The 19th MINISH Course brought together 31 dentists in Seoul, including participants from New York City and Seattle, bringing the total number of graduates worldwide to 476.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Held Sept. 12–13 and Sept. 19–20 at MINISH Dental Hospital in Seoul, the 19th MINISH Course concluded after four days of intensive clinical education, marking another step in the development of an international community of dentists trained in the MINISH approach to tooth-preserving restorative dentistry.

Beyond the growing number of graduates, the 19th MINISH Course also demonstrated how the program itself is evolving. Experienced MINISH Providers are taking a larger role in supporting clinical education, while the Course continues to attract dentists from a growing range of markets.
Turning a Restorative Philosophy Into Clinical Practice
At the center of the MINISH Course is a restorative philosophy built around biomimetic principles and preservation of healthy natural tooth structure. The program is designed to translate that philosophy into a structured clinical approach dentists can apply in practice.
The four-day Course combines theoretical education with hands-on training across key stages of the MINISH Protocol, including preparation, bonding, occlusal considerations, placement techniques, and clinical application.
For the 19th Course, the practical component was further strengthened. Sixteen practicing MINISH Providers joined as clinical faculty, providing one-on-one guidance during hands-on sessions and helping participants connect the Course curriculum with real-world clinical application.
Education Beyond a Single Market
The 19th MINISH Course also reflected the growing international reach of MINISH clinical education. Earlier this year, MINISH USA brought its continuing education program directly to North America through a three-day Course at the VITA North America Education Center in California, while the latest Seoul program welcomed dentists from New York and Washington alongside participants from other markets.
As the MINISH Course reaches more dentists internationally, graduates also have the opportunity to become MINISH Providers and join the wider professional network.
The MINISH Provider network currently spans 143 locations worldwide, including 85 in Japan, 41 in Korea, 15 in the United States, and one each in Canada and Singapore. In North America, MINISH Providers are located across major markets including Los Angeles, Orange County, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Vancouver, Canada.
Building a Global Clinical Community Around MINISH
The Course is continuing to expand alongside that growing professional community. In October, approximately 100 Japanese dentists are expected to travel to Korea for a dedicated MINISH Course, representing another major cohort of overseas participants.
Clinical education is only one part of MINISH’s broader ecosystem, which also includes Provider development, standardized protocols, restorative technology, and collaboration among dental professionals. Together, these elements support the application of a shared restorative philosophy across diverse clinical settings and markets.
As the MINISH Course continues to expand, it serves not only as a platform for clinical education but also as a means of connecting dentists across markets through a shared approach to preserving and restoring natural teeth.
