카다이 하타 교수의 연구실은 노화와 관련된 구강기능의 전반적인 영향을 중심으로, 특히 치아 잔존,咬合(물림) 기능, 삼킴 기능 등과 노령기의 신체적 기능 저하(근육량 감소, 보행 속도 저하) 및 인지 기능 저하 간의 연관성을 탐구하고 있습니다. 특히 후방咬合 지지의 유무가 인지 기능 저하와 보행 속도 저하를 예측하는 독립적 요인으로 작용할 수 있음을 규명하며, 치과적 요법이 노화의 전반적 건강에 미치는 영향을 과학적으로 입증하고자 합니다. 이는 노화 예방 및 노인 건강 증진을 위한 다학제적 접근의 핵심입니다.

Relationships may exist between aspects of oral health and sarcopenia or its diagnostic factors. However, reports showing associations between oral health and sarcopenia are scarce, and definitive conclusions could not be drawn. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to confirm these relationships.
The present findings suggest that a lack of posterior occlusal support predicted the incidence of cognitive decline, even after adjusting for possible risk factors in community-dwelling old-old people. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 1439-1446.
Number of teeth and occlusal force predict cognitive decline over 3 subsequent years in Japanese older adults aged 70 and 80 years.
Grip strength and walking speed are considered to be important indicators of physical frailty. However, no study has contemporaneously examined any association of multiple oral functions with grip strength and walking speed. The purpose of this study was to examine which oral functions are associated with muscle strength (grip strength), physical performance (walking speed) or both. The study participants were 511 community-dwelling people (254 men and 257 women) aged 77-81 years old. Six oral f
Lack of posterior occlusal support at baseline independently predicted the incidence of reduced walking speed over 3 years.
Within the limitations of this retrospective cohort study, it was found that implants in free-end edentulous spaces may be beneficial in extending the longevity of adjacent teeth. Further research will be necessary to confirm this finding.
These findings suggest that tongue pressure significantly decreased over time, but occlusal force did not. Tongue-related muscles may be more susceptible to aging than masticatory muscles.
症例の概要：患者は，初診時81歳の女性で，下顎全部床義歯の動揺および咀嚼困難を主訴に来院した．患者の現義歯の状態と，触診や視診による唇頰側粘膜，舌の可動域等を精査し，下顎全部床義歯の床縁位置不良による維持・安定不良を原因とする咀嚼障害と診断した．閉口機能印象を行い，上下顎全部床義歯を製作した．
