Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Director UEDA, Minoru (Professor)   6E

Research on regenerative medicine and advanced medicine such as implant treatments

We address the application of advanced medicine including regenerative medicine in dental practice. We accept patients with all oral surgery diseases.

Medical Care System

Both new patients and revisit patients are accepted on weekdays. New patients are accepted until 11:00 a.m. Consultation with a dentist basically requires a prior appointment.

Target Disease

Atrophy and defect of the alveolar bone, oral neoplasia (e.g. gingival cancer, tongue cancer), cleft lip and palate, jaw deformity (e.g. mandibular prognathism, microgenia), temporomandibular arthrosis, cystic disease, injury of the maxillofacial area, impacted tooth, dental treatment requiring systemic management, and other diseases (e.g. perimaxillary inflammation).

Strong Fields

Bone regenerative treatment such as tissue-engineered bone regeneration for atrophy and defects of the alveolar bone, implant treatment for loss of teeth, mandibuloplasty for jaw deformity, and multimodality therapy in which superselective arterial infusion chemotherapy is applied to oral cancer.

Clinical Results

Tissue-engineered bone regeneration in two patients, implant replacement in 31 patients, superselective arterial injection chemotherapy in two patients, surgery for jaw deformity in 95 patients, cleft lip and palate surgery in seven patients, benign tumor in 10 patients, and malignant tumor in 43 patients.

Specialized Outpatient Clinic

Minor oral surgeries such as impacted tooth extraction are conducted on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Implant outpatients are accepted on Thursday afternoons and temporomandibular joint and tumor outpatients are accepted on Fridays. Doctors provide medical care related to his/her specialized field in the morning.

Advanced Medicine and Research

Alveolar bone atrophy requiring bone grafting is treated with implant dentures as advanced medicine. Researches on regenerative medicine such as tissue-engineered bone regeneration using bone marrow stem cells have been aggressively progressed.
