Results

We conduct diagnosis and treatment for oral and maxillofacial areas. We mainly conduct oral surgery treatment and have cooperation with other hospitals for general dental diseases. There are many cases where we conduct treatment with a base in organic coordination with related departments for patients with complications, utilizing our quality as a general hospital.

We have a wide variety of targeted illnesses such as tumors (malignant/ benign), injuries, inflammations, cysts, salivary gland disease, temporomandibular joint disease (TMJ disease), congenital anomalies and jaw deformities. Multimodality therapies centered on surgical treatments are conducted for oral malignant tumors. For extended operations, we conduct immediate reconstructions of free tissue transfers. For advanced cancers, a synergistic treatment is conducted with the palliative care department/ward. Small operations such as pulling out impacted teeth and cystectomy are frequent outpatient treatments along with implants and Preprosthetic Oral Surgeries. As a base hospital for cancer, we conduct oral management (surgery/maintenance) for patients going through blood stem cell transplants and chemotherapy, who have been requested by our internal medicine, pediatric, surgical or breast center departments.
