Greeting
I am Chiaki Komine, and I have the honor of serving as President of the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Association of Microscopic Dentistry. I am affiliated with the Department of Operative Dentistry at Nihon University School of Dentistry at Matsudo.
This scientific meeting provides a valuable opportunity for all participants—both those considering the incorporation of the microscope into their daily clinical practice and experts who are already utilizing it at an advanced level—to come together and share their knowledge and experiences.
With each passing year, our endeavors continue to evolve, and the advancement of microscopic dentistry shines ever more brightly.
The theme of this year’s meeting is:
“Harmonizing Heart and Microscope: A Journey Toward Empathetic Microscopic Dentistry”
In this meeting, we aim not only to advance the practice of precise treatment and preventive care through the use of microscopes, but also to shed light on areas beyond the microscopic field of view—such as fundamental biomedical knowledge and the essential “heart” at the core of clinical practice. Our hope is to create a forum for discussion that fosters more comprehensive and compassionate healthcare.
The meeting will be held in the Yoyogi–Meiji Jingu area, where nature and history coexist in harmony despite being in the midst of the bustling city. Known as an “oasis in the metropolis,” it will provide a fitting setting for our gathering.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I sincerely look forward to welcoming you there, and I warmly invite your participation in this important event.
