The department
The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University is a Grade 3A teaching hospital on Jixi Road in Hefei, Anhui, and its dental service is a full department with sixteen named dentists — a deep roster, with 46 comprehensive dental chairs, three outpatient clinics and 50 inpatient beds behind it. That many names means the subspecialties are genuinely staffed rather than nominally claimed.
What the names tell you
Oral and maxillofacial surgery holds the largest share. Jun Hou directs the Center for Oral Medicine, working in head and neck tumour surgery, defect reconstruction, deformity, trauma and implants, and his deputy Xue Haowei covers tumour surgery and reconstruction. Prosthodontics is deep too — implant-supported restoration, complete dentures, obturator prostheses for jaw defects — and two dentists list microscopic root canal treatment as a specialism in its own right.
Navigation and microscopy
Two items on the equipment list matter. An AccuNavi-A navigation system, in use since 2017, supports digital precision surgery and guided implant placement, including implant cases needing soft and hard tissue augmentation. A root canal operating microscope backs the endodontics, including apical surgery and vital pulp therapy.
