Our department (Dental anesthesiology) is conducting basic research to improve perioperative patient management by using an in vivo model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and the cultured cardiomyocytes of neonatal rat, aiming at clinical application. Our current projects are as follows : 1）Myocardial protection via mTOR : A novel treatment for ischemia reperfusion injury, 2）Role of longevity gene, sirtuin in the cardioprotection by anesthetic preconditioning, 3）Development of preventive and therapeutic methods for periodontal-induced vascular abnormality using genetic scientific method and anesthetic effect. We are also collaborating with Division of Science and Technology on the manufacture and clinical application of a wireless-power-transmission type medical device.

Our Department (Dental Anesthesiology) is engaged in clinical practice, research, and education in order to respond well to the three pillars of anesthesia/sedation, emergency/resuscitation, and pain/palliation. Clinically, in addition to dental treatment under monitoring, using psychiatric sedation, under general anesthesia, and anesthetic/systemic management in the operating theater, we also focus on pain clinic. In terms of education, we train dentists who can perform systemic management, and in terms of research, we conduct a wide range of basic and clinical research centered on the cardiovascular field.
