The International Team for Implantology (ITI) offers the highest quality educational support and a wealth of benefits to enhance your professional activities. In this overview we explain why it is definitely worthwhile for the dental professional to be a Member of the ITI.
The ITI, Straumann’s scientific partner, is a global association of professionals in implant dentistry. In 40 years, the ITI has built a reputation for scientific rigor combined with concern for the welfare of patients. Its objectives are the promotion and dissemination of knowledge about implant dentistry and related fields. The ITI’s purpose is to engage and inspire the global dental profession to strive for excellence in implant dentistry for the benefit of the patient.

The ITI offers you the highest quality educational support and a wealth of benefits to enhance your professional activities.
In its first ever World Symposium to be held entirely online, the ITI takes an innovative approach to the scientific program by giving patients a voice. Entitled “Evidence and Trends for Patient-Centered Solutions: The Challenge of Choice”, this 5-day event from September 1 – 5, 2021 focuses on seven patients and their concerns.
In 2020, the ITI teamed up with IMD Institute for Management Development – a globally top-ranked provider of executive education – and is now offering dental practitioners a customized, online dental practice management course that will help them to maximize their business impact. The first cycle was a great success, so the ITI is happy to offer a second opportunity in 2021 for practice owners and anyone looking to open a practice to pick up valuable know-how.
Research teams depend on funding to be able to carry out their study and arrive at meaningful results. Former ITI Research Committee member Steve Eckert gives a couple of practical tips on how to optimize your chances.
In many countries around the world, dental professionals are required to prove that they have spent a certain amount of time on continuing education in order to maintain their professional license. For many of you, gathering continuing education (CE) hours on an annual basis is the norm and typically you would be picking these up by attending meetings and congresses. The ITI has a number of options with which you can keep CE hours coming in: ITI Study Clubs and the ITI Academy – online and live.
The winners of the André Schroeder Prize 2021: Benjamin R. Coyac, France/Israel and Michael Payer, Austria.
One of the most prestigious awards in dentistry, the André Schroeder Research Prize serves to promote new scientific findings in implant dentistry and related fields. Winning this prize not only allows the researchers to make their work known to a broader public, but also opens doors and opportunities for their career.
The ITI Treatment Guide series is a unique compendium of evidence-based treatment methods in implant dentistry. ITI Treatment Guides show the practitioner how to come to grips with different clinical situations step by step. The focus is on sound diagnostics, evidence-based treatment concepts and predictable treatment outcomes. The ITI Treatment Guide series is published by the ITI in collaboration with Quintessence, a leading publisher in the field of implant dentistry with an outstanding reputation among dental professionals.
One of the ITI’s most popular benefits among its membership are the ITI Study Clubs. Each Study Club meeting represents an opportunity to learn something new and valuable about implant dentistry, meet peers and benefit from their knowledge and experience.
In the context of Straumann's initiative WIN (Women's Implantology Network), we conducted an interview with Charlotte Stilwell, then President-elect of the ITI and now the ITI’s first female President. More than ever, the future success of the ITI will be based on equal consideration of the needs of patients and practitioners.
The ITI recently launched a new platform for implant-dentistry-related views, opinion and information. Written by clinicians for clinicians who provide essential insights into treatment approaches and processes as well as tips and tricks drawn from their daily experience. This is where you will find the fast route to valuable knowledge distilled down into short, accessible shots.
