The global dental academic symposium "Austem World Meeting" has been completed.
Ostem Implants held "2024 Ostem World Meeting Seoul" at the Magok Central Research Institute's office building and COEX in Gangnam-gu on the 27th and 28th.
Dentists from 52 countries around the world participated in the event. More than 1,500 people visited Korea alone to reaffirm its status as a global dental event.
This year's Ostem World Meeting was held in various ways, including lectures, practice, and discussions under the theme of Magic of Leading Digital Dentistry.
In addition to Korea, many implant surgery and digital dentistry authorities active in New Zealand, the United States, Switzerland, Poland, Japan, and Turkiye were recruited as lecturers and detectors to raise the level of education.
On the first day, on the 27th, four hands-on practical training and prosthetic seminars were held at the headquarters of the Magok Central Research Institute.
On the 28th, five sessions were held at COEX's Grand Ballroom to share academic experiences and knowledge in various fields.
The highlight, Live Surgery, was conducted by Kwon Yong-dae, a professor at Kyung Hee University's Dental University, and Kim Jae-young, a professor at Seoul National University's Dental Hospital, who successfully performed the entire implant placement and aesthetic prosthesis process immediately in 80 minutes.
If the Ostem Meeting, which began in 2004, is a national event in the region where the local subsidiary was established, the Ostem World Meeting is an international event where dentists from all over the world gather in one place across the region.
Until now, it has been held in major cities around the world, including LA, Rome, Moscow, Bangkok, Beijing, Taipei, Tokyo, and Istanbul, and in Korea, Ostem World Meetings were held in 2008, 2011, and 2014.
"Korea is an advanced country in the field of dental treatment where more than 90% of active dentists can undergo implant surgery overseas," an Ostem Implant official said. "Ostem Implant, which has developed a dentist's clinical education system and infrastructure to foster implant masters in each country, is holding the largest educational event in Korea for the first time in a long time."
