I am Kyoo-Ok Choi, chief executive officer of Global Osstem.
Allow me to express my appreciation to the dentists visiting our Osstem website. As a dentist myself, I salute all dentists who are dedicated to ensuring the dental health of people worldwide.
Thanks to improved income levels and due to advancing age, implants have rapidly spread throughout the world as an innovative dental science. Such prevalence stems from the growing need for implants as a general form of dental treatment.
Following the 2004 Osstem Meeting held in Seoul under the theme "Quicker and more aesthetic," the 2007 Osstem Meeting is expected to be attended by at least 12,000 participants. As an international implant symposium for implantologists, the Osstem Meeting has grown into a world-class implant academic festival.
Osstem refuses to rest on its laurels, however. In fact, the company decided to host the "Global Osstem Meeting" in different countries to allow more dentists in each country to attend; thus ensuring their convenience.
After the Taiwan meeting this July, the "Global Osstem Meeting 2007" is expected to be held subsequently in the US, followed by Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia, and Germany. During each Global Osstem Meeting, top speakers from each host country and overseas guest speakers will present advanced lectures and live surgeries.
We hope each "Global Osstem Meeting" serves as an educational opportunity for the participants to obtain top implant clinical knowledge and to learn up-to-date trends. Ultimately, we expect to establish a sound culture that creates an atmosphere conducive for learning throughout the entire global dental field.
Come and share good implant clinical knowledge with other international dentists. We hope to see you in each host country during the Osstem Meeting.
Thank you very much.
