Oral Diagnosis and Medicine Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that diagnoses oral diseases by looking at the whole body, aiming for treatment that does not rely too heavily on surgery.
AboutAbout the lab
Diagnosing from the whole body, not just the mouth
The Oral Diagnosis and Medicine Lab is a department of oral medicine and oral surgery that diagnoses and treats oral diseases using the approaches of diagnostics and internal medicine.
It was the first department at a Japanese national university to put forward oral medicine as its field, and it diagnoses not only diseases confined to the mouth but also oral symptoms of systemic diseases.
The lab strives for minimal surgery through early detection, and for internal-medicine treatment aimed at preserving organs.
Building on knowledge gained in the clinic, it conducts basic and clinical research, and also aims to put the results into practical use as new medical technologies and drugs.
