“The Great Resignation”, is one of the main macro-trends that will shape the post pandemic world. Is academia and higher education also affected? All signs show that it is and in ways that could have significant implications for the future of higher education.
My name is Nikos Mattheos and I am a periodontist, researcher and an academic teacher. I believe sharing and opening ourselves to discussion and debate is the only way to improve and progress!
The purpose of this site is simply to share some of my thoughts, ideas and work with peers and students.
Join me in a journey to teaching and learning of Implant Dentistry!

Computer Assisted Implant Surgery is increasingly popular, with almost every implant system racing to deliver the most reliable technology and protocols. Either as static or dynamic, CAIS promises unprecedented accuracy in implant placement and evidence now shows that it delivers. But is it just about accuracy? How reliable is this technology and how important is a millimetre after all? Is it worth the cost and trouble? Can this technology transform the way we practice implant dentistry, or will it remain a premium gadget mainly targeting complex cases in ‘up-market’ clinics?
These were some of our genuine questions when we embarked in a long project assessing computer assisted surgical technology in practice. If you share these questions, then the article that follows is for you!
