Straumann has signed a collaboration agreement with the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam (ACTA) with the goal of furthering education in dental implantology.
The collaboration led to a new dental education concept for oral implantology in the bachelor/master dental curriculum, Straumann announced. Going forward, ACTA's undergraduate program will include teaching on all basic aspects of oral implantology, including prosthetics, diagnosis, compliance, and treatment planning -- subjects that are often covered only in postgraduate courses, according to the company.
Straumann materials and procedures will be employed at the school.
