Greetings
Message from the President of JADT and AADT
There are three Academic Associations in the field of dental traumatology in the world: International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT), Japan Association of Dental Traumatology (JADT) and Asian International Association of Dental Traumatology. They respectively expand clinical assessment based on the basic and clinical sciences from education, research work and clinical permeance.
Due to the world increased infection of COVID-19, on other hand, the 10th Conference of AADT, 2023 which had been scheduled to be held in India was unfortunately and suddenly forced to change to a form of the paper presentation at Okayama University, Japan. It goes till now on a rampage in the world. The 11th Conference of AADT 2025, therefore, was decided to be held in the form of the paper presentation on the special issue of AADT organized by Prof. Toru Yanagawa, Tsukuba University, Ibaraki, Japan. Although it will be basically analogous to that in Okayama University 2023, please pay attention to the information from Prof, Yanagawa for the actual way of paper presentation in detail such as the format.
Finaly, I wish to do “SCIECE” of Dental traumatology by discussing through the proceeding in the program as you look at in this booklet. Several awards by competition will be prepared and I would say to you “good luck”.
I eagerly hope the early end of COVID-19 to enjoy meeting together and discussing dental traumatology with you all.
Thank you
Mitsutaka Kimura, DDS, Ph.D
President, Japan Association of Dental Traumatology
President, Asian International Association of Dental Traumatology
From the president of 11th AADT
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic and continuing geopolitical risks, and for the safety of our members, The 11th Conference of Asian International Association of Dental Traumatology will once again be held in Tsukuba, Japan.
The purpose of AADT is to advance and develop the treatment of oral trauma and to improve the knowledge of its members through the promotion of medical practice and research. In recent years, academic activities have been stagnant due to COVID-19, and although COVID-19 infection has gradually disappeared, I feel that there is still a great deal of mental burden as a healthcare professional with regard to the risk of infection. However, we are holding this conference in the hope of providing as much information as possible on trauma dentistry.
Since the conference president is a Dual Degree Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who is board certified as both a medical doctor and a dentist, the theme of this year's conference focused on the biological side reactions that accompany traumatic injuries.
I hope that this conference will provide participants with an opportunity to consider trauma dentistry from a new perspective, and I would like to extend my greetings from the president of this conference.
