ITI University Programs Introduction4 Introduction ITI University Programs 5

Introduced in 2009 as a new venture in ITI education, the ITI University Program aims to enhance implant education worldwide by offering coordinated, high quality continuing education courses in implant dentistry around the globe. The premise behind the program is that continuing education in implant dentistry and related fields is best delivered indepen-dently of commercial interests for reasons of overall quality and credibility.

To this end, the ITI Board of Directors estab-lished a University Programs committee to build, implement and monitor the program. The University Programs committee comprises the following members:• Hans-Peter Weber, UsA (chairman)• Nikos Donos, UK• Lisa Heitz-mayfield, Australia• simon størgard Jensen, Denmark• sandro matter, switzerland• Dean morton, UsA• Frauke müller, switzerland

AnInternationalNetworkinImplantEducationAt the core of the ITI University Program lies the establishment of an international network of selected educational venues at university-based dental schools, affiliated institutions or hospital centers. With the centralized adminis-trative and logistical support of the ITI center in Basel, switzerland, these institutions can deliver ITI-quality international courses in implant dentistry and related topics. The course content is based on the ITI guidelines as pub-lished in the ITI consensus Papers, the ITI Treatment Guide series and other similar publications. Participants benefit from high quality course offerings that also provide con-tinuing education (ce) credits.

The selection of the course venues is based on a formal application and careful assessment by the ITI University Programs committee. To be considered, an institution must fulfill the following criteria, among others:

• They have an established track record of excellence in continuing dental education

• They are certified to issue continuing dental education credits

• They are headed by an experienced and loyal ITI Fellow in a leading position at his/her institution and supported by an experienced faculty

• They have state-of-the-art facilities with a lecture hall as well as other infrastructure for live surgeries, live prosthetics and hands-on workshops.

The geographical distribution of the centers is also an important contributory factor in the invitation and selection process for new centers.

For the course period 2010/2011, ITI education Weeks will be held at the following locations: • Bern, switzerland: University of Bern, school

of Dental medicine, Bern, switzerland• Boston, mA, UsA: Harvard school of Dental

medicine, Boston, UsA• china/Hong Kong: University of Hong Kong,

Prince Philip Dental Hospital, Hong Kong• London, UK: University college of London,

eastman Dental Institute & Hospital, London, UK

• melbourne, Australia: University of melbourne, melbourne Dental school, Parkville, Australia

• stuttgart, Germany: Klinikum stuttgart, Katharinenhospital, Department for oral-, maxillo- and Facial Plastic surgery, center of Implant Dentistry, stuttgart, Germany

• Toronto, ontario, canada: Bloorview Kids rehab/University of Toronto, Toronto, canada

Further institutions around the world will be approached based on the success of this first

full year of courses and the general demand for implant dentistry education.

EducationCourses2010Five institution-based courses will be offered this year, and the remaining two venues are already planning their program for 2011. The ITI University Program is currently providing a single course format, the ITI education Week, which has proven highly successful over the years at the University of Bern in collaboration with the University of Geneva. ITI education Weeks give practitioners with some experience in implant dentistry the opportunity to advance their knowledge and skills in implant-related treatment. Participants will benefit from: • Lecture and discussion sessions• Participation in treatment planning• surgical and prosthetic hands-on sessions• Live surgical and prosthetic sessions• University-based continuing education (ce)

credits

As the program evolves, additional course formats and content will be added in the future.

With this brochure, we take pleasure in introduc-ing the first seven venues at which ITI education Weeks will be offered in 2010/2011. you will also find the schedule and specific details for each of the courses to be held in 2010 as part of this new ITI University Program. I very much hope you will take advantage of the educational offering outlined on the following pages.

Boston, USA

Harvard school of Dental medicine

CityofBoston

First incorporated in 1630, Boston is one of America’s oldest cities. Its rich history

has made it the economic and cultural hub of New england and earned it the

nickname the “Athens of America” due to the teaching and research activities of

the more than 100 colleges and universities in the area. Boston is also home

to some of the world’s finest medical facilities and biotechnology companies as well

as numerous cultural and professional sports organizations.

