Speaker Profile

Prof. & Dr Leesungbok is Head Professor at the Department of Biomaterials & Prosthodontics, Kyung Hee University School of Dentistry, Seoul, South Korea.

He is also the head at the Center of implant & Dental Remodeling and an immediate past President of Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital at Gangdong, Seoul, South Korea. His specialties are in the areas of Implant Dentistry, Maxillofacial Prosthodontics, and Human Jaw Function & Occlusion. His special interests include Esthetic Dentistry, Magnetic Dentistry, and Sports Dentistry.

He is a board member of the IRPMD (International Research Project for Magnetic Dentistry), and a fellow and education delegate of ITI (International Team for Implantology). He studied in Ohu University (1991-1992) at Koriyama in Japan as an invited scholarship researcher and Nippon Dental University at Niigata (1994) in Japan as a visiting associate professor, and worked for Harvard University School of Dental Medicine (1997-1999) in the USA as a visiting associate professor.

Dr Leesungbok's research focuses on the utilization of magnets in clinical dentistry and on study of magnetic effect to bone formation around dental implants. He is also doing many researches in attempts to find out the relationship between human occlusion and cerebral/neuromuscular system. Over the past 15 years, he has given more than 200 lectures at different professional and scientific meetings/courses and universities both in Korea and throughout the world including the ITI World Symposium and EAO (Euroupean Academy of Osseointegration), and also IADR (International Association of Dental Research).

He was awarded "The Best Academic Thesis Award" at Annual Scientific Meeting on The Korean Academy of Prosthodontics 1992, "The 12th Ko-Hwang Medical Silver Award (Thesis: A study on the normal & abnormal occlusal patterns in adults using the superimposed rubber pattern method)”in 1996, and "The 15th Ko-Hwang Medical Silver Award(Thesis: A finite element stress analysis during experimental loading on the implant-supported prostheses; a scientific designing of KH98 standard mandible for finite element method)" in 1999.

He was also awarded “The Best Education Director on Magnetic Dentistry”, and “Silver Award of The Excellent Thesis on Magnetic Dentistry” International Symposium of IRPMD, Shanghai, China in 2002.

Dental Lecture
Topic : Oral Implantology and Innovation

The purpose of this presentation is to answer the focused question: “How do Computer-Guided Surgery and CAD/CAM implant prostheses in patients with missing teeth, who have one or more dental implants, perform compared to conventionally placed implant as well as conventionally fabricated implant prostheses, when assessing aesthetics, complications (biologic and mechanical), patient satisfaction and risk factors.”. I will mention the PlaneSystem® for capturing and identifying the patient individual occlusal plane and any associated natural asymmetries with the aid of the Natural Head Position (NHP) and the ala-tragus plane. Together with the Face Hunter 3D facial scanner used for photo-realistic 3D digitization of patient faces, it guarantees a planning reliability for the dentist and/or dental technician and the patient, as the tooth restoration can be realized based on the patient’s physiognomy, taking into account bone asymmetries and resulting muscular compensation.

Day 3 - Lecture 10 

Date : 21st April 2019 (Sun)
Time : 11:15 am - 12:15 pm
Venue : Putra World Trade Centre, KL

Dental Workshop
Topic : Advanced Oral Implantology and Innovation

The purpose of this workshop is to answer the focused question: “How do Computer-Guided Surgery including an innovative sinus graft technique and CAD/CAM implant prostheses in patients with missing teeth on the posterior maxilla.”

I will introduce a new maxillary sinus graft technique in which only the inferior/lateral cortical wall of maxillary sinus would be perforated without tearing of maxillary sinus membrane by drilling instead of malleting using a rotary instrument, called S-reamer®(Neobiotec Co., Korea).

As for the prosthodontic procedure, I will show my scientific and clinical experience related to implant supported fixed restorations for the partially and fully edentulous jaws including a situation after sinus graft with S-reamer osteotome technique, and to assess the survival outcome of immediate loading protocols according to their treatment sequence and selected prosthodontic design.

This technique would be a minimally invasive sinus floor elevation procedure and an effective way to achieve immediate loading due to the sinus inferior cortical fixation on the posterior maxilla.
