School of Life Dentistry at Tokyo

In 2006, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, the School's facilities were expanded or newly erected, and repairs to the hospital were completed, bringing the School into the twenty-first century.

The School constantly reviews its curriculum to raise the consciousness of its teachers concerning education and to improve the learning effectiveness of its students.

In addition, the clinical department was relocated to the new Centennial Anniversary Building, and in order to encourage mutual cooperation and effectiveness, the closely related department of basic dentistry was moved to the same floor of the building.

In 2007 the School's affiliated hospital was accredited by the Japan Council for Quality Health Care. Of the approximately 9,000 hospitals nationwide, a little more 2,300 have received accreditation, but of those, only two are dental hospitals (as of April 2008). This attests not only to the high level of dental care provided to patients but also to the excellence of the School's clinical training and education program.

Through the strengthening of its educational, research, and clinical program, the School is making every effort to develop dentists that can respond to the needs of society and the nation as a whole.
