Dear Colleagues:
After the San Diego meeting, we, the Japanese Society of Periodontology (JSP) members, are looking forward to having the next joint program with the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP). This time the Japanese Academy of Clinical Periodontology made a big effort to prepare a wonderful joint meeting with the AAP. The JSP is very happy to collaborate with the AAP. Last December when we celebrated the 60th
anniversary of the JSP, the president of the AAP,
Dr. Steven R. Daniel, visited Kyoto where we had the meeting and gave us very positive comments about future collaboration between the JSP and the AAP. As you know, Japan is now a super-aged society and medical doctors have found that treating periodontitis is key to extending a healthy life. Medical doctors are expecting to collaborate with us.
The relations between periodontitis and many systemic diseases have been revealed at the molecular level. Furthermore, basic fibroblast growth factor was authorized by the Japanese government as an effective drug to regenerate periodontal tissue and is now legal to use on patients with periodontitis in Japan. Molecular targeted drug therapies are rapidly expanding in many diseases including chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The patients with severe symptoms of RA may be treated by the administration of monoclonal antibody against inflammatory cytokines. Periodontal treatment is now in the era of molecule. Since the environment around us is changing dramatically and rapidly, we have to be adaptable to the needs and technologies for greater sophistication and diversity of periodontology and periodontics. It is a great opportunity for the exchange of new knowledge and to discuss the latest technology and science at the AAP meeting. The JSP always welcomes and looks forward to having joint meetings with the AAP.
Vancouver is well-known as the most beautiful city in Canada. We are excited about visiting there, attending the meeting, seeing old friends, and making new friends.
See you in Vancouver!
Hidemi Kurihara, DDS, PhD President, Japanese Society of Periodontology
