There have been two graduate students who have been trained by digital PBL-CBL method won the first prize and the third prize, respectively in the 12th and 10th BITC Finals for Implant Dentistry (BITC, Beijing Implant Training College, a platform dedicating to training/education and research in dental implantology). This competition is divided into four themes, namely bone augmentation theme, aesthetic area implant therapy theme, dentition loss implant therapy theme and digital implant therapy theme. One of the students won the first prize in “The Bone Augmentation Theme Competition of the 12th BITC Finals for Implant Dentistry”, another student won the third prize in “The Digital Implant Therapy Theme Competition of the 10th BITC Finals for Implant Dentistry”. The competition requires participants to present clinical studies or case reports of implant dentistry through PowerPoint presentation within a specified time. The ability to critically think, analyze and solve real problems and their communication skills have been cited as the scoring criteria of the competition. The two graduate students trained with digital PBL-CBL method but none in non-digital PBL-CBL group achieved excellent results in the BITC National Finals, illustrating the effectiveness of the digital PBL-CBL method.
