About the Scholarship Center
The Institute of Science Tokyo was established on October 1, 2024, through the merger of Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). Founded in 1928, TMDU was Tokyo’s only national university and one of Japan’s oldest dental schools. The Faculty of Dentistry emphasizes holistic care, scientific inquiry, and problem-solving from an international perspective, collaborating with over 50 universities worldwide. In 2024, it achieved top rankings, including first place in Japan and fourth globally in the QS World University Rankings.
The ITI Center at the Institute of Science Tokyo offers a unique program for scholars, featuring rotations through three departments: Regenerative and Reconstructive Dental Medicine, Periodontology, and Gerodontology. This rotational system provides a comprehensive understanding of implant dentistry from multiple perspectives. In the Department of Regenerative and Reconstructive Dental Medicine, scholars learn prosthetically driven implant planning, bone and soft tissue augmentation techniques, and advanced procedures like full mouth reconstruction such as bone anchored bridge and All-on-4 etc. The Department of Periodontology focuses on managing biological and aesthetic complications related to dental implants, while the Department of Gerodontology addresses implant treatments for older patients with systemic conditions and advanced technologies such as digital dentures and its processing.
The program includes lectures, practical training, seminars, workshops, literature reviews and clinical courses, encouraging participation in national and international congresses. Scholars engage in diverse research areas, including hard and soft tissue regeneration, implant protocols, biomaterials, and digital workflows, collaborating with faculty members. The Institute of Science Tokyo is globally recognized for its impactful research and offers a dynamic environment where scholars build professional and personal networks, fostering future research collaborations. This comprehensive program ensures scholars are well-equipped in education, research, and clinical practice.
