“Globalization and IAPD”
It has been some time since our last newsletter and
the IAPD Board has been busy with challenges and at
the same time, rewarding tasks. Prof Gerald Wright
has been greatly missed after many years of service
to IAPD as the immediate past Secretary General.
New Board members together with Dr Joseph Chan,
the new Secretary General, have
quickly stepped in and have
assumed their roles and continue
with the tasks at hand. All Board
members dedicated their efforts with passion to the
progress of IAPD. In this regard, I would like to thank
all my colleagues for their active role within our
organization.
IAPD now represents 57 nations, and although commu-
nication across boundaries has always existed within
IAPD, globalization, cross cultural awareness and
technology are redefining the way we communicate.
IAPD has faced ongoing interest and communication
with important paediatric dental organizations. More
recently, Dr Joel Berg, President of the American
Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has shared the same
interest in organizations such as IAPD and promising
interactions will develop.
IAPD introduced this year a two year membership at a
reduced cost of €108 Euros for individual members
and €54 Euros for postgraduate students. This is an
amazing deal given the benefits of this membership,
including a subscription to the International Journal
of Paediatric Dentistry (IJPD). I hope many of you or
your colleagues take advantage of this offer to
support an organization whose primary role is educa-
tion and to contribute to children’s dental health
worldwide.
IAPD had a successful regional meeting in Russia dur-
ing April 2012. This was a
combined effort of the
Association of Paediatric
Dentists of Russia, the
Moscow State University
of Medicine & Dentistry and IAPD. This meeting
attracted more than 270 new IAPD members in 2012.

The success of this meeting is due to the efforts of
all involved, but especially Prof Marcelo Bonecker
(Chair of the IAPD Education Committee), Prof Laris-
sa Kiselnikova (Russia) and all guest lecturers, among
others: Prof Anna Fuks, Prof Monty Duggal (both
IAPD speakers) and Prof Luc Martens (Belgium).
IAPD is again holding a Regional Meeting in Sao Paulo,
Brazil on 25-25 April 2013. This meeting is coordi-
nated by the IAPD Education Committee, through
Prof Bonecker and has attracted a variety of interna-
tional speakers and sponsors. This meeting promises
to be an exciting event and more information may be
found through our website or http://
www.iapdmeetingbrazil.com.br/en/index.php
I am also proud to announce that Prof Anna Fuks, one
of our most valued members and a past president of
this organization was awarded the 2013 Distinguished
Service Award by the American Academy of Pediatric
Dentistry (AAPD). This is the most prestigious award
given by the AAPD. Prof Fuks has always been a role
model to this organization with relentless dedication,
motivation and hard work. She is truly deserving of
this award and on behalf of the Board of Directors I
congratulate her for her achievement.
It is with great pleasure that I communicate that we
are only a few months away from the 24th Congress
of IAPD in June this year. The local organising
committee in Seoul, South Korea has been busy with
preparations for this upcoming event. To date, 790
abstracts from 54 countries have already been
submitted to this congress. We hope you can join us
in this important event. We must congratulate the
efforts and hard work of Prof Sang Ho Lee, Chair of
the 24th Congress and its local organising committee.
This report would not be complete without showing
my appreciation to Ms Sylvie Dutilloy, our association
coordinator, whose constant dedication and hard
work on behalf of IAPD do not go unnoticed.
Best wishes and see you in Seoul!

A Message from the Secretary General
Dear Colleagues
When I was asked by the newslet-
ter editor to contribute a mes-
sage, I thought it was not very
long ago that I wrote one. In fact
it was almost a year ago. Looking
back we had a very busy and
encouraging year. The Regional
Meeting in Moscow last April was
a great success with over 300
participants. Prof. Larissa Kiselni-
kova and her organising commit-
tee must be congratulated for
their efforts in promoting the
Regional Meeting and member-
ship of IAPD. The IAPD Sympo-
sium at the FDI Congress in Hong Kong last August
was also very well attended with Prof. Bernadette
Drummond as our speaker. An IAPD booth was set
up to promote the IAPD Congress in Seoul. There
was remarkable interest in the Seoul Congress and
we ran out of promotion material before the close
of the trade exhibition.
We also have an exciting few months ahead of us.
Our next Regional Meeting will be in São Paulo,
Brazil on 25 & 26 of April. If you are planning to
attend, the deadline for registration is on 28 March
2013. National Societies who would like to host an
IAPD Regional Meeting in your own country must let
me know as soon as possible as the Board of Direc-
tors will be considering new applications in the
Board Meeting in June 2013. Information on the
hosting of Regional Meeting can be found on our
website: (http://www.iapdworld.org/edu/super_pages.php?ID=edu3)
The preparation for
24th IAPD Congress in
Seoul is in full swing
and in order to enjoy
a discounted registration fee you must complete
your registration before 31 March 2013. I am
confident that it will be an excellent Congress and I
look forward to seeing you in Seoul.

