Description

This book, containing review articles from the 5th International Symposium for Interface Oral Health Science held January 20–21, 2014, at Sakura Hall in Tohoku
University, Sendai, Japan, is being published in 2014 under the title of Interface
Oral Health Science 2014. I am very pleased and honored to deliver the book for publication.
Interface oral health science is a new concept in dentistry, established by the Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry in 2002, and is based on the following principles: Normal oral function is maintained through harmony between three biological and biomechanical systems: structure of the mouth, including teeth, the mucous membrane, bones, and muscles; microorganisms in the mouth (parasites); and biomaterials. Tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral disorders can be recognized as interface disorders, which are caused by the collapse of the interface between the systems. This concept is shared not only by dentistry and
dental medicine but also by a variety of disciplines, including medicine, material science, engineering, and others.
Since 2002, the Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry has regarded interface oral health science as the main theme of dental research in the twenty-first
century. We are committed to advancing dental studies by implementing interface oral health science, while promoting interdisciplinary research across a wide range
of related fields. Based on this concept, we have successfully organized international symposia for Interface Oral Health Science four times, in 2005, 2007, 2009,
and 2011, including inspiring special lectures, symposium sessions, poster presentations, and other discussions. These presentations from the four international symposia were published in a series of English monographs under the title Interface Oral Health Science.
These achievements were praised, and, in 2007, “Highly Functional Interface Science: Innovation of Biomaterials with Highly Functional Interface to Host and Parasite” was adopted as a program for Research and Education Funding for the Inter-University Research Project 2007–2011, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan. Subsequently, we have been developing the project with a broader and deeper concept: “Biosis–Abiosis Intelligent Interface,” which also was adopted as a program for a Research Promotion Project 2012–2015, MEXT, Japan. It is aimed at creating a highly functional and autonomic intelligent interface by combining the highly functional interface science established by the Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry and the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, with the technology of evaluation and control at the interface which was offered by the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, Tohoku University. We firmly believe that the Biosis–
Abiosis Intelligent Interface project can contribute to solving various problems not only in dentistry and medicine but also in other disciplines.
Therefore, the 5th International Symposium for Interface Oral Health Science was held as the Innovative Research for Biosis–Abiosis Intelligent Interface Symposium,
organized by the Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry with the aid of a Research Promotion Project Grant, MEXT, Japan. The symposium was composed of four focus sessions and 90 poster presentations. We had 18 distinguished
invited/keynote speakers for the focus sessions.
I hope that our project, including the symposium and the book, will accelerate the progress of dental science and point the way for dental research for future generations. Finally, I would like to thank all members of our school and participants of the symposium for their contributions. Our thanks go especially to the authors of the excellent review papers for this book.
