Abstract
The Japan Health Care Dental Association has celebrated fullthree years since its launch. Taking this opportunity I would like to review our activities and their outcomes based upon our “Mission” we adopted at the time of establishment. Our Association does not merely seek for member's profit, but we are aiming; to assess and adjust our daily practice primarily and to consider “what the medicine should be” in order to serve people maintain and enjoy “comfortable chewing”, “conversation free from functional restraint” and “smiles that are filled with youthfulness and dignity”. The Association's establishment itself and activities have influenced medicine and dental medical research in great deal, however, we can not deny that there are still tasks we could not complete satisfactory nevertheless adopting as objectives.
