According to the EAO, the certificate was developed to raise standards of oral implant therapy across Europe. Obtaining the certificate demonstrates that the holder is competent to perform basic and advanced implant treatment, the organisation stated.

GIDE has a teaching staff of clinicians and researchers from the US, Europe and Australasia, and provides online dental education in the fields of aesthetic and implant dentistry, periodontics and oral surgery, among others. It offers a one-year Master Clinician Program in Implant Dentistry in the US, Canada, Europe, Taiwan, China and Australia, which is taught in the classroom and online by top implant clinicians and researchers. The intensive programme includes hands-on courses, lectures, live surgeries and case presentations.
