About Dr. Ling Junqi
Professor Ling Junqi is Honorary President of the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, former President of the hospital and Director of the Institute of Stomatology. He has devoted more than forty years to cariology and endodontics, founding the hospital's endodontic department and establishing a new model of diagnosis and treatment. He edited Microscopic Endodontics, China's first monograph on microscopic root canal treatment, and led national guidelines and expert consensus on regenerative endodontic procedures. He serves as Chair of the Society of Cariology and Endodontics of the Chinese Stomatological Association, has published over four hundred papers, and received the State Council Special Allowance and the title National Famous Doctor.

Dr. Ling Junqi ’s Three Key Areas of Expertise
Three areas of focused expertise, each supported by a deep subspecialty team, high case volumes and an English-speaking care pathway coordinated by Orisene.
Microscopic root canal treatment
Professor Ling performs microscopic root canal treatment for pulpitis, apical periodontitis and complex root canal anatomy, using dental operating microscopes and rotary nickel-titanium instruments to locate missed canals, remove infection and preserve natural teeth for patients with difficult endodontic disease in routine clinical practice.
Regenerative endodontics
He provides regenerative endodontic procedures for traumatised immature permanent teeth with pulp necrosis, combining careful disinfection, blood clot or scaffold-based approaches to regenerate vital tissue, restore root development and preserve the function of these young teeth in children and adolescents.
Caries and pulp disease
He diagnoses and treats dental caries, pulp exposure and periapical disease, applying minimally invasive caries removal, vital pulp therapy and microsurgical endodontics to relieve pain, prevent complications and retain teeth for these patients across all age groups in routine practice.

Selected cases, research & publications
Representative work drawn from documented clinical treatments, publicly indexed literature, and hospital project records, reflecting the depth of this physician's hands-on expertise and academic rigor.
1. Microscopic Root Canal Therapy for Complex Endodontic Infections
For patients with severe tooth pain, periapical lesions or failed root canal treatment, microscopic endodontic therapy offers precise cleaning and sealing of infected canals. Professor Ling Junqi pioneered microscopic endodontics in China, using magnification, ultrasonic irrigation and three-dimensional obturation to save teeth that might otherwise need extraction.
2. Regenerative Endodontic Procedures for Immature Permanent Teeth
When a young permanent tooth suffers pulp necrosis after trauma or deep caries, regenerative endodontic procedures can revitalize the root and promote continued development. As corresponding author of the national expert consensus, Ling Junqi guides evidence-based protocols for immature teeth, offering patients an alternative to traditional apexification.

3. microRNA-424 and Dental Pulp Regeneration
Patients researching pulp regeneration and dental pulp stem cell therapy may benefit from basic research on microRNAs. This study shows that miR-424 negatively regulates endothelial differentiation of human dental pulp cells, suggesting that inhibiting miR-424 could promote angiogenesis and support pulp repair after endodontic infection.

4. Intracanal Medicaments for Root Canal Disinfection
This review, with Ling Junqi as corresponding author, summarises current intracanal medicaments such as calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine and antibiotic pastes, and discusses new antibacterial agents for infected root canals. It helps clinicians choose effective disinfection to treat pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis and prevent reinfection.
5. Editorial Leadership in Stomatological Research
Ling Junqi serves on the editorial leadership of the Chinese Journal of Stomatological Research (Electronic Edition), promoting clinical and translational research. For patients and clinicians seeking trustworthy information on endodontic infection control and evidence-based dentistry, such academic stewardship supports reliable treatment standards.

6. Dental Pulp Cell Angiogenesis Study (Article Record)
This article record documents the miR-424 study from Sun Yat-sen University, describing how inhibiting miR-424 promoted endothelial differentiation and vascular marker expression in dental pulp cells. It supports translational research aimed at regenerating pulp tissue and improving outcomes for teeth with deep caries or pulpitis.

Why patients travel to China for treatment
Six reasons international patients now put China on their shortlist — from internationally aligned clinical capability to the policy channels that make treatment here genuinely reachable.
Clinical capability at international standard
Chinese hospitals deliver internationally aligned protocols, performing vast volumes of advanced robotic, minimally invasive, and complex transplant surgeries annually. This massive clinical data and highly specialized workforce ensure world-class outcomes, even for rare and complex cases.
Diagnostics and treatment in days, not months
A full medical workup that typically means months of waiting elsewhere is completed in China within 48–72 hours. Imaging, labs, and multidisciplinary consultations are integrated into a single visit, allowing treatment to commence immediately.
Transparent, itemised pricing
Chinese healthcare offers legally binding, itemised cost estimates before treatment begins, eliminating hidden fees or surprise billing. Due to national centralized procurement, total expenses remain 40–70% lower than comparable care in Western Europe or North America.
Policy channels that open the door
China facilitates access through 240-hour visa-free transit and dedicated medical visa routes. Policies like the Greater Bay Area drug pathway and Boao Lecheng’s pilot zone allow designated hospitals to administer innovative therapies not yet globally approved.
