A consensus conference to develop curriculum guidelines in implant dentistry for dental hygiene programs was held on June 16, 1995 in Monterey, California. The conference was sponsored by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, the American College of Oral Implantology, the American Society of Osseointegration, and the Association of Dental Implant Auxiliaries & Practice Management. The guidelines, which will be distributed to dental hygiene program directors, are printed in their entirety.
