In the world of today we are faced with tremendous
quantities of data. New technology means people
can communicate together faster and more widely
than ever before. But this creates the potential
for new problems − especially for professionally
qualified health-carers such as dentists, technicians
and hygienists.
In the healthcare profession there is a certain
duty to take advantage of the most modern proven
treatments to help patients. Worldwide scientific
discussion and exchange of ideas accelerates the
pace at which new treatments and techniques are
introduced. However, it now becomes more and more
difficult for dental professionals to keep up-to-date
with these trends, and in particular to convert
the mass of “raw data” into useful information
which is relevant for daily practice.
I believe that LDA-online offers leading dentists
an excellent route to solve this problem. Having
access to the latest appropriate information,
and the opportunity to communicate efficiently
with like-minded colleagues can provide the practicing
dentist, hygienist or technician with a valuable
personal resource.
Therefore I wish the supporters of LDA-online
every success both in Japan and worldwide.
