I would like to take this opportunity to greet you all.<br> <img src="img/blank.gif" width="16" height="9" />The disease structure of our country has changed dramatically with a low birth rate and an aging population, and the healthcare system faces the major challenges of how to care for precious newborn life and how to ensure healthy living among those enjoying an extended life span, in other words, the extension of a healthy life span.<br> <img src="img/blank.gif" width="16" height="9" />The JPS has taken the advance of the aging of society as an opportunity to bring about a society of good health and longevity with the slogan  Extension of healthy life expectancy<br> by Occlusion and Mastication. At the 129 th Academic Congress, we planned a symposium entitled  Extension of healthy life expectancy by improving eating power: Mission of<br> Prosthodontics, focusing on a role of the prosthodontic treatment as a pre-emptive medical treatment for those requiring support and nursing care. This year, we will also start a new<br> challenge with the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society to demonstrate the role of the restoration of masticatory function by means of prosthodontic treatment in the prevention of<br> dementia.<br> <img src="img/blank.gif" width="16" height="9" />Regarding the change in the industrial structure, our country appears to be entering a Fourth Industrial Revolution with IoT, big data, AI, robots, etc. From this perspective, dental<br> care has steadily progressed through the use of digital technology, which is represented by the insurance coverage of CAD/CAM crowns and the widespread use of digital impressions<br> and digital X-rays. However, in reality, we have currently completed the Second Industrial Revolution, and the Third Industrial Revolution is underway. As previously mentioned,<br> however, image and morphology digital data have been automatically accumulated in the form of  high-quality input linked to the medical record, and the foundation for building the<br> Big Data for using AI is already in place. In the future, the healthcare system is expected to change to a  Precision Medicine model, within which AI will play a pivotal role. It is the<br> major strength of our field that we have had such a foundation, and I hope to use this foundation strategically by incorporating the wisdom of the JPS.<br> <img src="img/blank.gif" width="16" height="9" />Of course, we will enhance our services for JPS members through academic congresses, academic journals, and various committee activities, including providing up-to-date<br> academic information, supporting academic and clinical activities, and providing career pathways for dental specialists. In particular, we are planning  summer camps and  hands-<br> on activities, as well as  meet the expert opportunities for junior members. Please look forward to them. The executive office will also address the long-standing issue of<br> advertising disclosure for prosthodontic specialists.<br> <img src="img/blank.gif" width="16" height="9" />Although it will be for a short period of two years, I hope to have your understanding and<br> support.<br> </p> <p align="left" style='font-size:14px;line-height:2;'><br> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </div><!-- /#main --> <div id="sidebar"> <aside class="banner"> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jpr" target="_blank"> <img src="files/files_570.jpg" alt="JPR" title="JPR" width="250" height="48" border="0" /></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.editorialmanager.com/jpr/default.aspx" target="_blank"> <img src="img/member/bnr-05.png" alt="Submission for Journal of Prosthodontic Research" title="Submission for Journal of Prosthodontic Research" width="250" height="48" /></a></li> </ul> </aside> </div><!-- /#sidebar --> </div><!-- /#content --> <div id="site-footer-wrap"> <footer id="site-footer"> <div id="footer-nav"> <ul> <br><li><a href="#">LINK</a></li> </ul> <ul> <!------------------------------> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="en_new_top_futter.js"></script> <!------------------------------> </ul> </div> </footer><!-- /#site-footer --> </div> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/vendor/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"><\/script>')</script> <script src="js/vendor/selectivizr-min.js"></script> <script src="js/scrolltopcontrol.js"></script> <script src="js/queryTabs.js"></script> <script src="js/main.js"></script> <script> /* ;(function(windows, $) { var document = window.document; $(document).ready(function() { $('div#tabArea01').queryTabs({ form: 'image' }); }); }(this, jQuery)); */ </script> <!------¢0¯0»0¹0ã‰g-------> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
