Osstem Implant broadens global CSR initiatives to improve access to dental care

Introduction / background

SEOUL, South Korea — 8 May 2026. Osstem Implant has expanded its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes internationally, aligning activities with its stated management philosophy of “growing together with customers.” The company reports that it is adapting headquarters-developed initiatives to local socio‑cultural contexts with the objective of improving access to oral healthcare in regions with limited dental infrastructure.

What was carried out

Osstem Implant’s reported activities in multiple countries included community outreach, donations of oral‑hygiene products, volunteer services and clinical education support. Specific initiatives described by the company were:

• Turkey (Kahramanmaraş): Partnership with local organisations to deliver oral‑health education at two schools in a city affected by the 2023 earthquake; distribution of toothpaste and toothbrushes to students.
• Philippines: Collaboration with local healthcare professionals to provide free dental treatment and preventive care to approximately 1,200 patients.
• Indonesia: Ongoing volunteer activity by the local subsidiary, including visits to orphanages with provision of meals and essential supplies.
• Japan (Nara): Oral‑health screening and consultation activities and donation of 350 sets of interdental brushes to support community oral health.
• Mongolia and Kazakhstan: Community oral‑health campaigns and support programmes targeted at police officers and public‑service employees and their families.
• North America and Europe: Continued provision of implant products to support community‑based implant treatment programmes.

Key findings reported

As part of its focus on clinical capacity building, Osstem Implant highlighted activity in education and training:

• In 2024 the company conducted a total of 619 sessions of the Osstem Master Course advanced clinical training programme, with roughly 60% of those sessions delivered in regions the company characterises as having limited access to dental care.
• In India, Osstem reported a scholarship programme intended to support the development of future dental professionals and to increase accessibility to clinical education.

Relevance for dental practice

Osstem positions its CSR work as combining material support with efforts to strengthen local clinical skills through training centres and scholarship programmes. For practising clinicians, the reported emphasis on advanced clinical training and regional capacity building may be of interest where local partnerships enable clinicians to deliver implant therapy and preventive services more independently. The company also reports continued contributions of implant products to community programmes in higher‑income markets.

Context and limitations

The activities and figures described are reported by Osstem Implant as part of its CSR communications. They describe outreach, donation and education programmes rather than clinical research. The company states its intent to continue expanding these initiatives through its global network.
