Professor Kanazawa and PhD student Nguyen Thi Khanh An participated in the 48th Annual Scientific Conference on Dental Research in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam where he served as the keynote speaker and chairman of the scientific session. During the visit, we also held a collaborative meeting with the heads of the Prosthodontics and Implantology Departments, providing a valuable opportunity to strengthen academic exchange and discuss future cooperation. Beyond the scientific program, we had the chance to experience Ho Chi Minh City, enjoy the local cuisine, and appreciate the vibrant atmosphere of the city.
