Hübner completed his studies in dentistry at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg and the University of Breslau and received his license to practice medicine in December 1896 . From 1898 to 1900 he worked as an assistant at the Dental Institute of the University of Breslau with Carl Partsch and Wilhelm Sachs , followed by his practice as a dentist in 1901. During this time he completed an accompanying course in natural sciences and obtained his doctorate in 1902. phil. at the University of Freiburg on "New experiments in the field of regeneration and their relationship to adaptation phenomena".

During the First World War , under Carl Partsch, he treated those with jawshot injuries. In 1925 he returned to the since 1924 by Hermann Euler led (1878-1961) Dental Institute back in Wroclaw, where he in the field of comparative anatomy habilitation ( "About prälaktale plants in Cervidengebiß"). This was followed by a period of combined activity in his own practice and as a private lecturer and associate professor (appointed in 1929). In 1935 he refused to join the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). This was followed by SS membership, which suggests a distance from National Socialism . As a supporting member of the SS , he did not have to become active in the NSDAP, but at the same time remained unsuspicious. At the same time, Hübner may have been perceived as “loyal to the regime” at times, because he was appointed conference president of the (synchronized) DGZMK in 1936 by Reich dentist leader Ernst Stuck and honored in 1937 with the Great Medal of the DGZMK. As early as 1937, however, he declared his resignation as an SS sponsoring member and resigned from the management of the conservation department of the university dental clinic.

During the Second World War (1939–1945) he worked with Euler as a consulting dental surgeon at the jaw shot hospital in Wroclaw. In 1945 he was first head of the stomatological department in Hohenwiese (Poland) of a tuberculosis sanatorium of the State Insurance Institute in Silesia, then he went to the Schmiedeberg (Kowary) and Buchwald (Bukowiec) sanatoriums . Since Hübner was not a member of the NSDAP and was considered politically unencumbered, in 1947 he became an associate professor, director of the Greifswald University Dental Clinic and head of the inpatient department. A full professorship followed in 1949/50, followed by an honorary doctorate in 1951.

A year later he died of a " heart death ".

Otto Hübner was the academic teacher of the later dental professors Herbert Greth (1898–1943), Carl-Heinz Fischer (1909–1997), Reinhold Ritter (1903–1987), Karl Jarmer (1898–1983) and Gerd Staegemann (1927–1995) .
