AboutAbout the lab
Responsible for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease
The Periodontology Lab is a clinical department responsible for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease (alveolar pyorrhea).
Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria living at the boundary between the teeth and gums, and is a disease in which the periodontal tissue supporting the teeth is gradually lost.
The lab investigates how periodontal disease develops and progresses, and, based on that knowledge, researches and develops new tests, diagnostic methods, and treatments.
Recently, the lab has been developing treatments that regenerate periodontal tissue lost to periodontal disease.
