Greeting

Nobuo INOUE, DDS, PhD

It is great pleasure that the 2nd Asian Academic Congress and the 24th annual meeting of Japanese society for Temporomandibular Joint will be held in Hiroshima, Japan July 23 and 24, 2011 and we will have outstanding speakers who have excellent achievements in Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) research from Asia/Oceania and USA.

The causes of the temporomandibular disorder are diverse and the occurrence and management in each country are different. So, the theme of ¡°Paradigm shift of TMD diagnosis and treatment¡± will be reflected in the many collaborative sessions that will bring together experts from the different region such as Japan, Korea, China, Turkey, Philippine, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Australia and beyond to discuss common areas of interest, introducing new concepts and research findings as well as share knowledge in areas of difficulty or even failures.

It is the same time an opportunity to strengthen understanding and interdisciplinary cooperation amongst member countries.

We are very pleased to organize and host this event and are determined to provide you with an educational and social occasion that will be remembered for many years to come. We are confident of a memorable congress in all aspects, and we look forward to your concurrence.
