New Delhi: Osstem Implant, the world’s third-largest dental implant company, is expanding clinical and digital dentistry education across India as part of its enhanced corporate social responsibility initiatives. The move aims to provide broader patient access to safe and modern dental treatments at reasonable costs.
To advance clinical training, Osstem established the Osstem Implant Training Center (OIC) in India with a standardized, practice-focused curriculum. Globally, more than 120,000 dentists have completed Osstem’s clinical programs, while in India, 10,466 dentists had graduated from OIC India as of August 2025, making it the second-largest program worldwide after China. In 2024 alone, 1,249 dentists completed courses, with an additional 856 graduates by August 2025.
Osstem is also advancing education in digital dentistry. In August, Dr YinShik Hur, Director of Digital Dentistry and author of Atlas of Digital Dentistry, conducted an intensive digital workflow course. In September, Prof. Marco Tallarico, an implantology expert, led a two-day program in Mumbai on “Full Arch Rehabilitation from Planning to Restorations,” covering CBCT interpretation, intraoral scanning, surgical guide design, and hands-on immediate implant placement.
The training initiatives extend social value beyond knowledge transfer. By serving dentists in urban and rural areas, OIC India improves access to high-quality implant treatments in regions with limited dental care. Clinics led by OIC India graduates report strong clinical outcomes, enhancing patient quality of life and supporting the broader development of India’s dental healthcare ecosystem.
Osstem also hosts the annual “Osstem Meeting” in India, where clinical experts and dentists share the latest trends and insights. Around 400 dentists attended the Bengaluru event in July, with approximately 1,300 participating in September. Next year, the meetings are planned in major cities including Kolkata, Chandigarh, and Ahmedabad.
"Education is the foundation of better dental care," said Heewon Park, Managing Director of Osstem Implant India. "By providing world-class training to Indian dentists, we are strengthening clinical competencies while fulfilling our social responsibilities. We will continue to do our utmost so that more patients in India can benefit from high-quality dental treatment."
Dentists can apply for OIC India programs through Osstem Implant India’s social media channels or their local sales representatives.
