Hidekazu Hida, Director of Mitsukyo Ekimae Smile Dental Clinic (Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture), a medical corporation Egao wo Hagukumu Kai, spoke at the "Periodontal Bacteria Real-time PCR Test Introduction Seminar" held on Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Urban Net Kanda Conference in Tokyo.
This seminar, organized by the International Society of Periodontal Medicine (ISSP), focused on the clinical application of "real-time PCR testing," which scientifically visualizes the causative bacteria of periodontal disease. It garnered attention as a new approach that balances improved accuracy in periodontal treatment with reduced patient burden.
■ Towards an Era of Visualizing "Invisible Causative Bacteria" - A Turning Point in Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal treatment has traditionally focused on symptomatic therapy according to the progression of symptoms. However, in recent years, there has been a significant shift towards treatment that emphasizes a direct approach to the causative bacteria.
At this seminar, a new treatment model was introduced that utilizes real-time PCR testing to identify the types and quantities of periodontal causative bacteria, thereby realizing personalized medicine optimized for each patient.
Furthermore, based on over 20 years of clinical experience, the seminar explained how combining bacterial observation with a phase-contrast microscope and PCR testing enables more accurate diagnosis and treatment strategy planning than conventional methods.
■ Balancing Reduced Patient Burden and Precision Medicine
Director Hida, speaking as a Vice Representative Director, presented highly clinically valuable content, including:
・Diagnostic criteria for periodontal internal medicine treatment and specific methods for eradication treatment, including medication.
・Practical approaches to plaque control that maintain oral hygiene while considering the patient's self-care burden.
・Visualization of periodontal bacteria through real-time PCR testing and individualized treatment based on scientific evidence.
These initiatives were highly regarded by participants as demonstrating a shift from "conventional treatment relying on continuous patient effort" to "treatment based on scientific evidence aimed at maintaining a stable oral environment."
■ Background of the Seminar
Periodontal disease affects many adults, yet detailed understanding of its causative bacteria and individualized responses have been insufficient until now.
With the spread of real-time PCR testing, the objectivity and reproducibility of treatment have increased, and periodontal treatment is transitioning to a new stage.
This seminar was held against this backdrop, as a venue for sharing practical implementation methods and scientific knowledge in clinical settings.
■ Related Information (Book)
Director Hida is a co-author, as Vice Representative Director of the International Society of Periodontal Medicine, of the book "Phase-Contrast Microscope Utilization and Practice Manual for Dentistry" (Dental Diamond Co., Ltd.), to be published in September 2025.
This book systematically explains practical methods for bacterial examination using a phase-contrast microscope and its application to periodontal internal medicine treatment, positioning it as a clinical guideline closely related to the content of this seminar.
