THE VANCOUVER MAXICOURSE

Connecting dentists with the most comprehensive and foundational dental implant training, led by
the most experienced team of oral implantologists in the Pacific Northwest.
The Vancouver MaxiCourse® is a structured program consisting of 30 days of education over ten
months. The program has been designed to impart the understanding of diagnostic and treatment
modalities necessary to properly treat patients who are candidates for dental implant therapy.
The 300-hour interdisciplinary approach utilizes a systematic buildup of didactic material, laboratory exercises, surgical demonstrations, clinical participation, and surgeries on your own patients. All surgeries are mentored and supervised by ABOI board-certified faculty members in the UBC Faculty of Dentistry.
With over a dozen years running the MaxiCourse and successfully supporting hundreds of dentists
in growing their implant practices, we have a proven track record of delivering the highest level of
education in Oral Implantology available

Module. Demonstration surgeries may include the following procedures:

• Tooth extraction
• Socket/ridge preservation
• Bone (particulate, block) grafting

LIVE SURGERY

The most powerful component of our program is live patient surgery, which takes places on 3 weekends of the Vancouver MaxiCourse. Your exposure to the possibilities within implant dentistry will expand as we progress through our curriculum, with participant surgeries and faculty-led demonstrations surgeries, from guided and non-guided implant placement to particulate, block,
and tunnel grafting, to sinus augmentation, to soft tissue grafting, and beyond.
Participants are encouraged to begin looking for patients within their own practice or their social networks, and to prepare those cases for the coming year. Share those cases on our exclusive Online Classroom platform and receive feedback from faculty as you refine your treatment planning skills and individual treatment plans
