Research field introduction

In the “Department of General Dentistry”, we are developing a wide range of research on dental approaches and holistic dental treatment related to lifestyle-related diseases and systemic diseases with the goal of contributing to the maintenance of general health from oral health. Specifically, we are conducting several research themes such as clinical research on oral care effects in perioperative patients, research on oral function improvement for improving ADL in the elderly, research on the etiology of periodontal disease and periodontal disease bacteria, and basic research on oral tissue regeneration.

In the “Division of General Dentistry”, which is a clinical department of Kyushu University Hospital, the concept of dental treatment is the practice of holistic dental care and oral care. We provide comprehensive dental care tailored to the patient’s situation. Our department is one of the main departments in charge of medical and dental cooperation such as perioperative oral function management for inpatients.

In addition, we are mainly in charge of management and guidance of clinical training for dentists with the goal of developing dentists who will lead the future. We provide education as the first step in lifelong training, such as acquisition of dental treatment techniques, attitude as a dental professional, and multidisciplinary / regional cooperation.
