explained at the orientation.
IV. Period of Enrollment
However, with respect to the period of study at school, if a student is recognized
as someone who has achieved an excellent research result in accordance withrules established separately by the Graduate School Committee, then a student
need only study for one year or longer for Master’s Course, for three years or
longer for Doctoral Course.
Under some circumstances, such as the student being employed, the Graduate
School Council of this Graduate School might grant permission to take an
educational program over a planned, fixed period that exceeds the standard
course term (two years for the Master’s Course, four years for the Doctoral
Course) upon request. Those enrolling under this system are called "Long-term
Course Students," and must pay the total tuition fees equal to those paid by
students who complete their studies within normal year limits.
In principle, students are required to apply for the long-term course student
system at the time of enrollment, but students are allowed to apply for a change
during their enrollment when unavoidable circumstances are acknowledged.
Unavoidable circumstances might include changes in work conditions becauseof orders from an employer, etc. First, the possibility of a leave of absence isconsidered, and only when there is no prospect of completing the course in thenormal course format even after a leave of absence has been approved after
individual examination. For relevant details, please contact the Educational
Affairs Section.

3. About foreign student dentistry clinical inspection simulation training
In this graduate course, I perform dentistry clinical inspection simulation
training for a foreign student. Since it is very useful training in order that thismay study basic dentistry, the foreign student needs to participate at any cost.
Although this training carries out a summer closure period mainly, since it
carries out also during the winter closure when it can never participate,participate in either at any cost.
In addition, I connect a concrete schedule each time.

4. Joint Lectures
I. Immune Regulation and Oral Immunity (joint lecture)
The Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry is promoting "Interface
Oral Health Science" as the next step in dentistry. One area of this research is
the host/parasite interface; our program, focused on the Oral Biology course, is
one of the most advanced area in Japan.
The oral immune response is crucial to understanding biological defenses, andinflammations of the salivary glands and oral mucosa caused by irregularities in
the immune response have a large impact on the patient's quality of life. This
course addresses their regulation and control.
This University has a basic agreement with the National Center for Global
Health and Medicine (http://www.imcj.go.jp/rese/top/index.html) through which itis promoting understanding and control of oral diseases related to immune
response, and planning the joint course in Immune Regulation and Oral
Immunity (syllabus TBD) taught by researchers from this institute in order tofoster highly specialized professionals.
II. Geriatric Oral Science (joint lecture)
Due to the aging of the Japanese population, research and education aimed atbuilding a foundation for serving the elderly has become critical. However,currently universities have not adequately established groundwork for researchin geriatric sciences, let alone in geriatric oral science. In response to thesetrends in Japanese society, the creation of a foundation for geriatric oral scienceand the fostering of professionals capable of creating and applying knowledge inthis field are pressing issues.
This University has a basic agreement with the National Center for Geriatrics
and Gerontology (http://www.nils.go.jp/) through which it is promoting geriatricoral science research, and planning the joint course in "Geriatric Oral Science"(syllabus TBD) taught by researchers from this institute in order to foster highly
specialized professionals.
III. Quantum Biology and Molecular Imaging Educational course
This course is a joint venture of the graduate schools of medicine, dentistry,
pharmaceutical science and engineering. It is based in the Tohoku University
Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center, and National Institute of Radiological
Sciences. Backed by a track record of research results, the course aims to foster
molecular imaging researchers through an interdisciplinary education andresearch system. The Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry is engaged
in research on molecular imaging in the field of dentistry, and is striving to create
researchers and medical professionals capable of utilizing PET. Master andDoctoral Students belonging to the School of Medicine, Graduate School of
Dentistry, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, or School of Engineering
can take this course.
IV. Tumor specialized dentist course
Since it contributes to local cancer medical treatment, it is a course aiming at
training the dentist (oral surgeon) well versed in the diagnosis and the cure forcancer of the mouth.
