The aim of this study is to reveal the comprehensive mechanisms of the microcirculatory function in periodontal pathophysiology, including mechanical stimulation, the immune system, bacterial environment and neurogenic inflammation. The physical mechanisms are directly or indirectly applicable to periodontal health. The aim of this study is to reveal the profound effect of lifestyle on oral disease including caries and periodontal disease. The epidemiological results are applicable in the assessment of oral health and oral-health promotion. The aim of this study is to advance the application of information technology to evidence-based medicine in dentistry.
Dental informatics is the science and the art of preventing oral disease and promoting oral health.
The discipline includes such topics as measurement of oral disease activity, demonstrating the effects of various treatment approaches on patient outcome, and management of comprehensive clinical databases. Active sites of salivary proline-rich protein for binding to Porpyromonas gingivalis fimbriae. Effect of mechanical tooth brush stimulation on gingival microcirculatory functions in inflamed gingiva of dogs.
