The Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries (ADIA) is an exceptional resource for dental implant professionals. Focusing on educational advancement and collaboration, it supports a team-based approach where each auxiliary member has a recognized role. Through its connection to the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), ADIA offers a broad scope of continuing education on multiple levels (virtual, international, national, and regional), making it accessible for the entire auxiliary team, administrative and clinical staff. Our webinars, symposiums, hands-on learning, and more are outstanding resources for enhancing skills, staying updated on best practices, and networking within the implant dentistry community.
The Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries (ADIA) is committed to the ongoing education and advancement of auxiliary dental implant team members. ADIA promotes collaboration between team members in implant dentistry. Every member plays an essential role in implant dentistry, and ADIA delivers opportunities for advancement in education and contributions to their field for auxiliary members of implant dentistry teams.
The Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries (ADIA) is committed to delivering premier continuing education and advanced training to every member of the dental implant auxiliary team, empowering them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to be indispensable in the success of implant dentistry. Recognizing the unique contributions of each team member, the ADIA provides a pathway for members to elevate their expertise and stand out in the field. Through its esteemed credentialing program, the ADIA offers three levels of professional distinction—Certified Implant Auxiliary, ADIA Fellowship, and ADIA Master’s Status—each symbolizing excellence and dedication to implant dentistry.
The Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries provides high-quality, cost-effective continuing education at all levels. ADIA holds multiple-day meetings in conjunction with most ICOI symposia, providing ample opportunities for development and collaboration for auxiliary team members of all kinds.
These meetings bring cutting-edge implant education to our members and help foster comradery and the exchange of ideas with colleagues. This cooperation within the field ensures that all auxiliary team members can implement best practices for delivering quality care for their patients.
ADIA has also established educational criteria and training for dental auxiliary certification. These certification programs are tailored to specific members of the dental implant team and focus on developing and broadening the specific skillsets they need to provide the most effective care.
Whether you are an office administrator, implant coordinator, dental assistant, or hygienist, the programs provide thorough and detailed education that showcases the most up-to-date information and strengthens your position as a valuable dental implant team member.
Table clinic presentations serve as a forum that allows all dental implant auxiliaries to share their knowledge and experience. Table clinics take place at our ADIA meetings and are 5 to 10-minute presentations given via laptop and presented multiple times throughout the session.
These clinics can cover any topics relevant to implant dentistry and are a great opportunity for auxiliary implant team members to share the valuable knowledge they’ve developed over their careers. They are an excellent way to collaborate with your peers and colleagues. These clinics are also part of the requirements for ADIA Fellowship credentialing.
