Dental Biomaterials Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab develops and analyzes next-generation dental materials and regenerative technologies.
AboutAbout the lab
From dental materials to regeneration, tissue engineering, and AI.
The Dental Biomaterials Lab researches the development of next-generation dental materials and new regenerative and tissue engineering technologies, as well as the application of computer technology to biomechanics.
Its research is divided into the development of dental materials, the development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine technologies, and biomechanics research on dental materials.
For many of its research themes, the lab also conducts joint research with various universities and research institutes in Japan and abroad, and with dental material manufacturers.
Key terms
- Bioactive material
- A material given the function of acting on living tissue. This lab develops ones with antibacterial properties and tissue regeneration capacity
- Three-dimensional cell aggregate
- A mass of cells gathered together in three dimensions. This lab studies its use in technologies to regenerate bone and dental pulp
- In vitro/in silico
- In vitro refers to experiments performed outside a living organism, and in silico refers to analysis performed on a computer
ResearchResearch themes

For many of these themes, it also conducts joint research with universities, research institutes, and dental material manufacturers in Japan and abroad.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of next-generation advanced dental materials
The lab works on developing bioactive materials with antibacterial properties and tissue regeneration capacity. It is also developing "smart" bioactive materials that respond to the environment or are synchronized with the disease condition.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine technologies
The lab works on developing technologies to regenerate bone and dental pulp using three-dimensional cell aggregates. It is also developing various new materials for tissue regenerative medicine.
*Illustrative imageBiomechanics research on dental materials
The lab works on material design and on applying AI to restorative, prosthodontic, and implant treatment. It also conducts research that evaluates the properties of various dental materials through combined in vitro/in silico analysis.
