The International Team for Implantology (ITI) funds innovative, original preclinical and clinical research that addresses current clinical questions and advances implant dentistry. Projects are selected on merit by the ITI Research Committee, with findings published in international peer-reviewed journals to make advances accessible to dental professionals worldwide. Applications are welcomed globally, including research outside the designated priority topics.
For 2024–2026, priorities include artificial intelligence, big data and digital transformation, geriatric implant therapy, molecular and cellular aspects, personalized medicine and genetics, and peri-implant diseases. The targeted “Single Implants vs. 3-Unit Tooth-Borne Bridges” call seeks hypothesis-driven comparative evidence on long-term outcomes, patient-reported results, health economics, and factors influencing treatment decisions.
