title: Primary dental care in Japan: organisation, management and delivery.
abstract: The Japanese system of business management and work ethic has been the envy of many in the Western world and many have visited the country to study the methods employed for success. As winner of the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners (UK)'s Stafford-Miller Travelling Scholarship, I spent four weeks in Japan visiting various dental institutions and examining general dental practice.
