Oral Healthcare Collaboration Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that trains oral healthcare professionals who can be relied on in both ordinary times and emergencies through interprofessional collaboration.
AboutAbout the lab
Becoming oral healthcare professionals people can rely on, in ordinary times and in emergencies.
The lab aims to enhance interprofessional healthcare in which hospitals, clinics, and local residents work together.
It aims to train oral healthcare professionals who are active during disasters as well, and who are trusted by people who say, “If anything happens, we can just ask them, and we'll feel safe.”
The lab holds that, in addition to medicine and dentistry, these professionals need knowledge of pharmacy, nursing, nutrition, and social welfare, and must hone the skills to communicate closely with people in each field.
A program developed jointly with Kumamoto University Hospital, aimed at training professionals from multiple fields for team medical care in disasters, has been selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

The lab studies methods that use artificial intelligence to classify tooth images captured with an intraoral scanner and to record dental findings. The aim is to speed up victim identification using dental records after a major disaster.
*Illustrative imageTaste disorders during cancer treatment
The lab investigates the mechanisms behind taste disorders that occur during cancer treatment. It aims to link its findings to clinical care that supports treatment.
*Illustrative imageEating support for older adults and medical-dental collaboration
