Report from Professor Akira Senda

President IFED
Chairman, IFED 2017, Toyama City
Dear Friends,
Happy New Year! I hope that all colleagues from the IFED member academies are
well and rested. I now relax and take a very short but confortable time off with my
family at my home in Nagoya, Japan.
The IFED Corporate Partner innovation has already got
8 partners from Japan, Korea and USA. IFED wishes to
thank Bisco, Dentrum, GC, J. Morita, Kurarey/Noritake,
Shofu, Tokuyama and Ultradent for their very kind
understanding and contributions
This Newsletter is another memorial evolution in
the IFED. The communications between member
academies have been one of the major concerns in the
organization.. The Newsletter is one method of
sharing news and events. We welcome your
contributions!
As the past president of JAED and the congress
president of the10th IFED World Meeting, I sincerely
apologize having to change the dates and the
locations. We have moved the dates from September
21-24 to September 14- 17 (including JAED Annual
Meeting) and the venue from the International
Meeting Center in Nagoya City to International Meeting Center in Toyama City. Details of
the venue and the meeting will be soon sent you by the host academy, the JAED.
We are gathering to the Swissotel, Chicago next February 26 for the EXCO, GA meetings
and the cocktail party. I look forward to seeing you all!
Akira Senda

MADISON, Wis. (1/15/16) A recent survey of dental professionals

conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD)
reveals that cosmetic procedures continue to bring life to dental practices.
The AACD has conducted the biennial State of the Cosmetic Dentistry
Industry Survey over the last 11 years, and the data collected is used to
determine the size and impact, in terms of procedures and revenues, of the
cosmetic dentistry market. The 2015 State of the Cosmetic Dentistry
Industry survey supports earlier data that the field of cosmetic dentistry
continues to flourish and show persistent growth potential.
