3rd Frontiers Forum on Next-Generation Biomaterials in DentalMedicine 2025

Distinguished Experts, Scholars, and Esteemed Colleagues,

The "3rd Frontiers Forum on Next-Generation Biomaterials in Dental Medicine 2025" , jointly hosted by the Aos&cdc, Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong and the Hospital of Stomatology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, will be held grandly in the historic city of Xi'an from May 9th to 10th, 2025.

Centered on the theme "Innovation-Translation-Collaboration: The Next Decade of Dental Biomaterials" and guided by the slogan "Smart Matters, Smiles Ignite" , this forum upholds the principle of "Academic Excellence Driving Industry-Academia Synergy." We warmly invite globally renowned leaders in translational dental biomaterials to gather in Xi'an, a city where ancient wisdom converges with modern innovation to collectively envision the future trajectory of the field over the coming decade.

This forum focuses on four frontier directions: artificial intelligence, drug delivery, regenerative oral medicine, and 3D printing and digital dentistry. We are honored to invite leading scholars in the field of translational medicine of dental biomaterials around the world to share how to shift from the laboratory to clinical settings through keynote speeches, roundtable discussions, and industry-academia-research matchmaking sessions, exploring intelligent, precise and sustainable oral health solutions together.

From the civilization convergence of the Silk Road to the openness and inclusiveness of the "Belt and Road Initiative," Xi'an has always witnessed humanity's eternal pursuit of health and technology. In this city steeped in millennia of wisdom, we propose:

Innovation as engine - Break through the technological barriers in material design and clinical applications.

Translation as bond - Build a collaborative innovation ecosystem linking industry, academia, research, and healthcare to facilitate transformation.

Collaboration as bridge - Create a global cooperation network that transcends geographical and cultura boundaries.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we extend our sincerest invitation to colleagues worldwide. Together, through cross-disciplinary exchange and robust industry-academia partnerships, let us advance the future of dental biomaterials innovation!
