Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

I’m Dr. Kai Seng Tan, as the President of Asia Pacific Laser Institute (APLI), I am honored to have organized our special offline meeting which will take place on 28th and 29th October 2023 in the beautiful city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

For the first time ever, MegaGen Implant Global and APLI are joining together to introduce Digital Implantology and a wide range of laser wavelengths to revolutionize our daily dental practice, especially in the management of peri-implantitis. 

So we have prepared many wonderful international speakers and exciting topics in an engaging and inspiring format to share this innovative technique to approach painless, efficient, and minimal invasive implant surgery, from pre- surgery to maintenance.

The most exciting feature in this event is that this is the first time Dr. Kwang Bum Park, the MegaGen Implant Global CEO and a world- renowned mentor in implant dentistry will prepare a presentation to share the concepts on advanced implant treatment in Malaysia. 

I believe this meeting will provide you another opportunity to recharge with a new sense of mission and pride in restoring smile for your patients. I look forward to seeing you all at this groundbreaking event.

Dear Distinguished Guests and Friends,

On behalf of the APALMS 2024 World Laser Medicine Conference and the Taiwan Ophthalmology and Optometry Medical Society (TOOMS), we sincerely welcome your participation in this conference.

Laser and photonics technologies have a wide range of applications in ophthalmology, including vision correction and cataract surgery. This year, we are privileged to have leading ophthalmologists presenting on laser surgical procedures and optometry experts discussing non-laser myopia control methods for children. We encourage physicians, nurses, and specialists in related fields to seize this opportunity to enrich their knowledge and clinical experience.

We hope that this academic exchange will foster deeper friendships and collaborations. The success of this meeting would not be possible without your participation.
