This ITI Education Week, held at Harvard University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, has been designed for clinicians with experience in the field of implant dentistry. The program focuses on comprehensive treatment planning in the form of cases that will be presented, discussed and applied on simulation models. This five-day course includes lectures, live surgeries and live prosthetics. It also includes useful translational research information that has a direct impact on clinical applications, underscoring the evidence-based treatment concepts the school applies.

Learning objectives

• Benefit from actively participating in comprehensive implant treatment planning activities
• Experience the advantages and challenges of digital workflows in implant dentistry
• Plan prosthodontically driven implant placement
• Distinguish the indications for immediate, early, and late implant placement
• Make evidence based decisions about implant loading times
• Understand indications for sinus floor elevation and approaches vs. the use of short implants
• Discuss implant and implant prosthodontics complications, their prevention and treatment
