While performing EMAT (Electro-Magnetic Apical Treatment) on patients, we are also conducting joint research with domestic and international universities and other specialized institutions.
The treatment that I want to have done = "Treatment that can save natural teeth without extracting them" is " EMAT (Electro-Magnetic Apical Treatment)," a treatment that I invented in 2006 after continuing to challenge the limits of dental treatment.
The treatment has now been published in papers both in Japan and abroad, and its therapeutic effects are recognized around the world.
