Held under the theme Gather Knowledge, Create “8 Billion” Smiles!, the symposium welcomed 7,598 registered participants, including 1,764 from overseas, and brought together dental professionals from 71 countries and regions. Across 65 sessions, 204 speakers from around the world presented the latest research findings and clinical insights, followed by lively question-and-answer sessions. The program covered a wide range of fields—including regenerative medicine, digital dentistry, orthodontics, esthetic restorative dentistry, periodontics, endodontics, and preventive dentistry—as well as the relationship between oral and systemic health, with sessions on oral function, nutrition, and sleep. The symposium provided researchers and clinicians from Japan and abroad with an opportunity to exchange the latest knowledge.
