The mouth is a critical part of the body, serving as the channel for nutrition while also being a potential entry point for infections. During hospitalization, oral function and hygiene can deteriorate due to systemic disease and the hospital environment. If left unaddressed, this can lead to reduced food intake, nutritional deficiency, and even infections originating from the mouth. By leveraging the unique strengths of the Science Tokyo Hospital, which integrates both medical and dental professionals, the Oral Health Center collaborates with various hospital departments to support the maintenance and improvement of oral health for hospitalized patients.The Oral Health Center is part of the Division of Integrated Facilities and is staffed by a multidisciplinary team, including specialists in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Periodontics, Geriatric Dentistry, and Special Needs Dentistry, as well as dedicated dental hygienists. The team is committed to promptly addressing oral health issues of hospitalized patients. To prevent postoperative complications associated with general anesthesia, we focus on improving oral hygiene before surgery. After surgery, we continue to monitor for any oral problems and provide appropriate care as needed. Additionally, to prevent oral complications associated with systemic disease treatments, we emphasize early detection and intervention for oral health issues from the pre-treatment stage onwards. If patients experience a decline in their ability to eat or develop oral health issues during hospitalization, we will respond swiftly and appropriately.We place great importance on interdisciplinary collaboration, working closely with various hospital departments and the Department of Nursing to promote oral care. Through these e ff o r t s , w e a i m t o support both oral and o v e r a l l h e a l t h , co n t r i b u t i n g to t h e c o m p r e h e n s i v e w e l l - b e i n g o f o u r patients.本院は「世界最高水準のトータルヘルスケア」を理 念に掲げ、医科（医系診療部門）に入院している患者さんの口の健康を支えるオーラルヘルスセンターを設置しています。口は栄養の入口であると同時に、感染の入口にもなり得る重要な部位です。入院中は全身疾患や入院生活の影響で口腔機能や衛生環境が 悪化しやすく、そのまま放置すると食事摂取の低下や栄養状態の悪化、さらには口腔由来の感染症を引き起こす可能性があります。当センターでは、医系と歯系を有する本大学病院の特性を活かし、医科の各診療科と連携しながら入院中の患者さんの口腔健康の維持・改善をサポートしています。当センターは基盤診療部門に位置し、口腔外科、歯周病、老年歯科、障害者歯科などの専門医と専従の歯科衛生士がチームを組んで活動しています。入院患者さんの口腔内の問題に迅速に対応できる体制を整えています。全身麻酔手術後の合併症予防のため、術前から口腔衛生環境の改善に努めています。また、術後も口腔内のトラブルがないか確認し、必要に応じて適切な対応を行います。さらに、全身疾患の治療に伴う口腔内の合併症を予防するため、治療前や治療初期から口腔問題の早期発見・早期介入を実施しています。入院中に食べる機能が低下した場合や口腔内にトラブルが発生した際には、迅 速かつ適切な対応を行います 。多 職 種 連携 を重 視し 、診 療科や看護部と協力し な がら 、患 者さんの口腔ケアを推進し 、口と 全 身 の健 康を支える取り組みを行っています。
