Welcome message

A Warm Welcome

We extend a warm welcome to you all on the occasion of the 37th Annual Scientific Conference of the South East Asia Association for Dental Education (SEAADE 2026).
It is a great honor and a profound pleasure for us to welcome dental educators from across Asia and Southeast Asia here to Tokyo. On behalf of the Faculty of Dentistry, Institute of Science Tokyo, the host institution of this conference, I am delighted to welcome educators, researchers, clinicians and students who share an unwavering commitment to advancing dental education and oral health across the whole of the Asian region.

Commitment to Education and Collaboration

The theme of SEAADE 2026, “Dental Education for Science, Wellbeing, and Society”, aims to rethink the role that dental education should fulfill in the real world in which people live, and to take the first step towards transformation. We are living in an era of extraordinary transformation, and it is our shared responsibility to nurture the next generation of dental professionals to meet the evolving demands of global healthcare across Asia and the world. Over the upcoming days, we invite you all to actively participate in the rich and carefully designed programme we have prepared. From thought-provoking keynote speeches and rigorous scientific sessions to practical workshops, this conference offers an excellent opportunity to exchange best practices, establish new research collaborations, and build meaningful professional networks.
We invite you to take this opportunity to share knowledge, stimulate one another’s thinking, and work together to raise the standards of dental education for a better future for the communities we serve.
