26th ITI Education Week Bern

This one-week course was established 15 years ago and was designed for clinicians with an interest in the field of implant dentistry. This basic course presents evidence-based treatment concepts for the rehabilitation of fully and partially edentulous patients. Besides more than 25 lectures, the participants can watch live surgeries and observe how dental implants are applied in patients. The course also offers the opportunity to participate in treatment planning as well as surgical and prosthetic hands-on workshops. A visit to the Straumann production center in Villeret is included.
