Читать книгу The SAC Classification in Implant Dentistry - Группа авторов - Страница 6

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.
