e-mail Subject : Tokushima University Doctoral Course of Dentistry

Sendai, May 14, 2018

Dear Profesor Hiroo Ito

This is to introduce my self Isa Anshori Muchaeroni. I am graduate student at
Department of dentistry, Islamic University of Sultan Agung Semarang, Indonesia. I have
already finished my undergraduate and profession program at Islamic University of Sultan
Agung Semarang, Indonesia. In Indonesia, I am lecturer at dental and oral health department of
the Medicine faculty’s Wahid Hasyim University Semarang, Indonesia. Now I am learning
Japanese language in Tohoku Tabunka Academy, Sendai with intention of easily communication
with Japanese people. I have already studied Japanese language since October 18 (Wednesday)
2017.
I would like to pursue Doctor course in Department of Preventive Dentistry at
Tokushima University graduate school of Dentistry start from October 2018. I have already read
sensei’s research and I am interested in Department of Preventive Dentistry at Tokushima
University graduate school of Dentistry.

In Indonesia, paradigm that oral health science is not important. The data of Basic
Health Research at 2013, national prevalence about oral health problem is 25,9%. 72.3% of
Indonesia's population has dental caries, causing dental and mouth disease to first rank with the
prevalence of 61% of Indonesia's population. After completion of my doctoral program, I
returned to Indonesia and together with all Indonesian dentists to reduce the level of dental
problems. Altough my research in ungraduated school is about Differences Ability of Lime
Extract Concentration (Citrus Aurontifolia) Inhibiting the Growth of Streptococcus Mutans
(Study in Vitro), I do hope that Sensei is willing to supervise my work in department of Oral
Health Science.

Soon after I receive sensei’s confirmation as my supervisor, I will lodge an official

application. I am waiting for sensei’s advice. Should sensei have any further queries, please do
not hesitate to contact me.

Best regard,

Isa Anshori Muchaeroni