Boston is big enough to offer countless sources of first-rate entertainment and

cultural attractions, yet small enough to explore on foot. Tourism is one of the city’s

largest industries and Boston hosts over 12 million visitors annually from the United

states and around the globe. There are a vast number of accommodations in the

city ranging from boutique properties and inns to world-class luxury hotels.

Boston is easily accessible by air, rail, bus or automobile. Logan International Airport

is served by approximately 40 airlines and is located two miles from Downtown

Boston. It is easy to reach the city by public transportation, water shuttle, taxi or

limousine services. For more information on Boston, go to www.boston.com.

Bern, Switzerland

Universities of Bern and Geneva

CityofBern

The capital of switzerland and seat of government, Bern is switzerland’s 4th largest

city with a population of 130,000. Attractively located within a bend on the river

Aare, Bern is a compact city whose center can be easily covered on foot. The local

transportation system, however, provides a punctual and regular means of getting

from one end to the other. The city was founded in 1191 and has been on the

UNesco World Heritage list of sites since 1983. It is also cited in the top ten cities

with the best quality of life.

Bern offers a rich choice of museums for rainy days ranging from communications,

through natural history to fine arts, including the relatively recently built Paul Klee

center, but some of the greatest pleasure can be had simply by wandering around the

city and enjoying its architecture, which dates from the medieval to the present day.

The streets of the old town are lined with a number of large stores as well as

independent boutiques, with cafes dotted at regular intervals. shopping remains

a pleasure even in poor weather as the majority of the streets that lie between

the 16th century bear pits and the railway station are covered, offering protection

from the rain.

Due to its central location, Bern is an excellent hub from which the rest of switzer-

land and europe can be reached within just a few hours.

TheUniversityofBern,SchoolofDentalMedicinehasanexcellentrecordincontinuing

Hong Kong, SAR PR China

University of Hong Kong

CityofHongKong

An island with a history and tradition that unite east and West, cosmopolitan

Hong Kong exerts an easy fascination over its visitors. Hong Kong has a long relation-

ship to Britain, which was officially severed in 1997 when its sovereignty was

transferred to the People’s republic of china. Its tradition, however, remains strongly

influenced by its past. Double-decker trams and buses and capitalism combine

seamlessly with feng-shui, chinese culture and dim sum. Food, music, sport and

entertainment – all are available in abundance in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is an exciting place to visit. With very little space between the harbor

and the foot of the island’s steep hills, the island has grown directly upwards and has

well over 7,600 skyscrapers and a good third of the world’s tallest buildings can be

found here. The architecture is innovative and the skyline is unique, whether looking

out from the Peak towards the sea or from the star Ferry towards land. on the list

of historic sights is the Tsim sha Tsui clock Tower, the central Police station and the

remains of Kowloon Walled city across the harbor.

Hong Kong has an excellent public transportation system with a rapid transit system

that serves 3 to 4 million people a day. The international airport is one of the busiest

in the world with flights offered by more than 85 airlines.

The first postgraduate course dedicated to implant dentistry at the university was launched in 2006 with the introduction of a master of science (msc) in Implant Dentistry program. This part-time two-year program is aimed at practicing dentists in Hong Kong who have already had exposure to patient care for at least two to three years. The program prepares candidates to treat straightforward (s) and, in selected instances, advanced (A) cases.

A second program, the master of Dental surgery in Implant Dentistry (mDs Implant Dent) was introduced in fall 2008. This mDs program is devoted to the entire field of implant dentistry including treatment planning, preparatory therapy, implant installation with or without bone augmentation, prosthetic reconstruction and patient maintenance taking biological and technical complications into consideration. This

program prepares candidates to treat straight-forward (s), advanced (A) and complex (c) cases.

