About the Scholarship Center
The School of Dental Medicine at the University of Belgrade is a leading institution for dental education and research in Serbia with a 75-year-old tradition.
The ITI Scholarship Center in Belgrade is based in the newly formed facility of Belgrade School of Dental Medicine, Implant Center Belgrade. Implant Center Belgrade is a clinical, research and teaching facility that specializes in implant dentistry. The clinic offers a wide range of services related to dental implants, including implant placement, bone grafting procedures and prosthetic rehabilitation. The special focus is on the application of digital technologies in all aspects of implant dentistry.
The clinic is staffed by a team of highly skilled and experienced dental professionals who use the latest technologies and techniques to provide high-quality dental care to their patients. The team includes dental implant specialists, oral surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontists, among others. The clinic uses several top-quality dental implant systems, to ensure the longevity and success of the implant treatments.
ITI Scholars will be involved in each phase of implant therapy, from diagnosis and treatment planning to post-treatment follow-up. This multidisciplinary approach involves patient follow-up through both surgical and prosthodontic patient rehabilitation. The assumption is that ITI Scholars will be actively involved in the treatment planning, individualized treatment approach discussions, surgery, as well as prosthodontic rehabilitation. ITI Scholars can assist and observe the entire range of implant surgeries with or without bone augmentation procedures. Computer-guided implantology using different software types is an integral part of implant treatment.
