Yonsei University Dental University Hospital will open a global dental innovation medical technology demonstration support center and begin full-fledged empirical support for global dental device innovation.

On the 4th, the Yonsei Global Dental Innovation Medical Technology Demonstration Support Center (Center Director Chung Clinic) held an opening ceremony at Yonsei University Dental University Hospital.

The Global Innovative Medical Technology Empirical Support Center project is organized by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Health Industry Promotion Agency to promote the entry and commercialization of medical devices at home and abroad.




Yonsei University Dental University Hospital was selected in this project in the field of dental medical devices such as dental diagnosis, treatment devices, and high-tech materials, with a professor of periodontology and a doctor in charge of the project, and a research fund of 3.23 billion won will be provided for five years.

The dental innovation medical technology demonstration support center supports the safety and effectiveness of innovative dental technology to be demonstrated and distributed in actual medical sites. By utilizing the clinical infrastructure of each hospital affiliated with each center, it strengthens the empirical evaluation of dental medical devices throughout the period, and helps to achieve excellent performance of highly innovative medical devices early so that they can be commercialized quickly.

Yonsei Global Dental Innovation Medical Technology Demonstration Support Center is a global integrated dental innovation medical technology specialization support center in cooperation with global clinical institutions such as Zurich, Switzerland, Madrid, Spain, and Harvard, USA.




Yonsei Global Dental Innovation Medical Technology Empirical Support Center aims to establish a global network and integrated full-cycle empirical support center to respond to regulations on domestic dental innovation medical devices. It plans to establish a hospital-based professional empirical support system with global capabilities and play a practical role in expanding the domestic and international market of dental devices by supporting domestic medical device products. In addition, it plans to promote commercialization of medical devices by operating full-cycle technical support for innovative dental devices.

"This task will be an important opportunity to strengthen the global competitiveness of domestic dental devices and promote the commercialization of innovative technologies. We will make efforts to make Korean dental devices competitive in the European market, where MDR regulations are being strengthened by actively supporting multi-center clinical research and actual use evaluation using the global network that Dental University Hospital has built up for a long time.
