ABOUT ICOI

ICOI is the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, the largest association for dental implantology worldwide.
The association consists mainly of dentists who have chosen implants as the focus of their work. ICOI consists of a large number of local associations and is also supported by institutions such as IAI and ADIA.
We specialize in training dentists in various fields of implantology. The tailor-made programs should provide the participants with a better understanding of implantology as well as field-proven knowledge in order to optimize the day-to-day processes of the individual participants and in the practices. As a core part of our work, we attach particular importance to a practice-oriented education with a good level of hands-on.
