This syllabus is to provide guidelines for students who will take required credits at theGraduate School of Life Dentistry at Niigata, The Nippon Dental University.
1.
2.

Graduate education consists of lectures such as the major subject, associate subjects, othersubjects and research directions for making the dissertation.
The doctoral course normally takes four years to complete, but it must be completed it by
the eighth year. A third year student, who has completed the following requirements (suchas completion of 30 credits and excellent achievements on research) can complete to3.

program before the fourth year.
Each student must select courses and credits under the guidance of the director of the major

4.

subject program. Students must earn 30 credits in total within the registered period.
After obtaining recognition of the director of the major subject program, students must

5.

inform the Director of Dentistry Research, Graduate School of Life Dentistry at Niigata of
their selected lecture subjects.
Upon the discretion of the director of the major subject program, other graduate level
lectures at a different university can be taken and any credits achieved may be approved
for addition up to a maximum of 10 credits.

6.

Under the guidance of the director of the major subject program, students can also obtainnecessary directions for research work at the following places: The Graduate School ofLife Dentistry at Tokyo, The graduate school of a different university and research
institutes.

7.

As completion requirements for the doctoral course, successful candidates should fulfill
the guidelines and must pass an examination of the dissertation and final examination.
The dissertation cannot be submitted to the committee, if the student has not earned 30
credits in total in the appointed major subject.
In accordance with the final examination, the dissertation and its related field of major

8.
9.

subjects will be tested by oral or written examination.
10. In accordance with the regulations of the Graduate School, The Nippon Dental University,a graduate degree (PhD) will be awarded by the Nippon Dental University School of Life
Dentistry at the Niigata graduation ceremony to the successful candidates who havefulfilled the guidelines.

The Radiology Curriculum is evolving and expanding to meet theeducational needs of students. This curriculum has been created under thesupervision of the Director of the Radiology Program with input from the
Department Committee, faculty and students. First students will begin arotation (to receive training of oral and maxillofacial imaging, radiation
therapy, and research activities), during the rotation students will be expectedto acquire adequate knowledge and develop technical skills of oral andmaxillofacial radiology. To evaluate their progress, and at the end of therotation, student’s level of understanding will be measured to identify any
unfulfilled goals that need to be addressed by the resident and the faculty.

The objective is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases throughbetter understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms including etiology andthe developmental processes of diseases, supplemented by the results ofhistopathological research. Specifically, students first acquire the abilities toreview the necessary literature and techniques of experimental pathologicalresearch while also improving their ability of clinical pathological diagnosis,
and then apply these skills to design an original research theme, andimplement and complete the research.
Students attend lectures, receive guidance to search and review many articles,
and learn how to plan the theme of study.
Through practice and training of research techniques, graduate students learn
general staining (H-E), special stainings (immunohistochemical staining),
molecular biology, microfocus X-ray CT images, cell and tissue cultures forstudying the diagnosis and treatment of oral cancers, PCR, etc.
Grading is systematically conducted based on the following: level ofunderstanding of the contents of lectures and practical sessions, originality of
research and state of implementation, written and oral examinations.

Pharmacology investigates the action of drugs and explores how the drugs
act on human beings. In other words, it is the study that investigates the
response of the living body to the drugs. Therefore, it is important tounderstand the pharmacological action of the drugs from the viewpoint ofinteraction of the drugs and the living body. The aim of this class is to study
basic and applied pharmacology on the basis of the physiological function of
the living body.
