The Aozora seminar was inaugurated by six experienced orthodontists as volunteers with an objective to set up a forum where young orthodontists, a key driving force for future dentistry, gather across different universities, schools of thoughts and countries to promote friendship, share concerns and exchange opinions by lodging together under the same roof. This year marks the 5th anniversary of the seminar. It has become increasingly international over the years. Young regular members have been actively involved in planning of the seminar, contributing to the ever-increasing liveliness. Please visit the Aozora-Nakanuki Study Group website (http://www.aozora-nakanuki.com/) for further details.
Our catch phrase is "Regional & Generational Exchange of Orthdontic Ideas".
This year's theme is "Class III treatment in growing children". The seminar will invite Dr. Somchai, Clinical Associate Professor of Orthodontics at Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. She spoke on the same theme in her well-received lecture at APOC (Asian Pacific Orthodontic Congress) 2008. The seminar will take place near Osaka Castle according to the following schedule. Every participant will be asked to be a staff member and play a part in running this participatory seminar over three days and two nights, so that all participants will spend enjoyable and meaningful time together towards the realization of their dreams.