The masthead of the International Journal of
Paediatric Dentistry states that the journal “was
formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of
the International Association of Paediatric Den-
tistry and the British Society of Paediatric Den-
tistry. Published bi-monthly, it has a true inter-
national scope and aims to promote the highest
standard of education, practice and research in
paediatric dentistry world-
wide.” Volume 22 was pub-
lished this past year, 2012, containing six issues
with 72 pages for 61 manuscripts, and two special
supplemental issues. Supplement one reviewed
the care of
patients with Epidermolysis Bulosis, and supple-
ment two reported the abstracts presented at
the annual meeting of the British Society of Pae-
diatric Dentistry annual scientific meeting.
Members of the Association receive hard copies
of each issue. They also enjoy free on-line
access to all issues since volume one published in
1991. During the past year, there were more than
118,000 downloads of journal articles. There are
now more than 1285 individual journal subscrip-
tions in addition to 255 institutional and 4259
library subscriptions. These numbers
reflect the renown of the Journal world-wide.
The Journal also serves the important purpose of
providing for authors a venue to publish world
class papers. During 2012, there were 644
submissions from 63 countries, representing 485
scientific papers, 109 case reports, and 50 other
types of papers. However, because of
limited journal space, the acceptance rate this
past year was only 7.6%. Our Editor-in-Chief,
Professor Chris Deery had the difficult task of
selecting only the best papers for publication. He
was assisted by a 20 member Editorial Board and
more than 720 international reviewers. They per-
form their task diligently so that the average
time from submission of papers to final
decision was only 32 days and those accepted
papers likely will be published within a year.
Prospective authors
should review Professor
Deery’s editorial in the
January, 2012 issue for
suggestions regarding
proper preparation of
papers for submission,
and his editorial in the January, 2013 issue
reviewing why papers are rejected.
Association members should be proud of their
Journal as it represents a significant benefit of
membership in the Association.

Dear members, colleagues, and friends,
The 24th IAPD 2013 Congress is only about 110 days away. Following the successful IAPD Greece Congress, the IAPD 2013 Local Organizing Committee is doing our best to make an unforgettable event through high quality academic programs and various social events. For the past year, the Korean LOC has had 14 LOC meetings, 6 Scientific Committee Meetings, and 2 workshops to fully prepare for the IAPD 2013 Congress below.
[What’s New in IAPD 2013 Congress?]
1. More fun and interesting academic programs
will be available with new formats such as ‘Clinical Practice: What’s New’, ‘Treasure Island’, and more. During the plenary sessions, participants will have opportunities to ask online questions to have more interactivity.
2. The exhibition hall will be used not only for
exhibition purpose but also for various events and resting places during the congress. Also, a collection of about 150 rare old text books of paediatric dentistry in the world will be displayed at a special exhibition space, which will offer a glimpse into the past.
3. Through various social events, participants will
feel unparalleled hospitality with affection, generosity, and attachment, which we call in Korean word, “jung”
[Scientific Program]
The main theme of the Scientific Program is “New Visions for Paediatric Dentistry” to review the current status and suggest progressive directions to the future of paediatric dentistry industry.
▶ Pre-Congress Program
The pre-Congress Day is on Wednesday, June 12th, and we have more programs than any other previous
Congresses. Especially, participants from developing countries can participate at a reduced rate to ease their registration.
The full-day seminar, “Contemporary Sedation in Pae-diatric Dentistry” will be held for the first time in the history of IAPD. Stephen Wilson (USA) and Eduardo Alcaino (Australia) will join the lecture. The workshop about oral hygiene is themed as “Oral hygiene: In-struction and Monitoring Caries Activity”, which will be facilitated by W.E. van Amerongen (Netherlands), Marcelo Bőnecker (Brazil), J. Kim (Korea), and N. Lee (Korea) and the prevention suggestions for caries risk assessment will be presented during such workshop.
The workshop, “When things go wrong - Clinical fail-ures in Paediatric Dentistry” will be available for post-graduate students. Angus Cameron (Australia) and Mike Harrison (UK) will join the workshop.

