2 Proceedings of the Third ITI Consensus Conference: Esthetics in Implant Dentistry
The International Team for Implantology (ITI) is a nonprofit academic organization of professionals in implant dentistry and tissue regeneration with over 2000 fellows and members in more than 40 countries. The ITI organizes consensus conferences at 5-year intervals to discuss relevant topics in implant dentistry.
The first and second ITI Consensus Conferences in 1993 and 1997 (Proceedings of the ITI Consensus Conference 2000) primarily discussed basic surgical and prosthetic issues in implant dentistry. For the Third ITI Consensus Conference in 2003, the ITI Education Committee decided to focus the discussion on four special topics that had received much attention in recent years, “Esthetics in Implant Dentistry” being one of them (Proceedings of the Third ITI Consensus Conference, published in 2004).
A working group was elected for the exploration of each topic. Working Group 2, exploring the topic of “Esthetics in Implant Dentistry,” consisted of the following ITI fellows:
