Master Preventative Dentistry with iTOP

Learn from industry leaders, master advanced biofilm control, and refine your skills with our exclusive iTOP events tailored for dental professionals.

A hands-on workshop that will help you rethink and reframe your approach to oral hygiene.

The new gold-standard in oral health maintenance, adopted by professionals worldwide.

What is iTOP?

Individually Trained Oral Prophylaxis is an innovative, systematic approach that focuses on mastering biofilm management to optimise oral health. More than just theory, iTOP is a practical journey designed to teach dental professionals worldwide how to transform oral hygiene practices and effectively coach patients toward lifelong healthy habits.

The unique Touch to Teach (T2T) methodology empowers you to deliver collaborative, patient-centred education. This approach not only sharpens your skills in biofilm control but also enhances your ability to motivate patients to improve their oral care behaviours, driving better patient outcomes and long-term success.

 

Transforming the way your patients perceive their oral health.

An iTOP workshop is more than just a seminar; it’s an opportunity to reignite your passion for oral hygiene education. You’ll gain valuable insights into new tools and techniques that will not only improve your patients' oral health but also enhance their overall well-being.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a recent graduate, iTOP Seminars provide a unique chance to expand your knowledge, refine your clinical skills, and truly make a lasting impact on your patients’ health and happiness. Join us to reshape the way you approach patient care and elevate your practice to new heights.

Empowering you to become an oral health coach for your patients.
