About

Dr. Yoshihiro Momota is a leading figure in dental anesthesiology and medical emergency simulation, with a particular focus on improving patient safety through accessible, low-cost training tools. His most-cited work, “Simulation training for medical emergencies in the dental setting using an inexpensive software application” (2017, 21 citations), addresses a critical gap in dental education: the high cost of traditional simulators. By developing and validating a budget-friendly software-based simulation platform, Dr. Momota has made it possible for dental schools and clinics worldwide to train practitioners in managing life-threatening emergencies without expensive manikins. This contribution has been widely recognized for its practicality and potential to democratize emergency preparedness training. Beyond this flagship study, his research portfolio spans topics such as sedation safety, pediatric dental anesthesia, and the integration of technology into clinical education. Dr. Momota’s work has been cited by peers in both dentistry and medical simulation, underscoring its cross-disciplinary impact. His innovative approach—combining clinical expertise with educational technology—continues to influence how future dental providers are trained to handle crises, ultimately enhancing patient safety in the dental setting.
