Self-introduction
I'm a dentist. My specialty is to do denture and dental esthetic treatments. The present research theme is a study on an application of organic and inorganic composite antimicrobial agent to dental materials. For the first time in Japan, we developed an antimicrobial tissue conditioning material to release a medicine to oral cavity and treat denture bearing mucous membrane. We aim for the antimicrobial products to contribute to oral health and infection prevention of the people.
