Educational Training
Innovation and development result not only in new products, but also in new methods and technologies. Not all of them are based on generally taught dentistry and therefore require the willingness of the practitioner to acquire new knowledge. You cannot replace knowledge with experience. Experience builds on stable and continuously cultivated knowledge.
Our Corticobasal® implants use such new methods, which is why the use of these implants is legally only permitted to those practitioners who have verifiably dealt with them. This means that some of our implants are only available with manufacturer authorization. This authorization is generally granted upon completion of the IF® Curriculum and must be renewed regularly.

We strive to actively support you in matters of knowledge and know-how. For this we have joined forces with our partner, the International Implant Foundation IF®.
The International Implant Foundation IF® was founded with the aim of standardizing the methods and practices of dental implantology in immediate loading and making them accessible to all interested parties worldwide. The insights gained are not only presented in numerous scientific articles and studies, they are also constantly included in the courses of the International Implant Foundation IF®. his way, all participants benefit from up-to-date knowledge at the highest level.