is a rather
young and
small society
but never-
theless very
active. In
2012 we had
the biggest
event since
our founda-
tion in 2005.
It is already a well known tradition that every 2 years
a symposium of the Austrian Association of Paediat-
ric Dentistry is held in Salzburg. Due to the fact that
in 2012 the Austrian General Dental Congress was to
be held in Salzburg, too, both events were merged
together. On the one hand this gave the paediatric
dentists the chance to meet colleagues and friends
while hearing good lectures. On the other hand it of-
fered general dentists the chance to peek into paedi-
atric dentistry without having to visit a separate
event. This concept apparently convinced lots of
dentists who came from all parts of Austria, Germany
and Switzerland. Lectures started with news on pulp
regeneration and revascularization on Friday after-
noon. These topics obviously were so popular that the
room was bursting with people and many listeners
could not find a place in the room. This picture did
not change a lot later on, when restorations in prima-
ry and young permanent teeth were discussed. So, on
Saturday, the pedo program was moved to the largest
existing lecture hall in the building. This day was de-
voted to the psychology of childhood in the morning,
followed by seminars to different topics in the after-
noon. Finally, in the evening, while having a wonderful
dinner in an old manor with live music, awards and
prizes could be given to some of the successful
participants.

The British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD)
celebrated our 60th Anniversary in 2012 and contin-
ues to thrive with an increasing membership of nearly
600. We had a very successful and well attended An-
nual Scientific Conference which was held in Newcas-
tle-upon-Tyne and attracted a total of 300 dele-
gates, including colleagues from overseas and dental
care professionals (DCP's). Speakers included Pro-
fessor Jimmy Steele, author of the "Steele report",
and the highly entertaining and knowledgeable Pro-
fessor John Whitworth who provided a well received
endodontic update. For the first time, we held a DCP
day and
offered a DCP prize for the best verbal presentation
of an abstract.
BSPD now looks forward to hosting the IAPD 2015
conference to be held in Glasgow under the Chair of
Professor Richard Welbury. An exciting scientific
programme, designed by Professor Helen Rodd, is
already well under development. The local organising
committee look forward to welcoming you to Glasgow
in two years' time.
On a political level our current challenge is to inform
the Commissioning process for Paediatric Dentistry in
England. This is a time of great change but we are
striving to ensure that our voice is heard and that
any decisions made are in the best interest of Chil-
drens' oral health. This year will see the publication
of a new care pathway for children.

Thinking about the future of
children and the future of
dentistry, we will develop our
society activities towards the
realization of four aims for
next half century.
We will demonstrate
scientifically that dento-oral functions influ-
ence the quality of life in the every stage of
human life and will make this knowledge public.
We will promote a support system for children
in dentistry to support them from a viewpoint
of the physiological development of mind and
body.
We will build an environment where all children
can enjoy the dental service with high quality.
We will promote the cooperation with all child
health professionals which is essential for
accomplishment of the above aims.

Philippine Pediatric Dental Society (PPDSI)
It has been a busy year for the
Philippine Pediatric Dental Society.
The main project for 2012 was
focused on Continuing Education
not only for the members but also
for Filipino dentists based in the
different parts of the archipelago. Aside from the
usual quarterly seminars to update the members, the
Society staged four well-received Area Conventions –
in South Luzon on July 23, 2012, the Visayas on Sep-
tember 13-14, 2012, North Luzon on November 21,
2012 and Mindanao on January 21, 2013. During the
rounds, it was also a good opportunity to include in
the program the information dissemination of the
Society’s Fluoride Guidelines. The Fluoride Guidelines
is a pet project of the Council of Past Presidents
which lasted for 16 months and presented the Socie-
ty’s recommendations when it came to the different
vehicles and materials containing fluoride. Infor-
mation from the Guidelines was also included in our
community outreaches in numerous day care centers
and preschools, children who were participating in the
Special Olympics, diabetic patients of the Philippine
General Hospital, families of Overseas Filipino
Workers and orphans of the Our Lady of Caysasay
Orphanage in Batangas province. Lastly, the Society
is also providing the manpower for a research project
that is sponsored by the FDI and the Philippine
Dental Association. 2012 was truly a dynamic year for
the Philippine Pediatric Dental Society.
Dr. Maritess Oliveros-Villarico
President
Philippine Pediatric Dental Society
Batang May ‘K’(BMK), a project of the Philippine
Dental Association (PDA), is part of the global
Live.Learn.Laugh(LLL) program of the FDI World
Dental Federation and Unilever International.
The Philippine Pediatric Dental Society (PPDSI) is
proud to have initiated, and to continue to support,
this project. BMK started off in 2007 when the FDI
approved the proposal for this public health program
to be piloted in Batangas Province. The program aims
to institutionalize preventive health interventions,
such as handwashing and toothbrushing, and proper
diet as regular activities in the day care setting.
These are meant to address health problems that
beset most Filipino children. BMK continues to benefit
approximately 108 day care centers and 2,900 day
care pupils every year.
LLL Phase 2 brings an additional ten municipalities and
8,000 children to the program. The sustainability of
BMK lies in giving the ownership of the program to the
local leaders, and keeping the implementation simple
and affordable. This ensures that even when the
formal LLL program ends, the healthy habits can con-
tinue with the children.
Another new aspect of LLL Phase 2 is the assessment
and evaluation side of the program. Here an assess-
ment team, composed of PPDSI members, voluntarily
participate in systemized data-gathering to support
the objectives of BMK. The research will review the
effects on the caries levels of the children and will
also study the behavioral changes with the children
and their parents.
Batang May 'K' relies on volunteer work provided by
PPDSI members, local civic organizations, and govern-
ment employees. The team is headed by project direc-
tor, Dr. Noel Vallesteros.
As the incoming president of our society, I would like
to share with you a project of one of our members
under the PPDSI and our mother organization, the
Philippine Dental Association. This project has been in
existence since 2008 and its goal is to improve the
oral health of Filipino children focusing on communi-
ties who are less privileged and under served.
Respectfully Yours,

