ABOUT

What is the Casco Bay Study Club?

The Casco Bay Study Club is affiliated with the Seattle Study Club network, an international collaboration of dentists dedicated to promoting excellence in comprehensive dentistry. The Casco Bay Study Club (CBSC) is a group of Maine dentists who enjoy sharing ideas, discussing treatment concepts and learning from leading experts. We share the same philosophy on continuing education:  

  • The most successful outcomes result from total case management, an understanding of the overall picture and how each treatment or technique functions within it.

  • Our highest levels of comprehension are achieved as a direct result of participation and interactionrather than observation.

  • Learning from and with one's peers in a structured, supportive environment is the best way to reach one's highest potential in the field of dentistry.

Why you should join the cbsc

As technology rapidly evolves, a difficult yet innovative future lies ahead for those in dental health care. We want to know how to meet the needs of this ever-changing field, the skills and knowledge necessary, and how all aspects of dentistry – periodontics, oral surgery or endodontics – can be incorporated into one’s practice.

Members of the Casco Bay Study Club are dedicated to the advancement of team treatment planning and total case management as the optimal tools for achieving the best patient care. We meet monthly to review the latest technological advances and treatments, and share new techniques and styles of serving patients. We also collaborate on challenging cases so that our patients reap the benefits of an entire team of knowledgeable dentists.
