In addition to its close relation to eating, the field of maxillofacial surgery and stomatology provides opportunities to visually detect pathological conditions. Therefore, the development of effective therapies and cosmetic products is an important aim in this field. Furthermore, the oral cavity is a gateway for infection, and it has become clear that oral hygiene is closely related to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as postoperative complications following head and neck surgery and gastrointestinal surgery.
This field specializes in providing routine oral surgical procedures (e.g., wisdom tooth extraction, the removal of cysts and benign tumors, and tooth replantation and autotransplantation), including the treatment of jaw deformities with the main purpose of "occlusal reconstruction," oral and maxillofacial trauma, and cleft lip and palate as well as dental implantation. In particular, treating jaw deformities requires a variety of techniques, including mandibular and maxillary osteotomy, which are common procedures, as well as partial maxillary and mandibular osteotomy, mandibular body osteotomy, genioplasty, and maxillary distraction osteogenesis. These diverse procedures enable us to provide customized treatment according to the specific condition.
Keeping in mind that we are dentists before we are oral surgeons, we strive to train dentists who fully consider the overall condition of patients in order to provide high-quality medical care, starting with how they treat patients, and who can provide useful diagnoses and treatments for oral and maxillofacial surgery diseases. Furthermore, we aim to develop world-class human resources by utilizing our domestic and international networks to provide students with experience in clinical and research studies.
Our primary objective is to effectively utilize regenerative medicine. Our ongoing basic and clinical research is focused on three-dimensional bone regeneration and periodontal tissue regeneration, concentrating on dental pulp stem cells, central nervous system stem cells, and adipose-derived stem cells. In addition to multi-center collaborative research with prominent regenerative medicine researchers in Japan, we engage in basic and clinical research internationally with the University of Frankfurt, Cornell University, the University of Connecticut, and Huaqiao University. We are also working on the development of specific clinical studies.

Research initiatives encompass basic research, clinical research, and specific clinical research . Aiming to advance regenerative medicine, our work is focused on three-dimensional bone and cartilage regeneration and periodontal tissue regeneration based on research on dental pulp stem cells, central nervous system stem cells, and adipose-derived stem cells. Alongside multi-center collaborative research with prominent regenerative medicine researchers in Japan, we also engage in basic and clinical research internationally with institutions such as Frankfurt University, Cornell University, the University of Connecticut, and Huaqiao University to cultivate a global perspective among young researchers and the ability to actively contribute on an international scale.