Taiwan Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (TAPD)
Activities from National Member Societies
The Taiwan Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (TAPD)
is the only organization representing the specialty of
Pediatric Dentistry in Taiwan. Established in 1992,
the members of TAPD has increased from 90 to 460
during the past twenty years. Certified pediatric
dentists received training in Taiwan and in foreign
countries, mainly in United States and Japan.
Each year, TAPD holds three to five continue educa-
tion conferences to provide updated academic infor-
mation in various fields. In 2012, TAPD welcomed the
world-renowned Prof. Anna Fuks from Israel, to give
lectures at APDC and our annual meeting on the
trend of pulp therapies for primary and young perma-
nent teeth. TAPD also invited Dr. Takashi Nezu, a
reputable ortho-
dontist from
Japan, to talk
about the early
treatment and
muscular func-
tional therapy
from the view-
point of an
orthodontist. In
addition to the
international speakers, TAPD also had several
Taiwanese leading pediatric dentists discussing the
issues of health insurances, the theory and clinic
experience of behavior management, and the devel-
opment of stem cells. Other invited lectures included
root canal therapy for traumatized permanent teeth
by an endondontist, and a judge to discuss medical
disputes and legal issues.
TAPD has been working with the Government of
Taiwan to fight
against the high
caries rate.
Weekly fluoride
rinse programs
at elementary
schools are
funded by the
government
budget and National Health Insurance covers
fluoride treatment for children under 5-years-old.
The President of TAPD, Dr. Jenjuhng Joseph Tsai,
had been advocating the establishment of a
“Children’s Oral Health Day”, and in 2012, the
Bureau of Health Promotion and TAPD officially set
the Wednesday of the October’s “National Oral
Health Week” the “National Children’s Oral Health
Day”. Besides USA, Taiwan is currently the only
country in the world to have an official national
month/day for children’s dental health.
TAPD also creates the slogan of “Dental visit by age
one, cavity- free for your young; Protect your teeth
from infancy, keep your teeth in old age” to address
the importance of the age one dental visit and
benefits of regular check-ups for dental health.

The Venezuelan Society of Paediatric Dentistry
(Sociedad Venezolana de Odontopediatría SVOP) has
worked in 2012 towards bringing the most recent sci-
entific information and clinical techniques in paediat-
ric dentistry to colleagues in our country. Considering
the difficulties we encounter for travelling abroad in
order to assist to international congresses, we fo-
cused on celebrating seminars and short courses with
national as well as international speakers.
Focusing on primary prevention of oral diseases we
had the privilege of counting with Dr. Rita Villena
from Peru, for a short course in caries risk assess-
ment and dentistry for babies.
We organized events nationwide, including a course in
Maracaibo where Dr. Luis Karakowsky from Mexico
shared newest techniques in restorative dentistry.
Our main event was held in Caracas, September
2012, when we celebrated the VII National Congress
of Paediatric Dentistry. It was a complete success
thanks to great participation of all our members and
to effort made by the Organizing Committee and the
fabulous speakers that shared their knowledge with
us. Topics such as Dental Stem Cells and Advances in
Paediatric Dentistry were discussed by Dr. Marc
Saadia from México. Dr. Heriberto Vera from México
who spoke about ART. We were very proud to count
with Dr. Anna Fuks from Israel who lectured on En-
dodontic Treatment for Children and with Dr. Mar-
gherita Fontana, from USA, with her conference
about New Views On Caries Diagnosis and Treatment.
We wish to thank all our collaborators for a very suc-
