SEOUL, South Korea: On 21 April, Osstem Implant held the first session of its virtual conference, the Osstem Meeting Online, which achieved over 95,000 total live cumulative views from more than 60 countries within 2.5 hours. This series of live-streamed symposia, which create a virtual conference experience for dental professionals around the globe, will culminate in a session on 27 June that will feature a socially sustainable fundraising campaign.

The world is holding its breath in the times of the coronavirus. The COVID-19 crisis is having a profound impact on social life and poses acute economic challenges for many industries, and the dental industry is no exception. Many events, including conferences and conventions, in the field are being cancelled or postponed. Osstem Implant too has announced the postponement of its 13th annual global symposium, the 2020 Osstem World Meeting in Istanbul in Turkey, to next year.

Driving a digital transition of dental conferences

At the same time, however, by employing high technology and new technical solutions for digitalisation, Osstem Implant is taking a crucial leap towards the new era of implantology. Since 2018, Osstem Implant has already been providing dental professionals with opportunities to participate in its annual global meeting by offering live-streaming services. Based on its years of experience in digital transformation, Osstem Implant invites dental professionals around the world to an entirely virtual global conference experience this year. The Osstem Meeting Online will run until 27 June 2020, and the entire programme, including nine lectures and five live surgeries, will come alive via its own interactive live-streaming platform.

Hoping that the global situation will get better, we provide the ultimate virtual live conference experience this year, bringing dental professionals of the world closer to innovative ways of living together, Osstem Implant stated.

Knowledge transfer through real-time interaction

Whether they are at entry level and keen to learn or experienced dental professionals seeking a new challenge, attendees will find relevant standard and highly advanced live surgeries and comprehensive seminars by world-renowned speakers. Allowing the maximum knowledge transfer through real-time interaction between speakers and attendees, the first session on 21 April featured two live surgeries. Covering rare cases of implant placement in partially and completely edentulous patients aged over 70, it successfully delivered first-class implant treatment educational content to participants. All attendees had the opportunity to pose real-time questions and engage further with the speakers and other participants after the session.

Towards solidarity in dental implantology

On 27 June, the conference will celebrate its grand finale with a live surgery by Dr Marco Tallarico from Italy, and this will be combined with a socially sustainable fundraising campaign, in which the speaker, Osstem Implant and all attendees will actively participate and engage with one another. The entire amount of the fund collected will be donated to an organisation in Italy for support in overcoming the COVID-19 crisis.

Register now

Next sessions will be held on 12 May and 4, 18 and 27 June. Online registration for the Osstem Meeting Online will remain open until 27 June. More information about the meeting and registration can be found here or via the social media channels of Osstem Implant.

LISBON, Portugal: Osstem Implant is preparing a broad programme for the 33rd annual congress of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO), which will take place in Lisbon in Portugal from 24 to 26 September. Osstem’s programme will combine scientific discussion, hands-on education and the presentation of its new KS implant line-up. It will include clinical sessions, interactive booth activities and an introduction to new additions to Osstem’s implant portfolio.

An early educational highlight will be the EAO My first implant session on 24 September, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., which Osstem is supporting. Organised by the EAO Junior Committee, the initiative combines theoretical and practical education for clinicians at the beginning of their implant training and reflects Osstem’s long-standing focus on structured clinical education.

At the booth, the focus will shift from lectures to hands-on activities. Participants will be able to explore treatment concepts and workflows in implant dentistry, guided surgery and guided bone regeneration. Interactive activities will include a badge-scanning event and a stamp tour covering different areas of the Osstem portfolio.

One of the key moments in Lisbon will take place on 25 September, during the lunch break from 12:30 to 12:40 p.m., when Marta Pinto, marketing manager at Osstem Implant Portugal, will present “KS 3: The new cornerstone for the next decade” as part of the EAO Innovation Hub. As Portugal is hosting this year’s EAO congress, Pinto will represent the local Osstem team and provide insights into this important new development. The presentation will introduce the KS 3 implant and provide a focused look at the thinking behind its development. The wider KS implant line, making its European debut at EAO 2026, also includes KS 3T and KS 5, which are designed for different clinical indications. The Lisbon programme will provide the first opportunity in Europe to see how the three designs expand Osstem’s implant offering.

Another central programme point will be Osstem’s industry forum on 26 September from 12:45 to 1:45 p.m. Drs Silvio Mario Meloni, Darko Božić and Marco Tallarico will discuss “Sinus augmentation revisited: Rationale, innovation and clinical guidelines for modern implant therapy.” The session will address rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla, focusing on case selection, treatment planning and surgical strategies, including crestal sinus elevation and controlled techniques, as well as the role of digital planning and guided workflows in improving precision, safety and clinical outcomes.

The timing also coincides with the approach of a company milestone. Founded in South Korea in 1997, Osstem will mark its 30th anniversary next year. The KS line-up reflects a broader effort to build on established clinical experience while continuing to develop products, workflows and education.

That emphasis on clinical exchange will continue at the Osstem Europe Meeting 2026 in Prague on 13 and 14 November, preceded by pre-congress courses on 12 November. Under the theme “Mastering the unexpected: Pathways from complications to predictable success”, the meeting will address the prevention, recognition and management of complications in implant dentistry. International speakers will share practical strategies, approaches to clinical decision-making and lessons from challenging cases. Programme details and registration are available at osstem.eu/osstem-europe-meeting-2026.
