BEST For Dentistry

Since that time, over forty years ago, the Australian Society of Implant Dentistry has remained in the forefront of implant development, and has grown into an active viable society represented in different states of Australia and overseas. ASID actively promotes the advances and development in implant dentistry through seminars and lectures involving leading overseas lecturers. Post-graduate accreditation courses with examination - Levels I, II and III - are available for continuing education and the establishment of competence in implant procedures. ASID's Level IV Accreditation Course, including dissection and implant placement in cadavers, and other more advanced courses are also available.

The ASID is affiliated with the Australian Dental Association Incorporated (ADA), and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI).