FacultyThe center is headed up by Professor Niklaus Lang, Professor of Implant Dentistry at the University of Hong Kong and Professor emeritus, University of Bern, switzerland. Professor Lang’s research interests include etiology and patho-genesis of peri-implant infectious disease, risk evaluation, wound healing and oral micro-biology. His multinational faculty includes Dr. rino Burkhardt, Zurich; Professor esmonde F. corbet, Hong Kong; Professor Lisa Heitz-mayfield, Perth; Professor Li-Jian Jin, Hong Kong; Dr. Wai Keung Leung, Hong Kong; Dr. martina Lulic, Hong Kong; Professor Bjarni e.

London, UK

UcL eastman Dental Institute

CityofLondon

As a much visited tourist destination, London needs little introduction. A city of

parks, monuments, museums, shows and sights, it offers an infinite number of

opportunities to satisfy virtually every need. The city can be visited by neighborhood,

each with a character of its own. From the museums of south Kensington, upmarket

shopping at sloane square or Knightsbridge, the hubbub of the department stores

of oxford street to the relative calm of the financial center around st Paul’s at

the weekend, and the narrow streets and quiet gardens of the inns of court around

Temple and Lincoln’s Inn, the center of London and its surrounding areas have

much to offer.

Food in england is very international and versatile; not only have Indian, Thai and

chinese food become a staple part of the english diet, but traditional english food

has taken on a new and tasty twist thanks to the efforts of homegrown chefs such

as rick stein, Nigella Lawson, Gordon ramsey and Jamie oliver – some of whom

have restaurants in London and beyond in addition to the mouthwatering bedtime

reading they provide.

London has a broad infrastructure in place for public transportation and while

the underground is a relatively reliable bet for speedy transport, bus services can

be unpredictable with a reputation for traveling in packs rather than according

to a timetable. They provide, however, an excellent opportunity to get a bird’s eye

view of everyday London.

TheUCLEastmanDentalInstituteisamajorcenterofexcellenceattheforefrontofevidence-

basedclinicalservice,researchandeducationintheoralhealthcaresciences.

The Institute is highly rated for research and teaching in UK Government assessments and is also the only dental school in the UK to have been awarded the prestigious Queen’s Anniver-sary Prize for Higher and Further education.

The eastman is a graduate institute with over 500 postgraduates from 30 countries enrolled in certificate-, diploma- and master’s-level pro-grams. The eastman’s international reputation is maintained through its faculty of outstanding clinicians, teachers and scientists. eastman staff are at the forefront of their professions and hold editorships at many of the leading journals in the field, appointments in national and international bodies and specialist societies and have authored some of the most important textbooks and research publications.

The Institute’s programs are supported by a superb teaching environment which were further enhanced in February 2010 with the opening of a state-of-the-art clinical teaching

facility. This includes five new dental chairs with microscopes and digital radiography, a cone beam scanner, a skills laboratory and a lecture room to facilitate clinical teaching and demon-stration at the highest level.

The Institute is located in King’s cross, central London and is extremely well connected for national and international travel.

Melbourne, Australia

University of melbourne

CityofMelbourne

As a city with a harbour and centered around Port Philip bay, sport plays an impor-

tant role for melbourne, but is not restricted to watersports. As the sporting capital

of Australia, melbourne has a broad offering from Grand slam tennis to Formula 1

motor racing, jogging to morning tai-chi at Federation square, spectator or participant,

the choice is broad.

melbourne also has a strong and well earned reputation as the cultural capital of

Australia with an abundance of exhibitions, theater, opera and concerts. This offering

is complemented by a multi-cultural range of cuisine to suit every pocket and

mood. New world wine is known throughout the world, but is best enjoyed in its

country of origin when the chardonnay or shiraz is just a stone’s throw from the cask

in which it was lovingly matured.

While melbourne is above all a modern city, it has also a fascinating history that

centers principally around the 19th century and the waves of immigration of

adventure seekers and other less respected immigrants on the convict ships from

the UK. The city’s golden mile heritage trail guides visitors through the city’s

streets, highlighting architectural and historical milestones to provide glimpses

of the physical and cultural foundation stones on which the city is built.

