Our department focuses on periodontology, endodontics, their therapeutics and close relationship between oral infectious diseases, such as periodontal disease, and systemic health condition. The aims of our work are to preserve teeth and to maintain oral functions, which lead to promote systemic health, by understanding and controlling oral bacterial infections. In order to contribute to the improvement of QOL, our department has been developing various clinical and basic research, including elucidation of the etiology and pathology of periodontitis, development of novel clinical technologies for diagnosis, prevention, suppression of disease progression and disease control as well as epidemiological study. Moreover, our educational and clinical tasks are to train dentists who will be responsible for the next generation in the field of periodontal and endodontic treatments, and to provide safe, secure, high-quality specialized treatment and advanced medical care.
