Exploring what comes next in implant dentistry: the ITI Innovation Forum brings experts together to examine emerging topics, identify knowledge gaps and help shape future research.
Implant therapy is most predictable when surgical and restorative planning work together from the very beginning. This article explores how decisions made during one phase directly influence the other, affecting esthetics, function, maintenance, biomechanics, and long-term success. Through practical clinical insights, discover why interdisciplinary planning is essential for achieving predictable, patient-centered outcomes in daily implant practice.
In daily practice, we mostly rely on what we can see clinically or what appears calcified on radiographs. The true “black box” of implant dentistry, however, is the softtissue interface. Conventional tools often fail to capture the early biological dynamics of softtissue integration, subtle inflammatory changes, or their real-time resolution. Intraoral ultrasonography (IUS) offers a noninvasive, radiation-free window into peri-implant healing, allowing quantitative assessment of mucosal thickness and vascularity in real time.
Two teams of researchers. Two studies. One shared conviction: the best clinical questions are the ones that keep you up at night. There is a particular kind of scientific restlessness that tends to produce good research. It is not the ambition to publish, nor the pressure to produce. It is
Every year in June, the ITI opens the application portal for its Scholarship Program. We took this opportunity to ask one of our former Scholars, Theesan Ananda Vedan, about his experience at the ITI Scholarship Center in Malmö, Sweden.

Every year in June, the ITI opens the application portal for its Scholarships. We took this opportunity to ask one of our former Scholars, Aspasia Pachiou from Greece, about her experience, her daily work and what she liked the most about it. She started his Scholarship year in September 2024 at the ITI Scholarship Center Zurich, Switzerland.
