Mastering Implant Dentistry: Identifying Complexity and Risk with the SAC Classification

By Anthony Dawson and Stephen Chen, leading authorities in implant dentistry, this resource provides a comprehensive guide to categorizing implant treatment procedures into straightforward, advanced, and complex levels of difficulty. As an integral part of everyday dental practice, implant dentistry requires clinicians to have a thorough understanding of treatment complexity and risk to ensure predictable and successful outcomes.

The Importance of Standardization in Implant Dentistry

Since 2003, the International Team for Implantology (ITI) has recommended the SAC Classification to standardize the application of implant treatment procedures. In 2007, the ITI organized a conference to further refine the SAC Classification, resulting in a set of guidelines that have improved the predictability and success of implant dentistry outcomes.

A Valuable Resource for Clinicians

This book is an invaluable resource for clinicians seeking to improve their understanding of treatment complexity and risk. By categorizing procedures into three levels of difficulty, clinicians can better identify treatment complexity and risk before treating a patient, leading to more predictable and successful outcomes.

With 172 pages of expert guidance, this comprehensive resource provides dental professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to master the SAC Classification and take their implant dentistry skills to the next level.
