Implant and Denture Prosthodontics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies prosthodontics, replacing missing teeth and jaw structures with dentures and implants.
AboutAbout the lab
Restoring the ability to chew with dentures and implants.
The Implant and Denture Prosthodontics Lab conducts research and clinical work on prosthodontics, which replaces missing or lost teeth and jawbone with dentures, implants, and other devices.
At the Denture Prosthodontics clinic of Kyushu University Hospital, the lab restores occlusion and masticatory function, improves appearance, and treats temporomandibular disorders.
Its research covers peri-implant soft tissue, bone graft materials, treatments for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, and digital dentistry using intraoral scanners.
On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the name "Department of Implant and Denture Prosthodontics."
Key terms
- Prosthodontics
- Treatment that replaces areas where teeth or jawbone have been lost, using devices such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants.
- Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ)
- Hard-to-heal necrosis of the jawbone that occurs after administration of antiresorptive agents.
- Intraoral scanner
- A device that optically scans the inside of the mouth to obtain data on the shape of the teeth.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates problems related to implant and prosthodontic treatment from the perspectives of materials, tissue, and digital technology. Its work includes experiments using cells and rats, as well as research on digital dentistry using intraoral scanners.
*Illustrative imageNew treatments for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw
The lab is exploring treatments for osteonecrosis of the jaw that occurs after administration of antiresorptive agents. Using a rat model, it examines how healing proceeds when drugs such as statins are administered locally to the necrotic site, and also analyzes the mechanisms of healing.
*Illustrative imageMaking prostheses with digital technology
The lab studies optical impressions taken with intraoral scanners. It is examining whether prostheses can be made accurately even for large defects by combining intraoral and extraoral scans.
*Illustrative imageSoft tissue sealing around implants
For implants to succeed in the long term, the surrounding soft tissue must form a firm seal. The lab examines how well epithelial tissue adheres to titanium with different surface treatments, using cell experiments and animal experiments.
*Illustrative imageBone graft materials and healing of bone and soft tissue
The lab studies how bone graft materials used in bone augmentation procedures affect the healing of bone and the surrounding soft tissue. It compares materials such as carbonate apatite in experiments using rat tooth extraction sockets.
