Abstract: Professor Wang is the first academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences in the field of stomatology. He has made great achievement in the salivary gland diseases diagnosis and treatment, as well as tooth functional restoration. It mainly includes:1) discovering nitrate transporter Sialin (SLC17A5), elucidating the molecular mechanism of high concentration nitrate in parotid gland, and demonstrating the new important physiological and clinical functions of nitrate in gastrointestinal and other organs protection; 2) establishing a new classification and treatment guideline for chronic inflammatory parotid gland diseases; 3) developing "dental pulp mesenchymal stem cell injection" as a new drug of stem cells and advancing forward the concept of "bio-root regeneration"; and 4) discovering mammalian tooth replacement mechanism. These scientific breakthroughs are of great significance to the oral functional preservation and restoration. Many achievements have been recorded in international academic monographs, textbooks, invited reviews and national textbooks.

Key words: physiological function of salivary gland and nitrate, chronic inflammatory disease of parotid gland, allogeneic stem cells mediate tissue regeneration and therapy, bio-root, teeth replacement and development
