Professor Dr. Sajee Sattayut, DDS, PhD, Director of the Hub of Knowledge in Orofacial Laserology and faculty member at the Faculty of Dentistry, Khon Kaen University, visited Vietnam for a series of lectures and academic exchanges with the Hub’s International Organization Networks. The visit allowed her to share clinical experience, academic knowledge, and perspectives on the development of dental laserology with international academic and professional communities.
During 11–14 May 2026, Professor Dr. Sajee Sattayut was invited as a speaker at The 47th Asia Pacific Dental Congress, the 2nd Hanoi International Dental Exhibition and Congress (APDC–HAIDEC 2026) in Hanoi, Vietnam. The congress was organized by the Vietnam Odonto-Stomatology Association under the theme “Integrating Scientific Advances into Dental Practice.” She together with Assoc Prof Do Thi Thao, the leader of network of hub delivered a lecture entitled “From Laser Dentistry to Orofacial Laserology: Beyond Devices, Clinical Reality and Lifelong Education in Asia Pacific.” The lecture explored how knowledge in laser dentistry can move beyond device-based applications toward a broader framework of laser-based care for oral and facial health. It emphasized that dental lasers should be understood not only as technologies, but also as clinical tools that must be considered alongside real clinical conditions, evidence-based practice, and lifelong learning among dentists and dental personnel. The congress also offered an important opportunity to exchange academic perspectives with dental professionals, researchers, and experts from across the Asia-Pacific region.
On 15–16 May 2026, Professor Dr. Sajee Sattayut also visited Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, one of the Hub’s International Organization Networks, where she delivered a lecture to dental students entitled “From Clinical Problems to Laser Solutions: How to Choose the Right Approach.” The lecture discussed how clinical problems can guide the selection of appropriate laser-based approaches by integrating academic knowledge, clinical experience, and evidence-based practice. It also highlighted the importance of selecting lasers according to clinical indications, patient context, and treatment goals to support safe and effective care.
These activities reflect the role of the Hub of Knowledge in Orofacial Laserology in bringing together knowledge, research, clinical experience, and good practices in the appropriate and safe use of dental lasers. They also show the ongoing efforts of the Hub, together with the Faculty of Dentistry at Khon Kaen University, to connect academic knowledge and clinical experience with professional communities across the Asia-Pacific region.
The collaboration with Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy further strengthens the Hub’s International Organization Networks through professional exchange, knowledge sharing, capacity development, and future research collaboration between institutions. It also reflects the growth of an orofacial laserology network built on trust, sincerity, and a shared commitment to academic development.
The Hub of Knowledge in Orofacial Laserology continues to promote academic collaboration in dental laserology at both national and international levels, so that knowledge in this field can contribute to patients, the public, and the dental profession in the long term.
