We participated in the Japanese Society of Clinical Periodontology Kyushu Branch Workshop.

On March 5th, the Japanese Society of Clinical Periodontology Kyushu Branch 2nd Branch Education Workshop was held in Fukuoka City, and the Dr. Ichimaru, Dr. Yamaguchi and 4 hygienists participated.
The first half was a lecture by a member of the Japanese Academy of Clinical Periodontology, and it was mainly about regenerative therapy. The importance of brushing teeth and how to use an ultrasonic scaler were easy for young hygienists to understand and were very helpful. In a special lecture by Dr. Atsuo Amano, he talked about etiology of tooth decay and periodontal disease, preventive methods, and scaling and debridement. Dr. Amano also said that cavities cannot be cured by scraping and filling them, and to prevent cavities, 1) fluoride, 2) diet, and 3) brushing.
At our clinic, we provide guidance on the appropriate use of fluoride, tooth brushing methods, and dietary habits to prevent tooth decay according to individual risk and age. Some people were told that they had no choice but to pull out due to severe periodontal disease. Please consult our clinic.

On February 18th, Dr Ichimaru and Dr Yamaguchi attended a Nagasaki University of Dentistry Domon-kai held at Nagasaki University. Dr Ichimaru gave a presentation of “Strategy for stage4 periodontitis”. They graduated from Nagasaki University School of Dentistry. It was held on-site for the first time in a while due to the influence of the COVIT-19. It was a very meaningful meeting as the dentists were able to actively exchange opinions. I would like to continue to participate in the development of my alma mater.

Dr Ichimaru gave a lecture at the Nagasaki University Clinical Training Seminar on January 31. He talked about how to diagnose periodontal disease and surgery, orthodontic, prosthetic based on periodontal treatment for graduate students. We hope that the graduate students were able to learn about our approach to periodontal treatment from the results of our case. We wish you all the best in your future as a dentist.

Dr Ichimaru passed the Saga Diabetes Educator Examination.

In January 2023, the director, Ichimaru, passed the Saga Diabetes Educator examination and was certified. Did you know that diabetes and periodontal disease are closely related? Diabetes is prone to periodontal disease and hastens the deterioration of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease also exacerbates diabetes. However, it is known that thorough periodontal treatment can suppress the aggravation of periodontal disease even in diabetes and improve diabetes. At our clinic, we aim to improve the oral health and physical health of our patients, and we provide specialized dental treatment and comprehensive treatment for all jaws and the whole body. I treat these things as a periodontist and a diabetes treatment instructor.

Director Ichimaru gave a lecture at the 3rd ITI SC Saga/Nagasaki in 2022.

The 3rd ITI SC Saga-Nagasaki 2022 was held in Saga City on Saturday, December 3rd. This time, Ichimaru, director of ITI SC Saga and Nagasaki, and two core members gave lectures. In this lecture, we talked about how to incorporate digital systems in dental treatment and the management of aesthetic treatment along with actual cases. There was also a question and answer session at the meeting, and there were many scenes where the teachers exchanged opinions with each other. In the future, I would like to actively participate in such study groups and connect them to my daily medical treatment.

Director Ichimaru made a presentation at the American Academy of Periodontology.

Director Ichimaru made a presentation at the 108th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Periodontology held in Arizona, USA from October 27th to 30th. This time, we talked about the treatment for the disease around the implant that we are doing at our clinic. Peri-implant disease can lead to implant loss. In addition, there is still no established treatment. Therefore, it has become a big problem internationally. Since the cases at our hospital have been recovering very well, we were able to attract the interest of foreign doctors. In addition, he was able to directly exchange opinions with many doctors, and he was able to learn about the difficult current situation of the treatment of diseases around implants. Our control of most peri-implant diseases was praised as “Amazing”. He would like to make use of this experience in my daily medical treatment.

Our staff participated in the district dental association clinical seminar.

On November 12th (Saturday), 9 staff members of our hospital participated in the clinical seminar of Miyaki-Tosu District Dental Association. This time, we took a course on pediatric oral dysfunction, which has recently been featured in the media. Pediatric oral dysfunction is a condition in which oral functions are not sufficiently developed for eating, speaking, and breathing in children. By participating in this seminar, we was able to learn how to solve the problem of declining oral functions in children today. At our clinic, we have started a new attempt to respond to pediatric oral dysfunction. If you have any concerns not only about your teeth but also about your mouth, please feel free to contact us.

Introduced lip closure measuring device

We have introduced a new lip closure measuring device for children, “Ripple-kun”.This instrument can measure the muscle strength around the lips and mouth and express it as a numerical value. Today's children often eat soft meals and chew their food less frequently, so the number of children with insufficient development of oral functions such as "eating, speaking, and breathing" is increasing. In order to prevent such a decline in oral function, our clinic measures the muscle strength around the mouth, checks the correct posture, and conducts muscle training for the muscles around the tongue and mouth. If you have any concerns about your child's oral health, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Director Ichimaru gave a lecture at the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology

The 52nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology was held from September 23rd to 25th. Director Ichimaru gave a lecture at a special symposium. He will explain the new classification of peri-implant diseases established by the American and European Society of Periodontology in 2017 and He explained how the new classification was introduced and applied in our hospital. The general discussion was a great opportunity to exchange opinions with the participating teachers. We would like you to make use of what you have learned at this year's Implant Society in your daily medical practice, to reliably treat peri-implant diseases, and to use implants in a healthy state for a long time.

Our Staff participated in the 65th Spring Meeting of the Japanese Society of Periodontology.

The 65th Spring Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Periodontology was streamed on demand, and our dental hygienist attended from June 20th to July 20th. At the dental hygienist symposium, the topic was "basic knowledge of the female body that dental hygienists should know". In women, the environment in the mouth changes due to hormonal balance. It is said that due to the influence of female hormones, inflammation of the gums, an increase in periodontal bacteria, and alveolar bone may be dissolved. There are many times when it is difficult for women to control plaque, but we will notice small changes in the patient at that time, give advice on oral care, and provide solid professional care. If you have any problems with your mouth, please consult our clinic.

Dr. Ichimaru, the dean, gave a lecture at the Nagasaki University Clinical Training Seminar.

On Thursday, June 23rd, Dean Ichimaru gave a lecture at the Nagasaki University Clinical Training Seminar. The dean serves as a clinical professor at Nagasaki University. The seminar was attended primarily by faculty members from Nagasaki University and practicing physicians. In this seminar, we discussed the importance of maintenance in dental implants and presented on the maintenance procedures carried out at our clinic. Just like natural teeth, implants need to be kept clean to ensure their long-term health and maintenance. Post-implantation care is the most crucial aspect. At our clinic, we perform implantation surgeries and also provide regular cleaning for implants after they are placed. Let's keep implants healthy for enjoying a proper bite and meals.
For more information about dental implants, please refer to the 'Implants' section.
