Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies pathological diagnosis in the oral region and the mechanisms of disease.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading oral diseases through pathology.
The Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Lab works on pathological diagnosis in the oral region and on research to elucidate human diseases.
In addition to analyzing pathological tissue, the lab performs molecular pathological analysis using animal models of disease and cells.
To raise the level of pathological diagnosis in the oral region and to train specialists, the lab holds joint conferences and training with clinical departments.
The lab was formerly called the Department of Oral Pathology.
Key terms
- Pathological diagnosis
- Examining the tissue of a lesion to determine what disease it is.
- Molecular pathological analysis
- Examining and clarifying the state of a disease at the molecular level.
- Odontogenic tumor
- A type of specific lesion that arises in the oral cavity in association with teeth.
ResearchResearch themes
Pathology is a discipline that clarifies the mechanisms of disease development and pathophysiology and contributes to clinical medicine by developing new treatments and diagnostic methods. In addition to analyzing pathological tissue, the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Lab works on molecular pathological analysis, and also trains specialists who take charge of pathological diagnosis in the oral region.
*Illustrative imageMolecular pathological analysis using disease models
To elucidate human diseases, the lab uses animal models of disease and cells in addition to analyzing pathological tissue. Using methods of morphology, molecular biology, and mouse genetics, it investigates pathology starting at the molecular level.

The lab cooperates with routine pathological examinations and intraoperative rapid pathological examinations at the university hospital's clinical laboratory, and holds joint conferences with oral surgery and radiology. It also receives many consultations on the diagnosis of odontogenic tumors and odontogenic cysts.
