It is another reason for them to stay with their dentist when changes of their bene t plan or personal residence might cause then to change dentists. Also, it is a convenient attribute for a patient to point out when referring other new patients. For this to work ICD Fellows must let their patients and their communities know they have been awarded fellowship in the ICD. The ICD certi cate must be displayed. Fellows should use ICD information and the ICD logo in their communications and social media initiatives. Display the award-winning Globe annual journal in your waiting room.

The Journal of 2013 International College of Dentists Japan Section will be published. We are now considered to be in an era of excess dentists, and at the same time, we are entering an unprecedented time of the aging of society. Keeping in mind both the progress and possibilities of dentistry skills, and the change in needs of dental treatment which is expected from patients, we use the theme of “Dental treatment 20 years from now” for this issue of the magazine.
