Prof. Dr. Atiphan Pimkhaokham shared his experience of using X-Guide Dynamic Navigation in implant surgery on the scientific stage of the Hong Kong Association of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, or HKAOMS, in Hong Kong, reflecting the role of Thai dentists in exchanging knowledge in digital dentistry with colleagues at an international level [1].
According to information published on the Dr. Atiphan Pimkhaokham page on 10 April 2026, he was invited to speak at the annual scientific meeting of HKAOMS and shared his experience on the topic “Next-Generation Implant Placement”, focusing on the use of navigation systems in implant surgery, alongside oral surgeons and specialists from many countries [1].
Exchanging knowledge in oral surgery on an international stage
HKAOMS is the professional association of oral and maxillofacial surgeons in Hong Kong, including doctors in training. It aims to promote knowledge and practice, and to build cooperation with professional organisations at home and abroad [2]. This lecture was therefore an opportunity to exchange ideas and clinical experience on the use of digital technology in implant dentistry.
For patients, what matters is a treatment plan that carefully considers the anatomy and the goals of the prosthetic work. Navigation technology is a tool that supports the dentist's work; its use has to suit each case, and it does not guarantee that every patient will have the same result.
Academic experience connected to patient care at Dentopia
Dentopia shares the news of this lecture so that patients and readers can follow Prof. Atiphan's academic work and better understand how digital technology is used in implant dentistry. If you are considering treatment, you can book a consultation with a dentist to assess your oral health and discuss a treatment plan that suits you.
