology became the third unit of dental science. On June 14th, 2008, School of Dentistry was established after passing the 2nd University Affairs Meeting of the second semester of 2007 academic year, and Prof. Chun-Pin Lin initially served as the dean of the School of Dentistry. Organization The school of Dentistry contains one department and two graduate institutes: Department of Dentistry, Graduate Institute of Clinical Dentistry and Graduate Institute of Oral Biology. The clinical training area: National Taiwan University Hospital Department of Dentistry, including nine divisions: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Diagnosis, General Dentistry, Endodontics, Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry, Prosthodontics, Periodontics, Orthodontic and Dentistry Orthopedic and Pediatric Dentistry. Research The school of Dentistry has several research teams: Oral Biomedical Material and Nanotechnology Research Team, New Oral Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Research Team, Immunohistochemistry and Photodynamic Therapy Research Team, Oral Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Biocompatibility Research Team, Stem Cell Regeneration Team and Orthodontic and Dentofacial Research Team. Facilities There are computer rooms, an audio-video rooms, two dental laboratories, an oral pathology laboratory, an oral embryology and histology laboratory, two lecture rooms for teaching purposes, and four conference rooms for teaching purposes and seminars. Research laboratories include laboratories for hard tissue study, craniofacial growth and development, periodontics, oral pathology, oral histology, material science, oral physiology, endodontics, stem all tissue regeneration and biometirial development, molecular biology, oral bioilogy, oral microbiology, immunology, and laser study. All clinical lab courses are arranged exclusively for the student in the student laboratory. Students have their own equipment and are given enough space to learn on their own. Besides the self-teaching simulation system “DentSim,” which has already been introduced in our school, the most advanced implant surgery education system in the world will be introduced. Therefore, our students will be able to enjoy the most developed equipment on par with the top overseas dental schools. Academic Exchange and Collaboration The School of Dentistry has established academic collaborative agreements with the School of Dentistry of Columbia University, School of Dental Medicine of University of Pennsylvania, and Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Every summer, dental students are selected to study in Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan, and University of Southern California in USA, University of Otego in New Zealand Tokyo Medical and Dental University in Japan, and Ludwing-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich in Germany. In addition, School of Dentistry offers clinical electives for international dental students from University of Sydney in Australia, University of Otago in New Zealand, Boston University and Columbia University in USA, University of Manchester and King’s College London in UK, and so on. Furthermore, international dentistry conferences are held, scholars or experts are invited to give speeches, and faculties are selected to visit other school of dentistry overseas to enhance the internationalization and upgrade the education, research and service of dentistry. Vision As the world economy focuses more and more on techniques and knowledge, the development of the School of Dentistry at the National Taiwan University will focus on integrate all division resources to extend our main research and clinical medical area. We plan to cross the barriers of compartmentalization to establish a joint cooperation that would greatly enhance the strength and basis of biomedical technology development of School of Dentistry, National Taiwan University. At the same time, opening a channel for corporate and academic communication by route of Innovation Incubator will greatly increase the success of corporate and academic cooperation that would financially benefit both aspects. On the topic of clinical service, we base our teachings on the fundamental of “Total Patient Care,” enabling us to provide the most advanced clinical service. Aside from enhancing the overall strength of the School of Dentistry at the National Taiwan University, the “Dental education and research center in Asia” also aims to promote international communication. We set our purpose on becoming the center of research and health care provider. In addition to designing thorough plans for research training, we will also invite prominent researchers in the dental field to visit our school. Meanwhile, we stress the importance of clinical care, which will help promote the credibility and prominence of dental care at School of Dentistry worldwide.
