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.

Osstem Implant announces call for abstracts for London event—and CAS-KIT prize

PRAGUE, Czech Republic: Osstem Implant is calling for abstracts for poster presentations at the 2024 Osstem–Hiossen Meeting in Europe, to be held at Wembley Stadium in London in the UK on 22 and 23 November. Applicants have until 30 September to submit their research abstracts for a chance to win their own Crestal Approach Sinus KIT (CAS-KIT). This event will feature an extensive scientific programme presented by 16 world-leading specialists in dental implantology, offering a great opportunity for networking and reconnecting with colleagues and friends.

The CAS-KIT is highly valued by experienced implant dentists worldwide for its safety, precision and ease of use. An innovative surgical solution designed to simplify the lifting of the Schneiderian membrane from a crestal approach, the CAS-KIT features several unique components that enhance the safety, efficiency and ease of the sinus lift procedure.

The tip of the kit’s specially designed drill, the CAS-Drill, has an inverse conical shape that creates a bone lid between the drill and the membrane which works as a barrier to prevent the tearing of the membrane, rapidly and safely elevating the membrane while drilling. The drill has a unique stopper system that allows for precise osteotomy depth control, preventing over-drilling into the sinus cavity. The bone removed adheres to the drill and can be collected as bone grafting material.

Additionally, the CAS-KIT includes a hydraulic lift system that uses hydraulic pressure to lift the Schneiderian membrane safely and evenly on all sides. The Y-connector component allows the elevation of the membrane above two osteotomies simultaneously.

Furthermore, the kit’s new bone carrier system facilitates the precise transfer and placement of bone grafting materials. This system consists of a funnel-shaped bone carrier that holds particulate bone grafting material, facilitating its easy insertion into the maxillary sinus through the osteotomy; a bone condenser, which compacts the grafting material into the maxillary sinus; and a bone spreader, which helps to distribute the inserted material evenly to the sides.

This combination of components ensures a precise and efficient approach to sinus lift. With its simple and intuitive design, the CAS-KIT offers an indispensable tool for dental professionals seeking reliable and effective sinus lift solutions. The kit addresses many of the concerns of sinus lift procedures due to the confined space and the intricate anatomy of the maxillary sinus. It provides precise control to avoid perforating the delicate membrane and the resulting complications. It avoids contamination of the bone grafting materials and supports accurate placement of the materials.
