Revolutionizing Dental Implantology: A Comprehensive Guide to SAC Classification

By Anthony Dawson and Stephen Chen

Dental implantology has witnessed significant advancements in the past 30 years, incorporating novel technologies and refined clinical procedures into daily practice. However, the education of implantologists has often neglected the crucial aspect of assessing the difficulty and risk associated with therapeutic interventions. To address this knowledge gap, the ITI has developed a formal classification system for implant treatments.

The Birth of SAC Classification: A Consensus Conference

In March 2007, the ITI organized a consensus conference on the island of Mallorca, where experts converged to discuss and identify key challenges in implantology. This conference laid the foundation for this book, which provides guidelines for various restorative and surgical treatment scenarios.

The SAC (Straightforward, Advanced, Complex) classification system, introduced by the ITI in 2003, categorizes treatment scenarios based on their complexity. This system enables practitioners to evaluate the magnitude of difficulties and risks associated with different treatment scenarios and determine the necessary skills required to perform specific therapies.

A Valuable Resource for Practitioners and Educators

This book serves as an indispensable reference guide for dental implantologists, providing a framework for selecting treatment strategies and assessing the difficulties and risks involved. Furthermore, it is an invaluable tool for educators, allowing them to design training programs in dental implantology with increasing levels of complexity.
