KATHMANDU, APRIL 5
The third International Implantology Congress of the Nepalese Society of Implant Dentistry (NSID) began here today with the theme 'Biology at the Core: The Foundation of Implant Success.'
Dr Bipul Man Singh, the president of NSID, emphasised that the world is rapidly evolving with technologies and techniques. "As a result, this theme brings us back to the very roots of what we do. It reminds us that long-term implant success is not merely about placement or prosthetics-it is about understanding biology, respecting biology, and working in harmony with biology. Whether we're talking about bone physiology, soft tissue integration, or host response, the science of biology is the true north of our clinical decision-making," he added.
He further stated that this congress is more than just an academic gathering. It is a celebration of collaboration, innovation, and advancement in the field of implant dentistry. It demonstrates how far we have come-and the exciting path that lies ahead.
Similarly, Dr Dinesh Sharma Bhusal, general secretary of NSID, stated that since the foundation of the NSID in 2016, the NSID has been working with a clear mission: to bring together dental professionals practicing implantology under one ethical, scientific, and patient-centred umbrella. "We do national and international conferences to bring leading experts across the world, where they share leading advancements in the field," he said.
According to Dr. Anil Shrestha of the United Kingdom, the conference has brought together the world's leading dental experts 'to do exactly what we do in the UK. "Because NSID has strictly adhered to the highest standards, ensuring the quality of dentistry and inspiring young generations to continue this'.
Dr Neil Pande stated, "Dentistry is evolving on a daily basis, and it's expensive, and to update our professionals on emerging changes and learn from the top experts, we have brought all of them together to do better for our patients."
According to Pande, 97 per cent of the population faces dental problems once in their lifetime. "It is the most common problem after the common cold, which is completely preventable," he said.
"It is preventable if people practice good hygiene habits like brushing and rinsing their teeth on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the diet has changed dramatically even in the most remote areas of the country, as packaged food has reached every nook and cranny. And when a person's eating habits change, it affects everything because the mouth is a reflection of their overall health. Basically, a problem mouth indicates that there is an impact on the rest of the body."
