In the Department of Oral Devices and Materials, we focus on two main themes:

1. The development of devices for evaluating the oral environment and oral functions, and 2. The development of novel dental materials. For both themes, we aim for proactive social implementation.

(1) Development of Devices for Evaluating the Oral Environment and Oral Functions
1-1 Development of devices capable of evaluating oral functions, such as oral hypofunction
1-2 Development of devices capable of assessing occlusal force and masticatory ability

(2) Development of Novel Dental Materials
2-1 Pioneering research on dental ceramics and zirconia
2-2 Research on dental polymer materials
2-3 Research on bioactive materials
2-4 Clinical research on novel dental materials
2-5 Simulation analysis related to novel dental materials and dental treatment techniques
