Since its inception in 2004, Osstem Meeting has been held annually except for 2019, when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. From 2020, with the establishment of online broadcasting infrastructure, participation expanded to include overseas dentists, and from 2021, the event frequency increased to twice a year.

Osstem Meeting 2023 Seoul, held over two days on the 18th and 19th at the Magok Central Research Institute building in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, saw on-site participation from about 1,000 dentists, dental hygienists, and dental technicians. The live broadcast videos streamed in multiple languages through Osstem Implant’s proprietary dental portal, DENALL, garnered 120,000 views.

Osstem Meeting covers the latest dental clinical trends at every session. This event focused on the theme 'Short & Narrow Implant,' discussing ways to overcome obstacles in implant treatment such as severely resorbed alveolar bone, narrow bone width in the buccolingual direction, and insufficient space mesiodistally. The program included four lectures, two live surgeries, and a discussion session.

Osstem Meeting is regularly held not only in Korea but also in various overseas locations where Osstem Implant has expanded. In the second half of this year, Osstem Meetings were hosted by local subsidiaries in Kazakhstan, Singapore, China, and India.

Osstem Implant has also hosted the international academic event 'Osstem World Meeting.' First held in Seoul in 2008, the Osstem World Meeting was not held from 2019 to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but resumed last May in Istanbul, Turkey, after three years. This year’s Osstem World Meeting attracted over 1,200 dentists from 32 countries.

Next year’s Osstem World Meeting is scheduled to be held in Seoul. It will be the first time in 13 years since 2011 that the event is held in Seoul, and the first time in 10 years since it was last held in Korea, in Busan in 2014. Osstem Implant has begun practical preparations for the event, which will take place in April next year at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

An Osstem Implant official stated, "Through the Osstem World Meeting held in Seoul, we plan to share Korea’s advanced dental clinical know-how in implant surgery with dentists worldwide and widely showcase the company’s research and development (R&D) capabilities as we advance toward becoming the global No. 1 dental company."
