The University of Hong Kong’s Dentistry has been ranked No. 2 in the world, according to the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022. It marks the 5th time that HKU Dentistry has been ranked among the top 2 globally, which so far, no other institution in the world has achieved previously.
Professor Thomas Flemmig, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, is delighted to learn about the latest ranking of HKU Dentistry. He said that it is a testament to academic excellence led by a shared vision of being the global leader in oral health science, education, and professional care, and driven by a team of dedicated and talented staff and students.
Professor Flemmig stressed that this remarkable success would not have been possible without the stimulating and supportive environment at the University of Hong Kong and the invaluable support of the members of the Prince Philip Dental Hospital. He said: “This outstanding accomplishment comes at a challenging time where many of us may look for good news to lift our spirits. This achievement will help us to look beyond the difficulties we are facing and remind us that it is in our hands to create the future.” He remarked that the Faculty is the only institution in Hong Kong that provides undergraduate and postgraduate dental degrees and has educated essentially all of the dentists and dental specialists working in Hong Kong today.
This year, the Faculty is celebrating its 40th Anniversary. Within just four decades, the Faculty has risen from humble beginnings to one of the most premier dental institutions in the world. The Faculty recently established an Institute for Advanced Dentistry as a centre of excellence for the treatment of advanced and complex oral conditions. It also provides postgraduate education and fosters innovation and translational research.

國際高等教育機構QS剛公布的「2022世界大學學科排名」，香港大學（港大）的牙醫學科獲評為全球第二名。此乃港大牙醫學院第五次獲評全球首二名，至目前爲止，沒有其他學府獲此成就。
牙醫學院院長傅立明教授感到非常欣喜，認爲最新的排名是學院卓越學術地位的最佳印證。此成就有賴一班敬業和優秀的教職員和學生，他們有著作為口腔健康科學、教育和專業牙科護理全球領導者的共同願景。傅立明教授強調，港大一直以來支持學院的發展，為教學與研究工作提供具啟發性的氛圍環境，以及菲臘牙科醫院同僚的支持，對學院的成功至爲關鍵。「在目前充滿挑戰的時刻，大家都期望有好消息振奮人心，學院得獲此非凡成就，這將有助我們超越困難、放眼向前，提醒我們未來其實掌握在自己手中。」傅立明教授說。
牙醫學院今年慶祝40周年，於短短數十年間便發展成為世界級的牙醫學府。香港大學牙醫學院乃全港唯一一所提供本科及碩士課程的牙醫學院。目前在香港工作的普通科和專科牙醫，幾乎都曾在學院接受教育和培訓。學院最近成立「先進牙醫學研究所」，處理複雜和嚴重的口腔疾病個案，並提供牙醫碩士培訓，以及促進研究創新和轉化。
