ABOUT S.A.I.F.
From professional knowledge
to clinical experience.
Practical courses in implantology and oral surgery.
S.A.I.F. offers practical courses for dentists who want to develop their clinical skills. We plan each course around the participant’s experience, learning goals and need for supervision.
THE STORY BEHIND
Why S.A.I.F. was founded.
S.A.I.F. grew from a need its founder, Saif Al-Shamari, experienced as a dentist who wanted to develop his skills in dentoalveolar surgery.
“There are many courses with theoretical teaching and exercises on plastic models, pig jaws and other phantoms. They can be valuable for learning, but they were not enough for me to feel confident treating my own patients.
Clinical reality is different. A patient can feel pain, become tired or find it difficult to keep their mouth open. Bleeding, saliva, the tongue and limited visibility create demands that a model cannot reproduce in the same way.
That is why I looked for courses where I could treat real patients under experienced teachers who had time to explain, support and help throughout. I wanted experience I could take home and build on in my own clinic.
Today, I want to help dentists in the same position I was in years ago. With S.A.I.F., I want to offer the practical experience, guidance and support that can help dentists who have a little surgeon inside them get started with surgical treatment in their own clinics.”
— Saif Al-Shamari, founder of S.A.I.F.
