Oral and Maxillofacial Reconstruction Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab develops techniques for diagnosing and treating cleft lip and cleft palate, with the goal of preventing them.
AboutAbout the lab
Treating and preventing congenital conditions of the mouth.
The Oral and Maxillofacial Reconstruction Lab studies techniques for diagnosing and treating congenital oral conditions such as cleft lip and cleft palate.
Cleft lip and cleft palate are the most common congenital malformations that appear on the surface of the body.
The impairment is not limited to the shape of the face; it affects every function of the mouth, including breathing, swallowing, chewing, and speaking.
In addition to developing treatment techniques, the lab conducts clinical and basic research aimed at future prevention.
Key terms
- Cleft lip and cleft palate
- A condition in which the lip or the roof of the mouth (palate) is split from birth. Treatment takes a long time and involves surgery, speech training, and other care.
- Alveolar cleft
- A condition, accompanying cleft lip and cleft palate, in which there is a gap in the bone of the gum area (upper jaw).
- Candidate gene
- A gene chosen for close study because it may be involved in the development of a disease.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops techniques for diagnosing and treating congenital oral anomalies, including cleft lip and cleft palate, and conducts clinical and basic research aimed at future prevention.
*Illustrative imageTreatment That Does Not Hinder Jaw Growth
The lab is developing a treatment system that does not hinder jaw growth by combining jaw correction with a Hotz-type palatal plate from right after birth, two-stage palatoplasty, and alveolar cleft reconstruction using a bone graft from the lower jaw, a technique developed in this lab. It also takes part in research on preventing cleft lip and palate through planned pregnancy with management of environmental factors.
*Illustrative imageSearching for Causative Genes
In accordance with the ethical guidelines for human genome and genetic analysis research, the lab works with specialized institutions in Japan and abroad to search for candidate genes involved in cleft lip, cleft palate, and related conditions.
MembersFaculty
