Dr. Senichi Suzuki is a distinguished leader in the field of implant dentistry. He served as the past President ( 2019-2020 ) of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), the world’s largest professional organization dedicated to implantology. Being a past president further solidified his global influence in the advancement of implant-based therapies.

Dr. Suzuki earned both his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and PhD from Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan, where he has also been a Clinical Professor. His expertise extends to the area of immediate loading dental implants, and he is a recognized authority in the photofunctionalization of implants—a technique that enhances osseointegration, particularly for immediate loading applications. This innovative approach has made significant contributions to improving implant success rates and patient outcomes.

He is the author of multiple textbooks on immediate loading implants, published by Quintessence Publishing in both Japanese and English, and is regarded as an expert in his field. Additionally, Dr. Suzuki has held academic positions globally, including as an adjunct professor at the University of Southern California (USC) and an Honorary Professor at Yantai Stomatological Hospital in China.

A respected figure in the dental community, Dr. Suzuki also holds leadership roles such as Board Regent for the Academy of Dentistry International (ADI) and President of the Ebina Dental Association in Japan.

Throughout his career, Dr. Suzuki has been committed to elevating the standards of implant dentistry through education, research, and clinical practice. His work continues to inspire the next generation of implantologists worldwide.

Lecture Title: Uses and Advantages of Photofunctionalized Dental Implants

 

Abstract:

Photofunctionalized dental implants represent a significant advancement in implant dentistry, leveraging light-mediated surface modifications to enhance osseointegration and clinical outcomes. This innovative technique involves the exposure of implant surfaces to ultraviolet (UV) light, altering their physicochemical properties by increasing hydrophilicity, reducing organic contaminants, and enhancing surface energy. These changes promote rapid and robust integration of implants with surrounding bone tissue.