Implant training on this new program is pro-vided in a structured but non-system-specific manner over eight modules of teaching. several specialist speakers from surgical and pros-thodontic streams have been involved in the development and provision of this course. one of the key learning objectives has been to enable participants to diagnose and manage the complications that may occur with implant cases. The modular restorative implant course places a strong emphasis on thorough patient examination and treatment planning. The ITI education week offered by the center builds on the successful development and provision of this course.

FacultyThe center of excellence is run by an executive leadership team comprising Associate Professor Ivan Darby, Head of center, and Dr. roy Judge as Deputy Head. Ivan Darby is an experienced implant clinician and an ITI Fellow. He heads the Periodontic department on a continuing con-tract as well as holding the position of Director of Graduate studies at melbourne Dental school. Ivan Darby has clinical, teaching and research experience in implant dentistry. roy Judge is Head of Prosthodontics at melbourne Dental school. He is also coordinator for implant teach-ing and the Head of continuing Professional Development at the school as well as the Head of the Implant Unit at the royal Dental Hospital of melbourne and maintains a private prosth-odontic practice.

Stuttgart, Germany

Klinikum stuttgart, Katharinenhospital

CityofStuttgart

A hive of activity that sits in a lush green valley, stuttgart is Germany’s sixth largest

city. It is known as a wine-growing town as well as being home to a number of

famous breweries including stuttgarter Hofbräu, Dinkelacker and schwabenbräu.

It is often also referred to as the “cradle of the automobile” as the motorbike

and automobile were invented here by Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz.

stuttgart is a very green city with many parks and it also has a lively cultural life.

The Porsche and mercedes Benz museums are both worth a visit. The latter is

architecturally fascinating with its interior spiral ramp, which is lined with historical

exhibits that provide insights into everyday life accompanying the development of

Daimler Benz to the present day. For those who are less interested in the combustion

engine, there is an opera house as well as three principal theaters that show plays,

ballets and concerts. The destination for art lovers is the staatsgalerie with its paint-

ings and sculpture that range from the 14th century to the present day.

The city’s history can be traced back to roman times, when it was the location

of a fort on the banks of the river Neckar, but its present form dates back to around

960 AD. Although much of the inner city was destroyed during World War II, it still

retains enough buildings from the preceding centuries to provide a flavor of the city

in earlier times.

The Katharinenhospital trains dentists in oral surgery and is also qualified to train doctors in maxillofacial as well as plastic surgery. 13,000 outpatients are treated every year and the clinic is equipped with four operating theaters and an intensive care unit as well as a child and infant unit with rooming in for parents and children.

As the teaching hospital for the University of Tübingen, Katharinenhospital has a strong educational tradition. It hosts an annual dental symposium as well as four to six conferences for the stuttgart scientific Association of Dentistry and a further four for the German Association for Implantology. A number of times each year, dentists and maxillofacial surgeons applying for certification in implantology attend the hospital for supervision in dental implant operations.

FacultyThe center of excellence is run by Professors Dieter Weingart and Hans-Peter Weber. Professor Dieter Weingart has been chairman of the Department for oral, maxillo and Facial Plastic surgery at the Katharinenhospital since 1996. He has been an ITI Fellow since 1989 and was the first recipient of the André schroeder research Award in 1992.

Professor Hans-Peter Weber is chair of the Department of Prosthodontics & operative Dentistry, Tufts University school of Dental medicine as well as Visiting Professor at Harvard school of Dental medicine, both in Boston, UsA. He has been an ITI Fellow since 1987 and his work focuses on clinical research, teaching and the intramural practice of comprehensive dentistry with special emphasis on all phases of implant dentistry and prosthodontics.

Toronto’s Bay street is the Wall street of canada. The stock exchange is the third

largest in North America, and with its 12 billion a day in share transactions, is among

the most important exchanges in the world. other kinds of expression in the city

include a major film and jazz festival, the third largest live theatre center in

the english-speaking world and without exaggeration, a couple of thousand ethnic

restaurants. It is also home to four major sport teams, which include hockey’s maple

Leafs, basketball’s raptors, baseball’s Blue Jays and football’s Argonauts. Toronto

and case discussions• Four hands-on exercises in the sIm Lab of the Faculty of Dentistry

This seven-day education Week addresses the general dental practitioner as well as the specialist and postgraduate student in his/ her last year of training with an interest in comprehensive dental care. on the basis of daily case presentations and discussions in working groups, comprehensive treatment planning is performed with the aim of implementing new knowledge and biological concepts.

