Dental study clubs provide a major opportunity for dentists to meet with other dentists and dental team members and to learn in a friendly, non-threatening environment. They afford members the opportunity to increase their knowledge of and clinical skills in using new concepts, materials, techniques and devices.

AAID has created "AAID Study Club - A Mentor Program" to facilitate the creation and ongoing operation of study clubs for implant dentistry. The AAID Study Club Committee has the responsibility to provide managerial guidance, curriculum materials, promotional materials, facilitate obtaining continuing education credits and other support for AAID credentialed members who desire to start an AAID sponsored Dental Implant Study Club for continuing education within a local geographic area.
