Dental professionals have a key role in patients' instruction, motivation and education. iTOP turns dental professionals into oral health heroes.
Dr Jiri Sedelmayer developed three criteria within the iTOP concept that determine the quality of oral hygiene tools and techniques: effectiveness, acceptance and non-traumatic use.
During iTOP, dental professionals master four effective biofilm control techiques, including the Bass technique, Loop technique, Solo technique and use of calibrated interdental brushes. Hands-on training is led by certified iTOP staff that have many years of experience in training their colleagues and patients.
iTOP is a cutting-edge programme in prophylaxis where oral hygiene techniques are practised in the mouth, in collaboration with iTOP instructors using the Touch To Teach approach. Touch to Teach is the most effective method of correcting, improving and guiding patient oral hygiene techniques.
iTOP is a practical, hands-on training programme in biofilm management and patient motivation needed to implement these refined skills on a daily basis.
Individually instructed oral care guidance leading to lifelong oral health – this is the ambitious goal of iTOP.
iTOP consists of four modules – Introductory, Advanced, Recall, and Educator – and is designed for all dental professionals. Each iTOP module has a hands-on component called "Touch To Teach", which is a unique concept within dental education, where oral hygiene tools and techniques are learned through action.
iTOP courses are led by a certified iTOP lecturer and an instructor team.
The goal of this program is to help participants materialise their aspiration to become an iTOP Instructor or iTOP Lecturer. With dedication and commitment, and through participation in iTOP Educator seminar locally and internationally, both certifications can be successfully earned.
