Advanced Certification Pathway
Program Overview
The Live Implant Training Institute (LIT) offers an intensive, high-level training program specifically designed for experienced surgical and prosthetic dentists. This program equips professionals to pursue advanced certification in oral implantology, endorsed by leading U.S.-based dental implant academies.
The credentialing journey for oral implantologists traditionally follows this path:
1. Fellowship – Entry-level clinical and academic recognition
2. Mastership – Intermediate clinical proficiency
3. Diplomate – The highest level of clinical expertise and academic excellence
This Level 4 program focuses on preparing participants to achieve Diplomate status through documented clinical cases and structured academic training.
Program Structure
Developed by Dr. Virgil Mongalo and Dr. Anas Jebrini, this four-module course integrates hands-on surgical experience, restorative procedures, and academic preparation for written and oral board exams.
