Dr. Prajak and the Rajavithi Hospital team won the Semifinalist award in the Medical Innovation Competition
On February 15th and 16th, 2025, Dr. Prajak Jariyapongpaiboon and the Rajavithi Hospital screw team received the Semifinalist award for Medical Innovation and Honorable Mention Poster Session at the Medical Innovation Hackathon 2025
“Small screw pins” are used at Rajavithi Hospital in conjunction with orthodontic treatment in cases of complex or very abnormal teeth to ensure good occlusion, efficient chewing, and aesthetic appeal. They feature a design that allows dentists to more easily apply them in their clinics. They have a high success rate and can replace expensive imports from overseas, saving orthodontic patients significant costs
The key advantage of the “mini screw pins” lies in their development and design, which are designed to be easily applied by dentists in general clinics. The process is straightforward and has a high success rate. Furthermore, this innovation can replace expensive imported orthodontic screw pins, resulting in significant savings for orthodontic patients. This aligns with Rajavithi Hospital’s policy of developing quality and accessible medical services for all
Winning an award at the Medical Innovation Hackathon 2025 is a testament to the quality and potential of the micro-screw as a medical innovation that can truly address the needs and solve problems in dentistry. It also brings pride and recognition to Rajavithi Hospital and the Thai medical community as a whole
