Department of Comprehensive Oral Health Engineering provides the knowledge and skills of the figurative arts, design, and the health welfare for oral health engineering students.

1) The fabrication of facial prostheses using three dimensional rapid manufacturing method
2) Clinical studies of treatments for patients with maxillofacial defects
3) Development of materials for facial prostheses

The first grade oral health engineering students participate in the tutorial lessons of general knowledge of oral health and specialists, and are introduced to clinical dentistry visiting the hospital clinics, dental technical laboratory, and dental material corporation. Scientific English was provided to learn basic dental terms. The second grade students attend lectures of health promotion, the tutorial lessons of general knowledge of oral and health promotion, Japanese and world dental technic situations, and statistic data analysis. Process device engineering was provided the outlines of 3D CAD/CAM/CAE, especially about 3D printer. The third grade students attend lectures and clinical laboratories to acquire a broad range of general knowledge and skills of a wide variety of maxillofacial defects, cleft lip and palate, oral appliances to support masticatory, swallowing and speech, and involvement of treatment procedures, by means of the high-advanced dental and medical cares. Scientific English II provides to read some English papers about prosthodontics.

The goal of the education program in Comprehensive Oral Health Engineering is to provide the knowledge and skills of the figurative arts, design, and the health welfare for oral health engineering students.

In the Maxillofacial Prosthetic Clinic, I treat patients with cleft lip and/or palate, maxillary defect, mandibular defect, tongue defect, and facial defect, to improve their masticatory and swallowing functions, speech, and esthetic problems with the Maxillofacial Prosthetic staffs in the University Dental Hospital.
