Osstem hosts 1,200 dental professionals at Bangkok implant symposium
Overview of a major implant symposium covering digital surgery techniques and clinical workflows relevant to implantologists.
Osstem Implant held its annual World Meeting on 27-28 March in Bangkok, drawing approximately 1,200 dental professionals from 40 countries. The event focused on clinical strategies and applications in digital implant dentistry, with particular emphasis on the OneGuide digital implant system, which marked its 10th anniversary.
Clinical programme and hands-on training
The scientific programme comprised four sessions covering guided surgery, immediate implant placement in the aesthetic zone, implant surface characteristics, clinical success factors, and alveolar bone reconstruction. A live surgery demonstration showed treatment of an edentulous maxilla case using OneGuide, including prosthetic connection and intra-oral scanning. The final session explored future directions such as sinus lift procedures and aesthetic strategies for full-arch implant rehabilitation. Participants also received hands-on training in topics including efficient implant placement with OneGuide and OneCAS systems, immediate loading protocols using the 122 Taper KIT, minimally invasive sinus approaches, and digital prosthetic workflows.
Global platform for implant dentistry education
The Osstem World Meeting, established in 2008, has developed into a global academic exchange platform held in major cities worldwide. This year's event was conducted in English with simultaneous interpretation in Chinese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese and Thai, reflecting the meeting's international reach and commitment to accessibility for clinicians from diverse regions.
