分子・再生歯科補綴学分野

分野の紹介

 当分野は、教育ではクラウン・ブリッジ補綴学を担当しています。学部教育では、歯科医療のデジタル化の流れに沿った実践的な授業を行うとともに、歯科医学教育を充実させるべく、歯を切削する技能の客観的評価方法やシミュレーションシステムの確立に取り組んでいます。
 診療室(東北大学病院・咬合修復科)ではクラウンやブリッジ、インプラントなどの固定性補綴装置を用いた治療を専門としています。審美性の回復を目的としたクラウン・ブリッジ治療に対する当分野の診療・研究の歴史は長く、近年ではデジタル歯科医療を積極的に導入し、CAD/CAMシステムを用いたメタルフリー歯冠修復治療を専門にしています。同時に、Minimal Interventionの概念に基づく接着ブリッジ、短縮歯列、インプラント補綴治療を実践しています。一方、積極的な感染除去を基本とした歯周補綴治療を実践し、重度の歯周病患者に対する歯周インプラント補綴、短縮歯列による機能回復など、高い専門性を要する治療を手掛けています。これらの専門治療を基本に、患者様の高い満足が得られる診療に努めています。
 研究面で我々が目指すのは、補綴歯科治療を分子レベルで生物学的および材料学的に理解することです。この理解を基盤にして、歯を失うことによって損なわれたQOLを回復し、これを維持していくために必要となる技術を、従来の歯科補綴学のみならず再生医学にも求め、エビデンスをもって追求していきます。当教室では、新規インプラント材料の開発や幹細胞を応用した顎骨あるいは歯の再生医療技術の開発、時計遺伝子に着目したオルガノイド研究や、歯周組織再生を促す新規タンパク質製剤の開発に取り組んでいます。また、CAD/CAM法を用いたメタルフリー歯冠修復治療や歯科金属アレルギーについて、基礎研究と臨床研究の双方から臨床に直結するエビデンスを集積しています。
