Abstract
The 15th International Federation of Dental Anesthesia Societies (IFDAS) International Dental Congress on Anesthesia, Sedation, and Pain Control, in Nara, Japan, was a huge success. This was a joint meeting with the Japanese Dental Society of Anesthesiology (JDSA), the specialty association of dental anesthesiologists (as they are called in Japan), and the Federation of Asian Dental Anesthesiology Societies, made up of physician anesthesiologists with an interest in, or practice devoted to, anesthesiology for dentistry from other Asia/Pacific countries and including JDSA. Over 1000 participants were involved in the various lectures, symposia, poster presentations, and oral research presentations of the 3 groups.Representing the United States and Canada were a particularly large number of dentist anesthesiologists, including such luminaries as Drs Joel Weaver, Daniel Haas, Mort Rosenberg, James Phero, and Stanley Malamed. Several US oral and maxillofacial surgeons also attended, including ADSA president Dr Michael Rollert, who eloquently represented ADSA. Dr Cynthia Fukami represented ASDA as president-elect. Invited US speakers included Drs Joel Weaver and Steven Ganzberg. Drs Jason Brady and Andrea Fonner, along with a host of ADSA members and dental anesthesiologists from Japan, presented a beta version of the 10 Minutes Saves a Life app to our colleagues from all over the world. The app should be available before the end of the year to all ADSA members!Dr Joel Weaver, a consummate historian, gave the JDSA Yasuya Kubota Memorial Lecture on the legacy of Japanese and American pioneers in dental anesthesiology. A special session titled Young IFDAS was a great success, with younger (and older) dentist anesthesiologists and sedation providers from all over the world discussing sedation and general anesthesia in their respective countries. A number of presentations related to facial pain and its management were also presented.Dr Daniel Haas, dentist anesthesiologist, Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry, and Head of the Department of Dental Anesthesiology at the University of Toronto, was one of the recipients of the Horace Wells Award recognizing exceptional careers in pain and anxiety control in dentistry. He is the first Canadian to be awarded the honor. Dr. James Phero, dentist anesthesiologist and past ADSA and IFDAS president, also received this high honor from the IFDAS.The IFDAS and JDSA put on an exceptional program headed by Dr Tatsuya Ichinohe with congress president Dr Katsuhisa Sunada. The logistics were quite complex with so many different meetings in so many languages going on simultaneously. As we have come to expect from our Japanese colleagues, the event was flawlessly presented. The Noh theatre performance, an ancient Japanese tradition, and the Taiko drummers during the evening presidential reception were beautiful. The geisha performance at the very sophisticated gala dinner the next night was exquisite and completed the highlights of the long history of Japanese culture. In short, the 15th IFDAS meeting was a tremendous experience for all who attended and had the opportunity to expand their vision of dental anesthesiology on what felt like a very small planet. Make your plans now to attend IFDAS 2021 in Moscow, Russia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
