Thank you's from Dr. Chen



In 1998, when I first introduced Hydraulic Sinus Condensing (HSC) (utilizing water pressure to loosen up the sinus membrane) at the American Academy of Periodontology annual meeting, many people did not believe it was possible or feasable.

Despite all the resistances and rejections from our colleagues, these six people shared my vision and passion for the future of implant dentistry, and stood behind me from the very beginning. I would like to personally show my appreciation and gratitude for their continued support to both DIILV and the future of Dentistry.
Thank You.

Since 1988, and throughout my career, I have been fortunate enough to be mentored by some of the world's leading experts in implant dentistry. These people shared their knowledge with me and opened my eyes to the potentials of dental implants. They mentored me in my techniques, and gave me the courage to stand in front of my peers and communicate these benefits to others, in a world that had previously resisted, and even shunned this technology. Although they may not know how much they have influenced me, I would like to say that these people have changed my world, and in turn allowed me to do my part to change the world of implant dentistry. I will always consider these people my mentors, and I will be forever grateful.
Thank You.
