At 15:00 on October 28th, the Department of Stomatology of Luzhong Hospital of Peking University Medical Center was crowded.
In this regard, in the small universe of stomatology, Wang Lin, who has been exploring for 15 years, has long been accustomed to it, especially after being promoted to deputy chief physician in 2019.
"It's a whole new starting point." He said.
Gentle, humble and self-motivated, this is Wang Lin's first feeling.
"Many times, he is like a cup of warm white, tepid, but can give people the most comfortable temperature." This is an evaluation from Wang Lin's colleagues.
However, only he himself understands that there is a fire hidden in his heart, and more than countless people are looking forward to the arrival of "tomorrow".
"Make good use of each moment to continue to learn, continue to improve, and constantly improve yourself, in order to relieve the pain of more patients as soon as possible, this is my original intention." Wang Lin wore a mask when he said this, but what he conveyed in his eyes was a rather warm perseverance.
<b>"More than just dentistry"</b>
"Many people have cognitive limitations on stomatology and think that stomatology is simply dentistry." Wang Lin said.
In fact, the department of stomatology in a general hospital is not as simple as "dentistry" as most people think.
Wang Lin said that the department of stomatology is also divided into oral internal medicine, maxillofacial surgery, oral prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral implants, etc., while maxillofacial surgery is mainly responsible for maxillofacial infections, trauma, fractures and tumors and other diseases.
"From the base of the skull down to the neck, except for the eyes and ear, nose and throat, the rest of the parts are under the responsibility of our oral and maxillofacial surgery department." He said.
Due to the existence of incomplete cognition of stomatology in society, the outside world often labels dentists as "low risk factor" and "comfortable". Wang Lin did not agree with this.
"The risk of simply treating teeth, such as dental implants, fillings, etc., is relatively low. But when it comes to surgery, tooth extraction and invasive operations, there will be certain risks..." Wang Lin told Qilu Evening News Qilu One Point reporter that the most common diseases in maxillofacial surgery are facial space infection, trauma, fractures, tumors and so on.
In addition, jaw cysts, parotid cysts, thyroid-tongue cysts, cleft lip and palate, and diseases of the parotid glands, submandibular glands, and sublingual glands are all within the scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, and the above conditions require invasive surgery with certain risks.
And this part is Wang Lin's domain.
Tooth extraction is not terrible, but the abnormal symptoms after tooth extraction cannot be ignored. Wang Lin said that there are not many patients who have taken detours, and Li Lei is one of them.
The 60-year-old has been experiencing restricted opening after a tooth extraction and has been treated with antibiotics for postoperative infections. However, after several days of treatment, everything still did not improve.
Therefore, Li Lei came to the Department of Stomatology of Luzhong Hospital of Peking University Medical College.
After film examination, it was found that it was not a postoperative infection problem, but a tumor in the mandible at the tooth extraction site, and it invaded the patient's masticatory muscles and required surgical removal.
In this regard, Li Lei, who has multiple concerns, has been hesitant to undergo surgery.
Through the patient communication and relief of Wang Lin and her team, Li Lei, who finally chose surgery, quickly relieved his pain.
Moreover, after the operation, not only did it not affect his eating, but also maintained the beauty of his face, which greatly guaranteed Wang Lei's quality of life.
"A lot of people think that tumor problems have nothing to do with the mouth, but this is not the case." Wang Lin said that malignant tumors may occur in the lips, tongue, cheeks and gums, and there are not a few patients with tongue cancer and gum cancer.
"Early detection, early treatment." The vast majority of tumor patients wait until the problem is serious, often missing the best time for treatment. Wang Lin said.
<b>Go new</b>
For Wang Lin, 2012 was a year of rapid growth and profound significance.
That year, Wang Lin came to Qilu Hospital of Shandong University to study oral and maxillofacial surgery and dental implant technology.
In just one year, it is not only a watershed for Wang Lin's rapid growth, but also a solid foundation for him to lead the Department of Stomatology of Peking University Medical Luzhong Hospital to achieve leapfrog development.
New technology, new development, new journey.
Since Wang Lin returned to Peking University Medical Luzhong Hospital at the end of her studies in 2013, the stomatology department of the hospital can not only independently carry out routine surgery of maxillofacial surgery, but also continuously make new technological breakthroughs in oral implants.
In the Department of Stomatology, Wang Lin is the vanguard. This has been reached at Peking University Medical Luzhong Hospital.
"As long as we can bring convenience to patients, our efforts are worth it." Wang Lin said.
There was once a patient who suffered from periodontal disease in his early 40s, his teeth gradually loosened and fell out, he could not chew, and he could only eat liquid food every day.
In traditional treatment, this situation requires full tooth extraction, and then wait for the 3-month gum bed to recover before proceeding to the next step of repair.
However, for the 3-month period of toothlessness, many patients cannot accept it.
As a result, Wang Lin and her team adopted a new technology of "immediate repair and immediate repair", helping patients realize that it takes only one day from tooth extraction, implant implantation, and denture wearing.
Wang Lin introduced that this kind of instant implant full denture is a new technology. Unlike traditional movable dentures, it is combined with the alveolar bone through an implant (artificial root), which is highly close to the patient's original sense of use of the teeth, fixed in the user's mouth, and does not contradict the chewing function in daily life.
"We introduce new technologies and new projects to continuously improve the strength of the department in order to give patients a better treatment and medical experience." Wang Lin said.
Data from the hospital's department of stomatology show that in terms of oral implants, Linzi District has 300-500 implants in the hospital's stomatology department every year.
<b>Non-stop</b>
After 15 years of medical experience, Wang Lin believes that her biggest change is that her inner harvest is full, calm and precipitated, and her enthusiasm is undiminished.
"Serving patients wholeheartedly." Wang Lin said that for so many years, he only did this "small thing" seriously and attentively.
However, he also regretted that perhaps because of the work relationship, he spent very little time with his parents and family, "Now my daughter who is in junior high school, although she is well-behaved and sensible, can understand the nature of my work, but still feels guilty." ”
"If I had a vacation, I would take my wife and daughter with me to visit my parents." Wang Lin said that at this time, her eyes were gentle.
Referring to the biggest changes in oral medicine in recent years, Wang Lin said that in the general environment, the oral cavity is getting more and more attention, and more and more people have higher requirements for oral health care.
"Concepts are changing, medical technology is changing, and I have no reason to go behind." Wang Lin said.
As a member of the Periodontal Committee of the Shandong Stomatological Association and a standing director of the Zibo Stomatology Association, Wang Lin has conducted academic communication and exchanges with experts from various dental committees all year round. During this period, new technologies, new theories and new directions for the development of disciplines were the focus of their attention.
Wang Lin also told the Qilu Evening News Qilu One Point reporter that the Department of Stomatology of Peking University Medical Luzhong Hospital, as a member of the Maxillofacial Surgery Specialist Alliance of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, can communicate with experts in the industry in a timely manner if encountering difficult diseases, and if necessary, experts can be invited to the hospital for consultation and surgery.
"Constantly improve yourself and relieve the pain of patients." Wang Lin said that this is his original intention.
The original heart is hot, the future is clear.
In the eyes of outsiders, the small stomatology is an endless universe for Wang Lin.
He said that in the future, he will continue to take the posture of a pioneer, maintain his original intention, carry love, and rush to the bright and infinite mountains and seas...
