The vision for BITE CLUB arose from our perception of a vital need in the field of implant dentistry – more knowledge and instruction in the fundamentals of Oral Implantology. Having spoken with many Vancouver MaxiCourse graduates, there was universal consensus that current Continuing Dental Education offered in British Columbia did not sufficiently prepare them for the rigours involved in dedicating their year to the Vancouver MaxiCourse. We’ve created this study club both for restorative dentists desiring more comprehensive knowledge in implant surgery as well as those dentists serious about building their careers in Oral Implantology, looking for a logical stepping stone to the MaxiCourse.
Our Mission: To introduce the foundations of Oral Implantology to those practitioners that are new to the field. The program will start with the most basic information that is fundamental to understanding Oral Implantology and build on those foundations.
The BITE CLUB is a purely didactic course, focusing on implant diagnosis and how it relates to prosthetics. Case studies are part of the online curriculum, and model-based hands-on training will be included, for those who can come to Vancouver for an additional session.
Your first step with us is BITE Club I. BITE Club II will continue where BITE I finishes up, adding a seminar-focused case discussion element and more hands-on learning.
Is BITE CLUB for you? This is an ideal fit for:
- Restorative dentists looking for a greater understanding of the surgical aspect of Oral Implantology
- Dentists new to Oral Implantology who are seeking a beginner’s foundation program before enrolling in the AAID Vancouver MaxiCourse
- Implant dentists looking to fill in some of the knowledge gaps that surgical study clubs don’t provide.
GOALS OF THE BITE CLUB
I. Provide a systematic introduction to the nomenclature of Oral Implantology
II. Lay the foundation for communication and treatment planning
III. Create a study club dialogue focused on case study [both facilitator-led and member-led] and practical application
