Validate your professional expertise with the ITI Diploma in Implant Dentistry!

For the ITI Diploma assessment, the following eight clinical cases need to be submitted:

4 cases with fixed prosthesis:

1. Single tooth posterior site
2. 2 to 4 teeth posterior space
3. Single tooth maxillary esthetic zone (intercanal)
4. 2 to 4 teeth anterior space*

*comprises the central incisors, the lateral incisors, and the canines

2 cases with removable prosthesis:

    5. Mandibular complete 2-implant overdenture

    6. Maxillary complete or partial dental prosthesis with strategic use of single implant

2 cases concerning continuing care

    7. Management of hardware and/or biological complications

    8. Demonstration of 1-year, 2-year and 3-year follow-up of routine maintenance

Follow-up documentation for at least 1 year after loading should be provided for each case type (except „routine maintenance” case type). The minimum requirement is radiographic 1-year follow-up documentation and, for cases in the anterior area, photographic 1-year follow-up documentation as well as at least quadrant probing.

Diploma participants who have paid their course fee can submit any questions they may have to the ITI Board of Studies via ITI Headquarters.

Yes, if you would like to submit a first case for evaluation and comments by the ITI Board of Studies to make sure it is up to the standard required before uploading it and the other seven cases, you may do so.

It sometimes happens that a patient who wears a partial removable dental prosthesis, looses one of the teeth that hold the prosthesis. In such clinical situations an implant can be placed and used for retention of the removable dental prosthesis together with the remaining teeth. This approach allows for the existing prosthesis to be adapted to incorporate the retention element for the implant rather than having to produce a new prosthesis.

The cases need to be submitted in the form of photographic and radiographic documentation and using the ITI Diploma case submission template that will be provided to you by the ITI.

Follow-up documentation for at least 1 year after loading should be provided for each case type (except “routine maintenance” case type). The minimum requirement is radiographic 1-year follow-up documentation and, for cases in the anterior area, photographic 1-year follow-up documentation as well as at least quadrant probing.

A documented follow-up of routine maintenance for the first, second and third years are required, rather than just for the third year.

You will have up to 1.5 years to submit all eight cases. The whole program including the oral examination should be completed within 3 years.

Yes, the dental & periodontal chart must be filled out for every patient.

No, if you are specialized in one area (for example, a prosthodontist), and the surgical part of the case you have treated was done by another doctor, you need to indicate this and provide a signed declaration of collaborative work for that case. The form will be provided to you by the ITI.

You must read and follow the completed sample template that will be provided to you by the ITI after registration of the program. This clarifies the submission standards, quality, criteria, and format. You will also have the opportunity to attend our onboarding call that provides a structured introduction to the ITI Diploma in Implant Dentistry and where you will also have the opportunity to ask questions.

Yes, we have prepared a case submission template that shows the requirements for case preparation. You can find the sample case submission here.

Please provide the clinical photographs in high resolution and in .jpg format.

The ITI Board of Studies will examine and validate the eight cases. The Board of Studies is made up of reputed implant dentistry professionals who are ITI Fellows from all over the world.

As soon as soon as you have submitted all your eight cases, the ITI Board of Studies will start evaluating them.

Yes, an initial check for completeness and content will be made for the eight cases uploaded before validation starts. Should information/documents be missing or unsatisfactory, you will be notified and can amend your upload accordingly. Such amendments will not be considered a re-submission.

You are allowed to resubmit one case free of charge.

A rejected case can be resubmitted only once. If more than one of your cases requires resubmission, you are considered to be not ready for the ITI Diploma and will need to improve your skills and experience and then register again for the program after a suitable period of time.

The case must be re-written and re-submitted within 4 weeks.

You can either re-submit the rejected case together with the additional information requested or resubmit a new case. Should you decide to submit a new case, the new case must be of the same case type as the rejected case (e.g., if the rejected case was a fixed prosthesis in a single tooth posterior site the new case must also be a fixed prosthesis in a single tooth posterior site case).

Yes, you can choose to submit a new case, but the case type must be the same as the rejected case. If the topic of the rejected case was technical complications, the topic of the new submitted case must also be technical complications. The new case must also be submitted within 4 weeks. A rejected case can only be re-submitted once.

If more than one case is rejected, you are considered to be not ready for the ITI Diploma and will need to improve your skills and experience and then register again for the program after a suitable period of time.

A rejected case can be resubmitted only once. If the resubmitted case is rejected, you are considered to be not ready for the ITI Diploma and will need to improve your skills and experience and then register again for the program after a suitable period of time.

The case submissions must be made in English, i.e., the case submission template for each clinical case and all required accompanying information must be filled out in English.

The registration fee will not be reimbursed.
