Restorative Dentistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab for restorative and conservative dentistry that studies materials and treatments for repairing teeth so they last a long time.
AboutAbout the lab
Restoring teeth so they last longer.
The Restorative Dentistry Lab takes "restoration" as its main theme and aims to repair the tissues related to teeth so that teeth can be preserved for a long time.
While continuing clinical care and education in restorative dentistry, the lab has worked on developing new dental materials and treatment techniques.
The lab plans to combine dental regenerative research with biomaterials research to develop next-generation dental materials that have the ability to regenerate tissue.
The lab carries out research jointly with a variety of labs in Japan and overseas.
Key terms
- Periodontal tissue
- The tissues around a tooth that support it, including the gums, the periodontal ligament, and the supporting bone
- Biomimetics
- An approach that imitates the structures and mechanisms of living things to create new materials and technologies
- MI (Minimal Intervention)
- An approach that keeps the burden of treatment, such as the amount of tooth structure removed, as small as possible

ResearchResearch themes
With "restoration" as its main theme, the lab pursues the repair of tissues related to teeth through a range of research, aiming to keep teeth for a long time. Its research covers periodontal tissue regeneration, restorative materials, treatment that does not require cutting teeth, and even the effects of oral care products.

Using biomimetics technology that applies iPS cells, the lab is developing nanofiber membranes that repair and regenerate damaged periodontal tissue.
Developing Restorative Materials and Evaluating Their Performance
In collaboration with various labs in Japan and overseas, the lab develops new materials for restorative treatment and evaluates the performance of a variety of materials.
*Illustrative imageBridges Without Cutting Teeth
This is research on restorative treatment based on MI (minimal intervention). Using digital scanning and 3D printing, the lab studies ways to efficiently make bridges that do not require cutting teeth (direct bridges).
*Illustrative imageMouthwash Ingredients and COVID-19
The lab tests whether cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), an ingredient in toothpaste and mouthwash, suppresses infection with the novel coronavirus, and is developing new preventive methods that use CPC.
