DENTAL UPDATES ITI announces changes, new awards, and resume of in-person events The International Team for Implantology (ITI) has established three new ITI sections, two new ITI honorary fellowships, and launched the ITI Distinguished Achievement award. During the organisation’s annual general meeting, Charlotte Stilwell, president of ITI, announced three new ITI sections, bringing the overall total to 34. Until recently, Thailand and Vietnam were part of the regional section South East Asia, however their exponential growth and the concentration of activities in these countries made them excellent candidates for their own sections. Additionally, the ITI Board of Directors awarded the official section status to Ukraine as well, with immediate effect. “In the light of everything that is currently happening in Ukraine, it is more important than ever to uphold our community spirit,” said Stilwell. “We therefore took the opportunity, in however small a gesture, to grant well-deserved section status to our ITI community in Ukraine. The ITI extends its deeply felt compassion to all those affected by this humanitarian tragedy.” The ITI honorary fellowship recognises longstanding fellows with a distinguished career, and since 1992, has awarded 21 fellows. This year, the ITI added two new names to the list of eminent honourees: Lisa Heitz-Mayfield from Australia and Frauke Müller from Switzerland, both former ITI board members and committee chairs, and also the first two women to be presented with the ITI’s highest recognition. The new ITI Distinguished Achievement Award is presented to professionals, within or outside ITI, who have made a strong and enduring contribution to either a specific milestone topic in implant dentistry or a particular ITI project. The first recipients of this award are Anthony Dawson from Australia and Steven Eckert from the US. Dawson received the award for his contribution to the ITI SAC Classification in Implant Dentistry, and Eckert for his work disseminating implantrelated research and knowledge in his editorial role for leading journals within the field. ANDRÉ SCHROEDER RESEARCH PRIZES 2022 At the ITI Annual Conference, Ryan Lee from Australia and Stefan Bienz from Switzerland together with their co-authors were announced winners of the 2022 André Schroeder Research Prizes. Lee received the prize for pre-clinical research for his study on “Re-establishment of macrophage homeostasis by titanium surface modification in type II diabetes promotes osseous healing”, and Bienz for his paper on “Clinical and histological comparison of the soft tissue morphology between zirconia and titanium dental implants under healthy and experimental mucositis conditions — A randomized controlled clinical trial”. ITI CONGRESS ITALY AND ANNUAL CONFERENCE The ITI has also announced to hold again series of global on-site events, enabling ITI fellows and members to meet again in person, after a three-year hiatus. The AGM was preceded by the annual conference that focused this year on “Peri-implant soft-tissue integration and management”, in line with the recently published volume 12 of the ITI Treatment Guide book series. Preceding that, the ITI Congress Italy on “Esthetics in implant dentistry: Clinical and scientific evidence” was held from 31 Mar-1 Apr 2022. Both events attracted 1,005 and 885 participants respectively, as reported by ITI. ■ Mectron signs agreement with ITI Mectron, inventor and producer of PIEZOSURGERY, the piezoelectric bone surgery unit, and the ITI have signed a longterm sponsorship agreement. As the first sponsorship partner in a new initiative launched by the ITI to establish longer-term relationships with a small number of companies from the industry, Mectron will be working more closely with the ITI for an initial period of three years. The agreement encompasses primarily ITI congresses and symposia as well as the contribution of educational material for the ITI community in its area of expertise. Mectron is at present one of a select group of companies known as industry partners of the ITI. “This global ITI initiative is based on a modular sponsorship concept that allows us to meet the individual needs of our sponsors,” said Charlotte Stilwell, president of ITI. “It represents a mutually beneficial, longer-term commitment made by carefully selected companies that share similar educational and scientific, evidence-based principles as the ITI. We are very happy to welcome Mectron on board.” ■ 14 DENTAL ASIA MAY / JUNE 2022
