Dear Reader,
_Welcome to this year’s third edition ofcosmetic dentistry! I hope you enjoyed the first
and second editions, which are also available online at www.dental-tribune.com free of charge
so that we can truly share our expertise and knowledge.
I have been a member of the Asian Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (AAAD) for many years
and recently also became a member of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. Another
change in myprofessional life has been the transition from being a private practitioner in Seoul,
Korea, to an appointment as full-time associate professor at the Department of Restorative Dentistry and Center for Dental Research at Loma Linda University’s School of Dentistry in California.
Therefore, it is with great excitement that I would like to use this opportunity to serve as a bridge
for the East and theWest to work together in harmony for the progress of cosmetic dentistry.
I am confident that our magazine will aid in this goal for collaboration.

Co-Editor-in-Chief

Global cosmetic dentistry is on the way! The Japan Academy of Esthetic Dentistry (JAED) with
its nearly 3,000 members and the Korean Academy of Esthetic Dentistry (KAED) with its more
than 2,000 members have beenvery strong pillars in supporting the AAAD. The JAED, under the
leadership of its President, Dr Toru Sato, established a collaboration with the American Academy
of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) last year. This year, the KAED, headed by Dr Myung-Jin Kim, followed this example. The AACD is recognised as the largest cosmetic academy worldwide with
more than 7,000 members. The collaboration of theacademies will lead to a continuous exchange of speakers between the academies and I hope that there will also be more submissions
of informative articles to cosmetic dentistry.
This colourful edition is concerned particularly with minimally invasive dentistry using composites and with relevant industry reports on adhesive systems and composite resin materials.
You will also enjoy information onmeetings and international events and much more. I sincerely
hope that you will enjoy this edition and successfully apply the information to your clinical
practice.
Yours faithfully,
Dr So Ran Kwon
