Ecological DentistryOperative Dentistry
Our division is working on research project of regenerative therapy in addition to the education of conservative dentistry including endodontics and operative dentistry. To achieve these purposes, we attempt to develop novel field that integrates conventional conservative dentistry and basic knowledge of regenerative medicine. We are also investigating marfan syndrome which is a incurable connective tissue disease caused by loss of elastic function. Our research group has been developing novel regeneration therapy that recovers tissue elasticity for the dental treatment of marfan syndrome patient. By using these approaches, we aim to organize novel conservative dentistry, which can expand not only for dental field but also for medicine.
