Educational Goal

Students will thoroughly master basic and specialized knowledge on biomaterials. We develop the ability to analyze problems from a high point of view, set challenges, and resolve them by leveraging own expertise.

Research Contents

  • Significance and biological evaluation of biomaterials in dental care
  • Attempt to regenerate the jawbone using stem cells
  • Regeneration of dental enamel using YAG laser
  • Protein interaction analysis using mass spectrometry

Features of this major / Prospects following course completion

We offer an environment for autonomous and active research so that students can acquire the ability to think logically based on facts through research.

One can apply the knowledge and experience learned in clinical practice as a dentist, such as oral implants and regenerative dentistry using biomaterials. In addition, one can contribute to the development of new dental medicine, by offering education as a person who is familiar with the latest fields of dental medicine, or by bravely pioneering new research fields as researchers, such as researches on interactions between living organisms and biomaterials and cutting-edge researches in regenerative medicine using stem cells, including iPS cells and ES cells.
