The Institute of Advanced Dentistry – Multi-Specialty Clinic (IAD-MSC) is proud to host an inauguration ceremony and a lecture to officially unveil the unique dental microphotography artworks of Professor Tiejun Li, now displayed at IAD-MSC and the Prince Philip Dental Hospital (PPDH).
Professor Tiejun Li, a renowned scholar at the School of Stomatology, Peking University, has devoted his career to advancing the field of oral pathology. His artistic journey reveals a different dimension of his expertise – transforming dental microscopic images into stunning visual compositions that highlight the hidden beauty of biological structures and the association between humanity and nature.
Thanks to Professor Li’s generous contribution, selected pieces of his microphotography are now enriching the clinical environments of IAD-MSC and PPDH. The inauguration ceremony, to be held on 21 October 2025, will be officiated by Prof Lijian Jin, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, HKU, with Professor Li as the guest of honour. This event not only celebrates the collaboration but also marks the official unveiling of artworks at IAD-MSC and PPDH that aim to inspire patients, clinicians, and guests with the artistic side of dentistry.

“Art seeks beauty; science pursues truth,” said Professor Li.
Inspired by decades of dedication to dental science and a lifelong fascination with aesthetics, Professor Li’s works offer a poetic lens through which science becomes art. We warmly invite students, clinicians, professionals, and art enthusiasts in the dental field to join this inspiring session – an unmissable opportunity to explore the beauty of science through art.
