ITI Innovation Forum
Research for a changing field
A new research format for areas of implant dentistry where knowledge is still developing.
Why ITI Innovation Forum?
Research for a changing field
Implant dentistry continues to develop, with new technologies, materials and treatment approaches emerging alongside an evolving body of research. The ITI Innovation Forum provides a dedicated format for examining these developing areas and considering what is currently known, where uncertainty remains and where further research is needed.
The ITI Innovation Forum is a new research format for exploring these developing areas. It brings together available research and expert perspectives to consider what is currently known, where questions remain, and where further research may be needed.
A format for topics that are still developing
The ITI Innovation Forum focuses on areas of implant dentistry where research is still developing.
Each Forum combines scientific reviews, expert input and structured discussion to examine the current state of knowledge, identify areas of uncertainty and consider priorities for further research.
- Current state of knowledge
- Areas of unvertainty
- Priorities for further research
How the Innovation Forum works
Patient-Specific Implant Treatment
15–17 October 2026 · Falkenstein Grand Hotel · Near Frankfurt, Germany
The first ITI Innovation Forum will focus on Patient-Specific Implant Treatment, bringing together experts to examine emerging approaches and the current state of research.
Two working groups will focus on:
- Patient-specific prosthesis-supporting implants and subperiosteal implant designs
- Patient-specific scaffolds for bone regeneration
The ITI Research Committee assesses and funds research projects in implant dentistry and related fields, and identifies and promotes novel scientific research in implant dentistry.
