Plenary Lecture -- Novel Bioengineering -- Mechanobiology -- Biomaterial Interface -- Biomechanical–Biological Interface -- Host-Parasite Interface -- Biometrial Interface -- Social Interface -- Tohoku-Forsyth Symposium.

The Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry has proposed Interface Oral Health Science as the main theme of next-generation dental research since 2002. That theme is based on the new concept that healthy oral function is provided by biological and biomechanical harmony among three systems: oral tissues, parasites, and biomaterials, and that oral diseases are interpreted as "interface diseases" caused by disruption of the intact interfaces among those systems.
