      Foreword

      The SAC Classification in Implant Dentistry

      Almost 20 years ago, the International Team for Implantology – ITI – formalized the SAC classification to categorize oral implant treatment procedures into three levels of difficulty: Straightforward, Advanced, and Complex. The SAC Classification in Implant Dentistry was published in 2009, and it immediately became clear that this approach to classifying treatment risk when planning patient treatment was a tool many dentists had been waiting for. Applying the SAC approach to the evaluation of patient-related risk factors and treatment modifiers has since become a standard procedure for many practitioners, contributing to a higher degree of predictability in the execution and outcome of proposed treatment. The SAC classification has been recognized by dental professionals as an objective, evidence-based framework, also making it an invaluable educational tool for both predoctoral and postgraduate training programs.

      As dental materials, technology, and clinical techniques have evolved in the intervening years, the ITI decided to review the SAC classification and present it to clinicians in an updated form: a digital book that can be accessed from any device or computer as needed. With its mission to promote and disseminate knowledge covering all aspects of implant dentistry and related tissue regeneration, the ITI recommends this SAC Assessment Tool to all professionals in the field.

      Acknowledgments

      It may be trite, but it is true: projects such as this do not succeed without the commitment and hard work of a large team of people. Consequently, we would like to acknowledge the following people and groups.

      The ITI Board of Directors trusted us to update one of the ITI’s crown jewels – the SAC Classification. This is a heady responsibility, as we know that the SAC Classification is widely used and respected by clinicians in implant dentistry. We thank the Board for their trust and support.

      The staff at the ITI Headquarters have supported us throughout the project. From the events team that organized our meetings, to the Communications and Education teams for providing material, all have worked cheerfully and willingly to help us. Of special note: many thanks to Kati Benthaus and Katalina Cano, our project managers, who have guided us through the process.

      Thanks must go to Stefan Keller and his fellow IT wizards at FERN who have turned our dreams of what we would like to do with the online tool into reality.

      Thanks also to Änne Kappeler and the team at Quint-essence. Their professionalism and patience have allowed us to produce something that we can all be truly proud of.

      Of course, we could not have done anything without the support of our colleagues on the Consensus Group who met in Zurich and Berlin and who toiled tirelessly to develop the framework for the new tool. Thanks also to the members of the ITI Education Committee and all the others who acted as our beta testers, and to those who have contributed material to this book. The quality of the group-achieved outcome is much, much more than the sum of the contributing parts.

      And finally, but most importantly, we must thank our wives, children and families for their understanding and support. We could not have done this without you.
