Overview

Mission

To foster the advancement of the science and art of oral implantology in all of its phases throughout the world; to foster research and education; to improve patient awareness through education; to optimize patient care; to foster ethical standards; to generally do all such acts that are consistent with promoting the exchange of current and innovative dental implant-related concepts, ideas and evidence-based procedures, as well as basic and clinical research in all areas of oral implantology; and to honor those who have made significant contributions to the science and art of oral implantology.

What it reported doing in 2024

Education (meetings) - to serve the needs of all of our members, including each segment of the dental implant team, and to provide them with high quality education to better serve their patients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
