Identification of the potential difficulty, degree of complexity and risk involved in implant related treatment for a given clinical situation is key to predictable, long-term stable outcomes.

The ITI has formalized an evidence-based system of classification for dental implant procedures to support clinicians at every level of expertise and experience.

The fully revised 2nd Edition of the SAC Classification in Implant Dentistry has been updated to ensure consistency with contemporary implant practice. It provides an evidence-based, objective framework for the assessment of the potential difficulty, complexity and risk of an implant related treatment for a given clinical situation and serves as a guide for clinicians in both patient selection and treatment planning.
