iTOP- Individual Training Oral Prophylaxis (Introductory Level)

Developed by MUDr. Jiří Sedelmayer, iTOP (Individually Trained Oral Prophylaxis) is transforming preventive oral health. Leveraging cutting-edge research and innovative methods, iTOP redefines how you teach and execute brushing techniques, ensuring your patients adopt and maintain effective oral hygiene. Our training addresses the shortcomings of traditional approaches, equipping you with practical skills and strategies to enhance daily practice and boost patient motivation.

At Touch to Teach, we believe true learning comes from doing. This hands-on approach, central to iTOP seminars, provides practical experience with the right tools and techniques under expert guidance. It ensures you gain the skills needed to effectively teach your patients, bridging the gap between knowledge and practice in their oral hygiene and health education.
