ResearchResearch themes
Making use of its position as a dentistry and oral surgery department within the medical school of a comprehensive university, the department conducts a variety of research centered on oral tumors, dentofacial deformities, temporomandibular disorders, cleft lip and palate, and dental implants (artificial tooth roots). It also took up implants and regenerative medicine early on.

In the field of bone regeneration, the department has conducted clinical research ahead of the rest of Japan. It has a track record in regenerative medicine using bone marrow stem cells and growth factors derived from stem cells.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of genetic abnormalities in oral cancer
Using cancer genomic panel test data from patients in Japan registered in the Center for Cancer Genomics and Advanced Therapeutics (C-CAT), the department investigates genetic changes characteristic of oral squamous cell carcinoma and mucosal melanoma.
