On March 11, 2026, the ITI Study Club Games Opening Ceremony officially launched an exciting new chapter for the global ITI community.
The 2026 Study Club Day in Italy marked significant growth, with 33 clubs engaging 901 participants nationwide. The event fostered collaboration among professionals, enhancing community ties and promoting scientific dialogue in implant dentistry.
Immediate implant placement allows clinicians to replace a tooth at extraction, reducing treatment time while maintaining bone and soft tissue contours. When guided by the ITI SAC Classification and meticulous planning, it offers predictable, esthetic outcomes — proving that efficiency and precision can go hand in hand.
Every year in June, the ITI opens the application portal for its Scholarships. We took this opportunity to ask one of our former Scholars, Liezl Dawson from South Africa, about her experience, her daily work and what she liked most about it. She started her Scholarship year in September 2024 at the ITI Scholarship Center in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Implant placement and loading are two parts of the same clinical strategy, not separate choices. The 2026 systematic review from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine team updates the Gallucci framework with a far larger evidence base, clarifying which accelerated protocols—such as Type 1A (immediate placement + immediate loading)—are now well validated and where options like Type 1B still carry higher risk. It also confirms late placement protocols as the most consistently predictable pathways, while showing how early placement can balance biological safety with shorter treatment times.
