Rescue
The first challenge to the standard: designed for the situations where conventional systems reached their limits.
Daegu, 2002. A periodontist named Kwang-Bum Park believed evolution was not enough.
He never asked how to build a better implant. He asked how to achieve a better outcome for the patient.
The implant was simply the answer. Not a new product: a new way of thinking.
A hospital, a factory and a network where innovation is tested, validated and shared. That is where MINEC begins.
For decades, three great innovations shaped the industry: osseointegration, the internal connection and surface technology. Each one changed the way clinicians treated their patients. But over time, innovation became evolution.
At MegaGen, Dr. Kwang-Bum Park believed evolution was not enough. A periodontist trained at Kyungpook National University, in 2002 he founded MIR Dental Hospital and MegaGen itself with one fixed idea: less invasive, more efficient implants.
When conventional systems reached their limits, he challenged the standard. The result was Rescue Implant: not just a new product, a new way of thinking. That moment became the foundation of what we now call disruptive innovation, and the commitment that created MIR Dental Hospital also created an international network of clinical research where innovation is tested, validated and shared. That is where MINEC begins.
