ARENA-Protocol™
Clinical Certification Program

Setting the benchmark for CSR prevention, documentation &
regenerative surgical research

A cornerstone of Ghanaati-Education is the establishment of ARENA-Protocol™ Certified Centers. The Certification Program establishes an international network of dental centers applying standardized regenerative surgical principles based on the ARENA-Protocol™ and Guided Open Wound Healing (GOWH™), and the management of Covered Socket Residuum (CSR).


Through this program, participating institutions implement structured diagnostic protocols, regenerative surgical workflows, and systematic clinical documentation.

Certified Centers contribute to the continuous improvement of regenerative dentistry and oral surgery while maintaining the highest standards of clinical quality and research. At the same time, this program accelerates research in this vital field—one of our founder’s greatest passions.

The Certification Process

The Ghanaati-Education Certification Program is embedded within the structured three-level education pathway.

Certification Step 1 - Completion of the International Curriculum 

Completion of the three-Level GE "International Curriculum in Regenerative & Health Focused Implant Dentistry - based on the ARENA-Protocol™ and Guided Open Wound Healing (GOWH™)" provides the scientific, diagnostic, and surgical foundation required for clinical implementation of the ARENA-Protocol™.

Participants acquire foundational, advanced, and expert clinical skills through:

- Lvele 1 - Foundational Skills* 
- Level 2 - Advanced Skills* 
- Level 3 - Expert Skills (Start documentation of required clinical documentation framework)


This marks the transition from structured education to clinical implementation.

Certification Step 2 - Mentored Clinical Implementation & Documentation 
(initiated during Level 3 of the International Curriculum) 

During Level 3 of the International Curriculum, participating institutions begin the structured clinical documentation required for certification. This documentation phase continues within the Certification Program until the required number of documented clinical cases has been completed.

(See below our requirements)

Certification Step 3 - Completion of Certification Requirements   

Once the required number of documented cases has been completed and reviewed according to the standards of the Clinical Certification Program, the institution becomes eligible for designation as a:

"Ghanaati-Education Certified Center"


  "Ghanaati-Education Certified Center"   

Certification confirms that the institution consistently applies the regenerative treatment protocols, documentation standards, and clinical evaluation framework of Ghanaati-Education.

Certified Centers become part of the international Ghanaati-Education clinical network.

* Completion of Education Levels 1 and 2 provides educational foundation required to enter the mentored clinical implementation phase of  educational Level 3.

Clinical Documentation Requirements for Certification 

To obtain the status of a Ghanaati-Education Certified Center, participating institutions must complete the three-level educational pathway and fulfill the defined clinical documentation requirements of the ARENA-Protocol™ Clinical Certification Program.
The documentation ensures standardized clinical implementation, quality control, and contribution to the ongoing research and development of regenerative treatment concepts.

Clinical Documentation Framework

Participating institutions must document clinical cases according to the following framework:

  • standardized pre- and post-treatment Visiogenics of clinical cases including Visiogenics-based implant planning
  • integration of Ghanaati-Education´s nutrition and hydration concept before and after surgery for at least six months
  • Use of Ghanaati-Education´s medical questionnaire for every patient undergoing surgery to learn the correlation between oral and systemic health
  • pathological and microbiological analysis of each operated CSR and cavitation 
  • Implementation of Ghanaati-Education´s Immune-Inflammatory-Index (III) to metabolically monitor the patients before and after surgery

Required Clinical Case Documentation

In addition to the documentation framework, participating institutions must document the following number of cases:

  • 50 Socket or ridge preservations after tooth extraction based on ARENA-Protocol™ and GOWH™
  • 50 Immediate implantations based on ARENA-Protocol™ and GOWH™
  • 50 Delayed implantations based on ARENA-Protocol™ and GOWH™
  • 25 Crestal sinus lifts after tooth extraction based on ARENA-Protocol™ and GOWH™ 
  • 25 Crestal sinus lifts after CSR surgery in the atrophic upper jaw based on ARENA-Protocol™ and GOWH™ 
  • 50 CSR surgeries in the upper and lower jaw based on ARENA-Protocol™ and GOWH™
  • Enrollment on all certification levels and associated live-surgery weekends

Required Documentation Elements:

  • Pre-and post-operative diagnostics 
  • Intraoperative documentation
  • Postoperative healing evaluation
  • Long-term follow-up documentation 

An essential requirement is the submission of tissue samples from every CSR-related surgery for microbiological and histological analysis within the certification framework. This ensures rigorous documentation, advances scientific research and transparency, and deepens understanding of potential CSR pathology.

Certification Validity

Certification as a Ghanaati-Education Certified Center is granted after successful completion of Certification Level 3 and fulfillment of the defined clinical documentation requirements.

The certification is valid for one year.

To maintain certification status and remain listed as a Ghanaati-Education Certified Center, institutions must continue to document clinical cases and participate in the ongoing mentoring framework of Level 3.
