Mustafa

Mustafa – Finland · Dentist since 2024

Individually planned course

ESIRO · 5 days · 2026

My experience with the S.A.I.F. course in implantology and wisdom teeth extraction was excellent. With two years of experience as a general dentist and previous surgical experience, I wanted to improve my skills and learn more. The course offered a great balance of theory and hands-on practice with real patients under the guidance of experienced surgeons.

The tutors were amazing, very supportive, and always encouraged me to push my limits, even with challenging cases. One memorable experience was learning a sinus lift technique during an interesting patient case.

The support and communication with the S.A.I.F. team were also very helpful. I would highly recommend this course to any dentist who wants to learn through hands-on experience with real patients.

Intensive Implantology and Bone Grafting

ESIRO · 5 days · 2026

Before the S.A.I.F. course, I had placed one implant under supervision. During the course, I learned the implant procedure from start to finish and became much more confident. After the course, I was able to place several implants independently.

The tutors were calm and excellent at explaining each step, and Saif’s theory sessions and case discussions before meeting the patients were very helpful. One of my highlights was performing an internal sinus elevation under the tutor’s guidance.

There was a good atmosphere with the other dentists, and Saif guided us from day one to the end and was always there to answer any questions.

I remember how much more comfortable and confident I felt on the last day compared to the first. I would highly recommend this course to any dentist who wants to gain practical implant experience. I’m already looking forward to my second S.A.I.F. course in Brazil on external sinus elevations!

ESIRO · 5 days · 2026

An incredibly inspiring course that combines solid professional teaching with valuable clinical experience. I have particularly appreciated the opportunity to work practically with implantology and bone grafting on patients under supervision. The teaching has been both relevant and motivating and has given me new perspectives on treatment options in the clinic. I would certainly recommend the course to other dentists who want to strengthen their skills in this field.

Et utrolig inspirerende kursus, der kombinerer solid faglig undervisning med værdifuld klinisk erfaring. Jeg har særligt værdsat muligheden for at arbejde praktisk med implantologi og knogleopbygning på patienter under supervision. Undervisningen har været både relevant og motiverende og har givet mig nye perspektiver på behandlingsmulighederne i klinikken. Jeg vil bestemt anbefale kurset til andre tandlæger, der ønsker at styrke deres kompetencer inden for området.

Intensive Implantology and Bone Grafting

ESIRO · 5 days · 2026

I attended an implantology course in Barcelona with Saif and can warmly recommend it to other dentists with an interest in implantology. The teaching was specific and relevant to the challenges you encounter in the clinic. Saif was good at putting his clinical considerations into words and explaining what to pay attention to during treatment. This made it easier to understand the connection between planning, the surgical steps and the desired result. The opportunity to ask questions and discuss treatment choices was a major strength of the course and gave me a great deal of professional benefit. I came home with new knowledge and greater confidence in my approach to implant treatment – and with a desire to build on what I had learned.

Jeg har været på implantologikursus i Barcelona med Saif og kan varmt anbefale det til andre tandlæger med interesse for implantologi. Undervisningen var konkret og relevant for de problemstillinger, man møder i klinikken. Saif var god til at sætte ord på sine kliniske overvejelser og forklare, hvad man skal være opmærksom på undervejs i behandlingen. Det gjorde det lettere at forstå sammenhængen mellem planlægningen, de kirurgiske trin og det ønskede resultat. Muligheden for at stille spørgsmål og drøfte behandlingsvalg var en stor styrke ved kurset og gav mig et godt fagligt udbytte. Jeg kom hjem med ny viden og større sikkerhed i min tilgang til implantatbehandling – og med lyst til at bygge videre på det, jeg havde lært.

Intensive Implantology and Bone Grafting

ESIRO · 5 days · 2026

The implantology and bone grafting course in Barcelona was a turning point in my professional development. I attended with only theoretical knowledge of implants and experience in other surgical procedures, but had never placed an implant independently. The course gave me the confidence and practical experience to perform implant surgeries independently, from planning and case selection to managing complications.

The teachers were highly skilled and excellent at guiding us in a comfortable environment. Saif provided invaluable support before, during, and after surgeries. He helped me learn how to assess each case, anticipate possible complications and determine the best treatment approach. He adapted case selection to my needs and genuinely cared about each dentist’s development and progress.

As the only dentist performing surgeries at my clinic, gaining confidence to work independently was essential. This course made all the difference, and I am now able to perform implant surgeries independently.

I’m already looking forward to the next course in Brazil and taking on more complex cases.

An exciting and educational course that gave me valuable professional knowledge and practical experience in implantology and bone grafting.

The best part of the course was the opportunity to carry out the treatments myself on patients under supervision. It provided a unique learning experience and greater confidence in the clinical procedures.

A really good experience that I can warmly recommend.

Et spændende og lærerigt kursus, som gav mig værdifuld faglig viden og praktisk erfaring inden for implantologi og knogleopbygning.

Det bedste ved kurset var muligheden for selv at udføre behandlingerne på patienter under supervision. Det gav en helt særlig læring og større sikkerhed i de kliniske procedurer.

En rigtig god oplevelse, som jeg varmt kan anbefale.
