What is the SAC Assessment Tool?

The SAC Assessment Tool takes you
through each step necessary to identify the
degree of complexity and potential risk
involved in individual implant dentistry cases
in an easy-to-use process.

This tool makes use of the ITI’s highly regarded classification system referred to as SAC: Straightforward, Advanced, Complex. It reflects the normative guidelines developed by the ITI for various types of restorative and surgical cases. The tool is based on the book entitled “The SAC Classification in Implant Dentistry 2nd Edition”, published by the ITI in cooperation with Quintessence Publishing Group.

See what ITI Members say about the SAC Assessment Tool

Guillaume Heller, ITI Fellow (FRA)

“The new version of the SAC Assessment Tool integrates ALL the information that needs to be recorded to plan and treat every case. The tool functions as a checklist to ensure that nothing is forgotten and also reminds us of the critical parameters associated with the challenges that surgical and prosthodontic implantology raise.”

A checklist to ensure that all critical parameters are included
Karthickraj Selladurai, ITI Member (IND)

“The SAC Assessment Tool was very helpful in assessing my clinical cases, and I’m using it for my short-term study as well. I’ve also found this tool very useful for undergrad students in my institution. I turn to this tool for each and every case.“
