Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology (PKU-SS) was established in 1941. It began as the dental clinic of the medical college of PKU and eventually evolved into the institution as it is today, a unique combination of education, clinical service, research, and prevention for oral health. It encompasses not only the School itself but also an internationally renowned hospital and research institute. In 2017, PKU-SS ranked at 13th in dentistry in the QS world university rankings.

The ITI Scholarship Center in PKU-SS involves four departments of the School of Dentistry: Department of Prosthodontics, Department of Implantology, Department of Periodontology, and Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. More than 10,000 implants are installed each year.
