Endodontology and Periodontology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies how periodontal and endodontic diseases develop and how regenerative therapy can treat them.
AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling oral inflammation to lead to regenerative therapy
The lab studies two chronic inflammatory conditions: periodontal disease, one of the two major infectious diseases of the oral cavity, and endodontic disease, which is caused by infection of the pulp/dentin complex.
The lab aims to clarify how these diseases develop and progress, and to develop regenerative therapies for periodontal tissue and for the pulp and dentin.
The lab is in charge of the Periodontics Clinic and the Endodontics Clinic in the dental division of Tohoku University Hospital, and conducts clinical research and clinical trials alongside treatment.
The lab belongs to the Department of Ecological Dentistry.
Key terms
- Periodontal disease
- One of the two major infectious diseases of the oral cavity. It is a chronic inflammation caused by bacterial infection, and it has become clear in recent years that it affects systemic health in various ways.
- Endodontic disease
- A disease caused by infection of the pulp/dentin complex. It refers to pulpal disease and apical periodontal disease.
- Pulp/dentin complex
- A term that refers as a single unit to the dental pulp, the tissue inside the tooth, and the dentin, the hard tissue surrounding it.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab targets periodontal disease and endodontic disease, which are chronic inflammations of the oral cavity, and aims to clarify how they develop and progress and to develop regenerative therapies for periodontal tissue and for the pulp and dentin. Main research themes include molecular biological analysis of the pathology of periodontal disease, periodontal tissue regenerative medicine, development of methods for diagnosing disease conditions, and development of biomaterials through micro-precision fabrication.

*Illustrative imageOral infection and systemic health
It has become clear in recent years that bacterial infection in the oral cavity and the resulting inflammation affect systemic health in various ways. The lab also researches the development of diagnosis and treatment based on disease mechanisms, and the regeneration of periodontal tissue, which consists of both hard and soft tissues.
*Illustrative imageClinical research on periodontal and endodontic diseases
The lab is in charge of the Periodontics Clinic and the Endodontics Clinic in the dental division of Tohoku University Hospital, and provides treatment for periodontal and endodontic diseases, including advanced medical care. It also conducts numerous clinical studies and clinical trials.
