Dr. Oshidar Receives Mastership Award from the International Congress of Oral Implantology

Earlier this month, our very own Dr. Oshidar received his Mastership from the International Congress of Oral Implantology (ICOI)!

The ICOI is an association of general dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, endodontists, orthodontists, laboratory technicians, auxiliaries, industry representatives, researchers, faculty members, pre and post doctoral graduate dental students as well as the general public. Founded in 1972, it is devoted to providing implant education to the entire dental team to better serve its patients. The ICOI is the world’s largest dental implant organization, and also the world’s largest provider of continuing dental implant education.

In order to receive his Mastership, Dr. Oshidar had to meet the following requirements:
  • Provide a listing of forty 40 completed implant cases all of which were at least 12 months old and fully document ten cases on ICOI’s Case Documentation Form for Mastership and submit with the application
  • Provide documentation of completion of at least 100 continuing implant education hours in the preceding five years
  • Provide a letter of recommendation from a current ICOI Diplomate – which is the highest credentialing in the organization and the world
  • Submit evidence of having presented at least two  table clinics or poster presentations at ICOI meetings within the last five years or having served on an ICOI committee for a period of at least one  year or be willing to do so
  • Submit a current Curriculum Vitae
While Dr. Oshidar was in Chicago to receive his Mastership award medal, he gave a table top presentation of one of his surgeries to the Advanced Credentials Committee of the ICOI.

After watching Dr. Oshidar’s presentation, Dr. Christopher Ogunsalu – an ICOI Dimplomate – complimented him on his surgery and made the recommendation that Dr. Oshidar pursue the fast-track to obtaining his diplomacy.

Later this year, Dr. Oshidar will go to Jamaica to study with Dr. Christopher Ogunsalu and then take a written and oral exam to become an ICOI Diplomate.
