Prof. Hyo-sang Park | Dentistry | Research Excellence Award
Kyungpook National University | South Korea
Professor Hyo-Sang Park, DDS, MSD, PhD, is a distinguished orthodontist and academic leader with over three decades of contributions to orthodontic science, education, and clinical innovation. He currently serves as Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthodontics at the School of Dentistry, Kyungpook National University (KNU), Daegu, Republic of Korea, where he has played a pivotal role in advancing both fundamental and applied orthodontic research. Professor Park’s research career is deeply rooted in biological responses to orthodontic tooth movement, with early work focusing on immunohistochemical analysis of neurotransmitter expression during orthodontic force application. His experimental studies using animal models, particularly rats, have significantly enhanced the understanding of craniofacial growth, bone remodeling, and tissue adaptation under orthodontic conditions. These foundational investigations have provided important insights into the biological mechanisms underlying orthodontic treatment efficiency and stability. A central and defining theme of Professor Park’s research is the development and clinical application of titanium microscrews and micro-implant anchorage systems (MIA). For over 24 years, he has been a leading researcher and clinician in this field, conducting extensive animal experiments and clinical trials to optimize micro-implant design, placement protocols, and biomechanical applications. His work has contributed substantially to the global adoption of microscrew anchorage as a reliable and minimally invasive solution for complex orthodontic movements, reducing the need for patient compliance and extraoral appliances. Professor Park’s research excellence has been internationally recognized, including the CDABO Case Report of the Year Award (2005) from the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, as well as multiple honors from the Korean Association of Orthodontists.

Dr. Jibin Joy Daniel is an accomplished dental professional and academician currently serving as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthodontics at Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences, Thiruvalla, Pathanamthitta, Kerala. With a strong academic foundation, clinical expertise, and a passion for advancing orthodontic science, Dr. Daniel has distinguished himself as a promising researcher and educator in the field of dental and orthodontic sciences. He obtained his Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from the Government Dental College, Kottayam, under the Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS) in 2018, where he graduated with First Class honors. Driven by a desire to specialize in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, he pursued his Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) at A.J. Institute of Dental Sciences, Mangalore, affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Karnataka, where he secured First Class distinction and achieved an impressive 9th Rank in the university examinations. Furthering his academic and professional pursuits, Dr. Daniel became a Fellow of the Academy of General Education, Manipal University, and earned certification in Advanced Orthodontics from Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea—an international recognition that reflects his global outlook on orthodontic innovation. He is also a Fellow of the Pierre Fauchard Academy (USA), a prestigious honor awarded to dental professionals for exemplary contributions to dentistry. Dr. Daniel’s commitment to research is reflected in his numerous scientific publications and conference presentations. He has authored more than 25 publications in reputed international journals, covering diverse areas such as orthodontic treatment mechanics, smile aesthetics, airway management, functional appliances, and genetic research. His ICMR-funded project on RUNX2 gene nucleotide polymorphism in skeletal class II and class III malocclusion underscores his dedication to genetic and molecular approaches in orthodontics. His contributions have been recognized with the ISSN International Best Research Award (2025) and his role as a speaker at the International Conference on Cosmetology, Dubai (2025) further highlights his growing international presence. Dr. Daniel’s academic journey is complemented by an active engagement in scientific conventions and professional societies. He has presented posters and papers at multiple Indian Orthodontic Society (IOS) PG Conventions and participated in OrthoByte 2020, where he also competed in quiz sessions. As a registered member of both the Kerala State Dental Council (Reg. No. 21012) and the Indian Orthodontic Society (Reg. No. LM 5420), he continues to uphold professional excellence and ethical standards in practice and teaching. His clinical and teaching philosophy emphasizes patient-centered care, evidence-based orthodontic interventions, and mentorship of young dental professionals. Known for his excellent communication skills, compassion, and professional integrity, Dr. Daniel ensures his students and patients alike benefit from his depth of knowledge and clinical acumen.
