Operative Dentistry and Endodontology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab conducts research and clinical work in conservative dentistry aimed at preserving natural teeth.
AboutAbout the lab
Dedicated to research and clinical practice focused on preserving teeth.
The lab's basic policy is to cut as little of the tooth as possible, remove as little dental pulp as possible, and extract as few teeth as possible, and it carries out research and clinical work aimed at saving teeth.
As the endodontics clinic of Kyushu University Hospital, the lab specializes in operative dentistry and endodontic treatment, and it performs diagnosis and treatment using equipment such as dental microscopes and cone-beam CT.
In research, work is progressing on three themes: regeneration and formation of the periodontal ligament, protection of the dental pulp, and aging of teeth.
The lab aims to strengthen three abilities, namely diagnostic skill, investigative skill, and technical skill, and to apply them to training young dentists and educating students.
Key terms
- Periodontal ligament
- The tissue between the root of a tooth and the bone that supports it
- Dental pulp
- The tissue inside a tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels
- Bioimplant
- A new type of artificial tooth root that has periodontal ligament tissue
- Endodontic treatment
- Treatment that targets the dental pulp and root canals inside the tooth
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the theme of how long teeth can be preserved. Regeneration and formation of the periodontal ligament, protection of the dental pulp, and aging of teeth are the three major themes currently moving forward.
*Illustrative imageRegeneration and formation of the periodontal ligament
This research aims to preserve teeth whose roots have been largely destroyed by caries or whose roots have fractured. It is also research toward developing a new type of bioimplant that has periodontal ligament tissue.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of materials that protect the dental pulp
The lab develops materials that protect the dental pulp tissue inside the tooth and help maintain so-called vital teeth.
*Illustrative imageResearch on tooth aging
The number of remaining teeth in older adults is increasing, but at the same time tooth fractures are more frequent among older people. To prevent this, the lab studies the aging of teeth.
