Abstract : Every things can not stay in the same conditions. In order to foresee the immediate or long future, it is the best way to examine the past things in detail like the time of writing academic papers. However, my speciality is endodontics and laser treatment. So, the subject about the problems in the present dentistry and future outlook was very difficult for me to write for a short time. First of all, I tried to strictly express my opinion about past and present of social, education, researches, treatments and then the outlook was discussed in short. In addition to the above matters as concerns our dental association, although I think a little bit to say too much, I said my opinion about the Japan Dental Association, the government health insurance system, dental hygienists, technicians, and companies. Finally, I like to express that there was no enough time and pages to write the full paper about this very wide and complicated problems in dentistry. I ask you to review about these matters in detail by yourself looking into and criticizing my paper. I think that there is a no problem because my country is managed under the democratic rules.
