What is The Academy of Surgically Microscopic Clinical Dentistry?
The Academy of Surgically Microscopic Clinical Dentistry is an academic society for
dentists and dental hygienists who have mastered or wish to master the Three Step
Akiyama Method (The Micro Endoscopic Technique Akiyama Method).
We were established in 2016 with the belief that we would like to apply surgical
microscopes to all kinds of dental treatment, and that we would like to change dental
care around the world and save many patients with the Three Step Akiyama method.
One of our major goals is to properly disseminate dental treatment techniques using
surgical microscopes not only in Japan but also to the world, and to develop global
leaders in the clinical application of surgical microscopes in dentistry.
I sincerely hope that the day will come when the Three-Step Akiyama Method will be
widely disseminated to dentists and dental hygienists

History
Dr. Katsuhiko Akiyama established his own institute (Minami Alps Training Institute for
Microdentistry, commonly known as MATI) in 2007, wanting to properly spread the
Three Step Akiyama Method (The Micro Endoscopic Technique Akiyama Method) for
the future of Japan. .
In 2016, the Academy of Surgical Microscopic Clinical Dentistry (AMD) was established
as a public organization to spread techniques to more dentists and dental hygienists.
