The
Faculty of Dentistry was founded
in 1967 as an independent body,
superseding the Department of
Dentistry and Oral Surgery (founded
in 1922) of the Faculty of Medicine.
The original Faculty of Dentistry
was reorganized in April 2000
into three separate units consisting
of the Faculty of Dental Science,
the Graduate School of Dental
Science and the School of Dentistry.
The Faculty
of Dental Science contains the
Department of Dental Science,
which consists of four major divisions
and two subsidiary divisions.
These major divisions are comprised
of the Division of Oral Biological
Sciences; the Division of Oral
Health, Growth and Development;
the Division of Oral Rehabilitation;
and the Division of Maxillofacial
Diagnostic and Surgical Science.
The subsidiary divisions contain
the Division of Oral Biological
Response Research with a visiting
professor from abroad and the
Division of Oral Health, Technology
and Epidemiology with two professors
invited from off-campus.
The Graduate
School of Dental Science prepares
graduate students for a Ph.D.
It contains the Department of
Dental Science consisting of seven
divisions. All the teaching staff
and one affiliated division in
the Department of Dentistry, University
Hospital, are responsible for
instruction at the Graduate School
of Dental Science. Students from
abroad are enrolling in this program
in increasing numbers. The curriculum
at the Graduate School leads to
a Ph.D. in Dental Science and
Clinical |
|
Dental Science, or Doctor
of Science. In addition
to high-level research performance
(as required in traditional
Ph.D. programs), the Ph.D.
in Clinical Dental Science
also includes clinical peformance
as a prerequisite. In this
respect, it is the only
officially approved program
of this type in Japan.
The School
of Dentistry is responsible
for undergraduate dental
education, which is provided
by selected teaching staff
from the Faculty of Dental
Science. It contains the
Department of Dentistry
consisting of Introductory
Dentistry, Basic Dental
Science, Oral Disease and
Pathology, Oral Health Science,
and Clinical Dentistry.
The undergraduate course
aims to help students acquire
both knowledge and skills
required for independent
practice, while also encouraging
those interested in pursuing
academic careers. |
