Japan Academy of Esthetic Dentistry is composed of dentists, dental technicians, and dental hygienists, as well as individuals and groups related to dentistry. It is an interdisciplinary academy established for studying basic and clinical esthetic dentistry and for promoting esthetic dentistry.

The Academy was started as a study group in April 1988, and the name was changed to its present name after two academic meetings. The 1st Congress of Japan Academy of Esthetic Dentistry was held in November 1990.

We have now over 3500 members as of the end of March 2010.

The Academy is now a member of International Federation of Esthetic Dentistry （IFED） and Asian Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry （AAAD）.

A sisterhood agreement was concluded in 2007 with Korean Academy of Esthetic Dentistry, and we have signed the agreement with AACD in last April.

We are hoping to have our mutual exchanges among the member countries of AAAD and IFED, as well.

We publish both “Esthetic Dentistry” and a newsletter twice a year, and offer the latest information on our website at http://www.jdshinbi.net/ in both Japanese and English.

We would like to brief a couple of our schedules, for your interest and information as below:

1. The 21st Annual Meeting: August 28th and 29th, 2010. Appi in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture
2. The 22nd Annual Meeting: October 8th and 9th, 2011. Nara in Nara Prefecture
3. Congress: July 21st and 22nd, 2012. Sapporo, Hokkaido

Note: This Congress will be held together with the 12th Meeting of Asian Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry
Being appointed as a new Chairman in April this year I, Toru Sato is very much appreciated your utmost cooperation and assistance to make our organization more useful and beneficial one to all of us for the years to come.

Thank you.
Sincerely yours,

Toru Sato
