While we protect your data against unauthorized access by others, you must make sure that you have obtained permission from your patient to enter it on our systems. Depending on local legal regulations (for example, in the European Union), you may need explicit written consent from your patient before you can share their data on a third party system. The ITI does not assume any responsibility for the data you upload to your Case Cloud.

The ownership of the data will always remain with you (on behalf of the patient who is the data origin).  The ITI will never claim any rights or ownership pertaining to this data. We only host the data for you.

The data (text and images) that you provide are stored in your Case Cloud case. The data are transmitted via a secure connection and remain protected, which means only you have access unless you share the case with someone else or change the access permission settings.

We regularly update and patch our systems to ensure their compliance with current security standards. The data you enter/upload are stored on our own servers and can only be accessed through tunneled sessions via your user account. If you do not forward your account details to others, your data are safe with us.

When you share a case with another user, the user is granted read permission to your case. This means that they can access your case through their personal Case Cloud in the area “Cases shared with me”. You can discontinue their access at any time by removing them from the list of users with whom you share your case.

Only you have access to the data unless you share the case with someone else. Before making your case data available to others, make sure that you have obtained your patient’s permission to do so. In some countries (for example in the European Union) explicit patient consent is required before any data can be shared.

When you delete a case, you will erase all records of the case.  The case will be permanently removed from our system and become irretrievable.

All diagnostic and clinical data (e.g. texts, images, videos) uploaded or submitted to our website are voluntary and any personal information relating to patients must be anonymized unless documented informed consent has previously been obtained from the patient (any recipient of health care services). You can find more information in the Terms of Use.

The print version of the GOMI is no longer available for purchase and is out of print. An electronic version of the book is still available. Visit the Quintessence Publishing website for more information and to inquire about potential future availability of the printed version.

The ITI provides the GOMI database in English only. Print and electronic versions of the GOMI are also available in German, Italian, Japanese and Chinese and can be ordered from Quintessence Publishing, depending on availability.

If you think that GOMI definitions are inaccurate or outdated, you can contact Quintessence Publishing via their website.

Any feedback regarding the GOMI and potential corrections or additions should be sent directly to the publisher. You can contact Quintessence Publishing via their website.

The ITI unites people around the world who all share a common goal: to promote and disseminate specialist knowledge. A uniform brand design expresses the team spirit and cooperation shared by these people. Please follow these guidelines whenever creating ITI communications materials.

The lecture templates are provided to ITI Study Club Directors and Speakers for use in ITI Study Clubs.

The ITI Study Club presentations and videos are intended for use at ITI Study Club meetings.

The presenter is free to modify the format and duration of the presentation to suit the educational requirements of the audience. To ensure a relatively uniform distribution of information throughout the ITI community, however, the content and principles contained within the presentation should not be altered in any substantial way.

The only difference between the Keynote Presentation (Mac/iOS) and the PowerPoint Presentation is the file type.

Access to this area is limited to specific functions within the ITI.

The ITI Board of Directors decides on the  fellowship nominations received twice (Spring/Fall) a year.

A current CV including information about education and positions as well as lectures given (if applicable), published articles in the field of  implant dentistry (if  applicable) and/or mentoring activities in the past 5 years. 

SAC stands for S(traightforward), A(dvanced) and C(omplex). The SAC framework was developed by the ITI to help practitioners assess the risks and complexity of clinical cases by providing normative classification guidelines based on scientific high-level evidence.

No classification can adequately address cases or outcomes that deviate significantly from the norm. In this context, "normative" relates to the classification that conforms to the norm, or standard, for a given clinical situation in implant dentistry and thus to the most likely classification of a case based on contextual assumptions (e.g. patients' medical conditions are not compromised or are appropriately addressed, the clinician and the implant team are adequately skilled, recommended protocols are followed etc.)

None of the data you enter in our system to classify your cases is permanently stored if you make a standalone case assessment. If you use the SAC Assessment Tool as part of the Case Cloud, the system will automatically add the information you provide to your case documentation.

The SAC framework as established in the 2009 Quintessence publication looks at surgical and prosthodontic case assessments separately. It is not currently possible to make combined assessments.

Although the modifier values used to determine the additional complexity and risk do not have a direct impact on the basic normative case classification, some of them can have a considerable influence on the overall demands and risks of a case. If the system indicates that there is an elevated risk based on the combined additional modifier values you have entered, you need to factor this into the overall interpretation of the assessment result.

You can generate a PDF report of your case assessments at the end of the assessment process when the final case classification is displayed. Valid ITI membership is required to make use of this feature. Please log in before starting your assessment.

All ITI Fellows, Speakers and Study Club Directors have access to this area. We would like to encourage you to take advantage of the materials provided here and let others know that it is available to them.

You can use the materials provided here in any Speaker activity you carry out for the ITI. If you use the files in another context or for another purpose, clearly indicate their source. If you want to use images or tables in this repository for any print publication issued by a third-party publisher, you need to obtain explicit written consent from the ITI to do so. Such inquiries should be sent to ITI Headquarters.

If you have interesting materials to share, please send them to us. When doing so, you need to assert that you own the full rights to this material and that it does not infringe on the rights of potential third parties. We will evaluate your content after receiving it. All contributions are welcome but there is no guarantee that your material will be included.

If you think that something useful is missing from this database and you would like to see it added, get in touch with us. We are constantly working to improve this collection of Speaker materials and any support to make it better is appreciated.
