A measurement lab that uses X-rays to visualize worlds that could not be seen before.

The Quantum Beam Dental Measurement Lab is developing new quantum beam (mainly X-ray) imaging technologies that visualize worlds that could not be seen before. The lab aims to establish a foundation for new dental knowledge and to return it to society and put it into practical use. Its main research themes include developing X-ray phase-contrast imaging methods, developing X-ray elastography methods that visualize elastic modulus at high resolution, and developing new X-ray image analysis methods and CT reconstruction methods. The lab is listed as a cooperating department of the Graduate School of Dentistry.

A joint research lab that develops next-generation dental devices.

The Next-Generation Dental Materials Engineering Joint Research Lab aims to realize a healthy, long-lived society through research and development of next-generation dental devices that contribute to oral healthcare. The lab is a joint research lab with GC Corporation. With the keywords "painless treatment," "highly aesthetic oral appearance," and "oral healthcare for older adults," it brings new technologies into the field of dentistry and aims for their clinical application. The lab investigates the physical and engineering properties and the biological safety of materials used in devices that reconstruct missing teeth and bone. It also develops test methods for assessing long-term durability in the oral environment.

A lab that researches and develops dental disinfection technologies using radicals generated by light.

The Advanced Free Radical Control Joint Research Lab studies how to apply the disinfecting action of reactive oxygen species generated by light to dental treatment. The lab researches disinfection technologies that shine light on hydrogen peroxide, a disinfectant, or on polyphenols found in plants to generate hydroxyl radicals. Using this technology, the lab developed a periodontal disease treatment device and demonstrated its efficacy and safety in an investigator-initiated clinical trial. The lab also evaluates materials for prosthetic devices made with dental CAD/CAM technology.
