President’s Greeting for the First Circular of the 2025 Fukuoka Conference

Dear Members of the Asian Academy of Osseointegration (AAO) and Esteemed Colleagues,

As the president of the AAO, it is my great honor to announce the upcoming academic conference, which will be held on October 25th and 26th, 2025, in Fukuoka City. Fukuoka is a renowned tourist destination in Japan, known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and exceptional cuisine. This event promises to be an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

In addition to my role with the AAO, I also serve as the president of the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology (JSOI), the largest society for dental implants in Japan. I am thrilled to inform you that the 2025 AAO conference will be held jointly with the JSOI’s academic conference. This collaboration between Japan’s largest dental implant society and Asia’s largest international implant society is truly historic and marks a significant milestone in the field of dental implantology.

This joint conference will provide a unique platform for sharing knowledge, fostering collaborations, and advancing the science and practice of dental implants. We anticipate a diverse and dynamic program featuring leading experts from around the world, cutting-edge research presentations, and numerous opportunities for professional development and networking.

We warmly invite all AAO members and any dentists interested in the AAO to join us in Fukuoka for this landmark event. Your participation will undoubtedly contribute to the success of the conference and the advancement of our field.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fukuoka in October 2025.
