The SAC Classification in Implant Dentistry

The SAC classification offers an objective, evidence-based framework for gauging the difficulty, complexity and risk of implant treatment in a given clinical situation, and with it for guiding both patient selection and planning. This fully revised second edition updates the original scheme to fit the techniques, materials and technology in clinical use today. It explains the reasoning behind the revision and how the assessment tool arrives at a particular classification, with new cases showing its practical application. It is especially useful for the clinician in training who needs to recognise when a case exceeds their level of experience.
