Integrating Peri-Implantitis Research into Higher Education Curriculum
Developing and Integrating Evidence-Based Teaching Materials and Clinical Tools
The PERI-EDU project is carried out by an international consortium of universities and researchers with expertise in oral surgery, periodontology, implantology, and biomedical sciences. The partnership brings together academic and clinical experience from across Europe to develop innovative educational materials, clinical tools, and research-based teaching resources in the field of peri-implantitis.
The consortium combines scientific excellence with practical teaching experience, ensuring that the project results support both higher education and clinical practice. Through close cooperation, the partners contribute to the development of evidence-based solutions that strengthen the connection between research, education, and patient care.