The goal is to find the optimal treatment plan for each patient, taking into consideration his/her needs in terms of esthetics and function under healthy conditions. Great emphasis is placed on patient mainte-nance and mastering biological and technical complications.

Besides approximately 20 lectures that take into consideration the most up-to-date aspects of the literature, an evidence-based treatment philosophy is offered. Hands-on exercises in the newly established sIm laboratory of the Faculty of Dentistry round off the course in order to provide the necessary skills for advanced procedures in implant dentistry and related fields (regeneration). Bone augmentation and sinus floor elevation using modern materials will also be practiced in the sIm Lab.

To promote friendship and collegial discussions, most of the late after- noons and evenings will be spent together in the proximity of Prince Philip Dental Hospital exploring the beauty and culinary specialties of Hong Kong. A junk boat tour of the Hong Kong harbor will permit participants to appreciate the lights of the Hong Kong skyline by night. An evening on Lamma Island and a trip to the famous stanley market accompanied by a meal in these surroundings will serve to create fine memories of this lively and vibrant city. spouses and partners are welcome to these social events, which will leave them free to experience the unlimited shopping facilities of Hong Kong during the day.

ITI Education Week Toronto Lessons from a Pediatric Rehabilitation Center

The goal of this 4-day program is to provide participants with a com-monsense and intuitive approach to the management of patients requiring dental implant therapy. It consists of lectures, live broad-casting of procedures, hands-on exercises, “lunch and learning” and plenty of opportunity for networking with co-participants and faculty. registration is limited in order to enhance the individual educa-tional experience. The program addresses multiple aspects of implant treatment at all levels of difficulty – straightforward, advanced, and complex. It is organized using a case-based format geared in its applica-bility to everyday practice. content will be delivered through multiple case histories and interactive discussions between the participants and faculty. A number of practical exercises and surgical and prosthodontic procedures will be broadcast live, building on these discussions and allowing each participant to fully comprehend and practice what they have learned. The course is organized in a logical sequence beginning with an exploration of the biological basis of dental implantology, and followed by practical and evidence-based guidelines for analysis of risk and treatment planning, stepwise demonstrations of surgical and prosthodontic protocols, up-to-date analyses of adjunctive surgical procedures, provision of insight into how to time treatment in the context of the growing individual, tips for troubleshooting and strate-gies for dealing with complications. each participant will acquire the fundamental knowledge with which to pursue their personal vision of developing excellence in implant dentistry.

The content of this ITI education Week in stuttgart will address multiple aspects of implant treatment at all levels of difficulty – straightforward, advanced, and complex. course organization and presentation will be in a case-based format that is geared to everyday practice. The necessary basic information will be delivered through multiple case examples and interactive discussions. A number of practical exercises and live procedures will build on this to enhance the clinical experience. All live surgeries will be introduced in detail and then reviewed step by step. Participants also will have the oppor-tunity to bring their own case examples for discussion.

The following questions are addressed:• How can patients be involved in the planning process to help them

understand the benefits of the chosen treatment? • Which surgical procedures – ranging from straightforward to complex

operations and bone corrections – can be carried out in private practice without requiring extraordinary training?

• What must be taken into account with respect to rehabilitation – does a simple reconstruction procedure necessarily deliver a less satisfactory outcome or does the more complex or expensive procedure always produce better results?

Day1:Diagnosis,treatmentplanningandriskassessmentinimplantdentistry• Implant assisted or conventional prosthodontics?• Implant dentistry in daily practice – ideal vs. reality• Do contraindications to implant therapy still exist?• How about bisphosphonates?• How much diagnostics do we need?• Is a cone beam tomogram necessary?• computer-guided surgery – myth or reality?• I (the dentist) am convinced that the implant is the better

alternative – how do I convince the patient?• cost-benefit ratio of implant treatment in daily practice
