About
Dr. Hyung Jun Kim is a pioneering oral and maxillofacial surgeon whose research centers on advanced reconstructive techniques for patients with oral cancer. His most notable contribution is the development and validation of the “Jaw in a Day®” (JIAD) protocol, a revolutionary single-stage approach that combines jaw reconstruction with immediate dental implant placement and prosthetic restoration. This technique eliminates the need for multiple surgeries, dramatically improving patients’ quality of life by restoring both function and aesthetics in a single operation. In a landmark 2025 case series, Dr. Kim demonstrated the feasibility of combining JIAD with robotic neck dissection, achieving comparable outcomes to traditional methods while reducing surgical morbidity. With over 3 citations already for this recent work, his research is rapidly gaining recognition for its potential to transform head and neck cancer care. Dr. Kim’s work bridges the gap between oncologic safety and functional rehabilitation, establishing him as a leader in the emerging field of single-stage jaw reconstruction. His innovative approach offers new hope for patients facing the devastating consequences of oral cancer surgery.
