Osstem Implant expands CSR initiatives across global markets

Building on programs led by its headquarters in South Korea, the company is implementing locally tailored CSR activities that reflect the specific needs and conditions of each region. Through these efforts, Osstem Implant demonstrates its commitment to sustainable growth alongside local communities beyond its core business operations.

■ Community-based initiatives to improve access to dental care

Osstem Implant is strengthening access to dental care through a range of community-based initiatives worldwide.

In Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye—an area affected by a major earthquake—the company partnered with local organizations, including the Kahramanmaraş Eğitim Vakfı, to support an educational aid project. As part of this initiative, oral hygiene products, including Vussen toothpaste and toothbrushes, were distributed to students at two local schools, helping promote basic hygiene practices and raise awareness of oral health.

In the Philippines, approximately 1,200 residents received free dental treatment and preventive care in collaboration with local healthcare professionals. In Mongolia, oral health campaigns were organized for police officers and their families. Meanwhile, the Indonesian subsidiary continues regular volunteer activities, including visits to orphanages to provide essential supplies and meals.

In Nara, Japan, Osstem Implant donated 350 sets of its interdental brushes to support community oral health initiatives.

■ Strengthening local healthcare infrastructure through clinical education

Clinical education is a key pillar of Osstem Implant’s global CSR strategy, delivered through its OIC (Osstem Implant Training Centers). Rather than providing one-off material support, the company focuses on a knowledge-transfer model that enables local dentists to independently perform implant procedures in their own countries.

In 2024, Osstem Implant conducted 619 sessions of its advanced clinical training program, the Master Course, with approximately 60% held in regions with relatively limited access to dental infrastructure. These efforts contribute to improving clinical capabilities, reducing disparities in dental care, and supporting the long-term sustainability of local healthcare systems.

In India, the company is further supporting the development of future dental professionals by offering scholarships to dental students and expanding clinical seminars.

■ Tailored CSR initiatives reflecting local contexts

Osstem Implant continues to implement customized CSR initiatives that take into account the social and cultural contexts of each country.

In Kazakhstan, the company has operated oral health support programs for individuals who have contributed to local communities and their families. In the United States and Europe, Osstem Implant has supported community-based implant treatment programs by providing products, reinforcing its commitment to social responsibility.

An Osstem Implant representative said, “Through CSR activities that combine education and community support, we aim to contribute to local communities. Moving forward, we will continue to expand our efforts to improve access to dental care and promote sustainable CSR initiatives through our global network.”
