Division for Oral Dental Informatics

The goal of the Medical Information Office is to encourage residents to have a strong interest in dental health by engaging with this hospital and act to maintain and improve it.
For that, firstly it is essential to fully understand your own oral environment.
In our office, it goes without saying that we always provide accurate, prompt and effective information to hospital staff at all times, and we also want to contribute to clinical research and new technology development.
Through these efforts, in the near future, we would like to start the trial one step ahead to contribute to the improvement of the quality and quantity of dental health such as continuous observation of the oral health environment of the residents and predicting the disease individually.
