From 2015-2016, he served as the head of the Oral Biology Laboratory at one of the highest ranking dental school’s in the world (University of Bern, Switzerland) under Chairs Professor Anton Sculean (Periodontology) and Daniel Buser (Oral Surgery). He completed his undergraduate degree and Masters in Cell Biology at the University of Western Ontario in Canada, a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology and a dr. med. dent. thesis at the University of Bern, Switzerland, and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Laval, Canada. He has currently published over 150 peer-reviewed articles in the top ranking dental and biomaterials journals and is the primary editor of two textbooks.

His main research interests involve the use of growth factors used for bone and periodontal regeneration, osteoinductive bone grafting materials; collagen barrier membranes and guided bone regeneration in implant dentistry. Dr. Miron is widely considered one of the top young investigators in the field of implant dentistry having recently been awarded many internationally recognized prizes including the International Team for Implantology (ITI) Andre Schroeder Prize (2016), the International Association of Dental Research (IADR) Young Investigator of the Year in the field of Implant Dentistry (2015), the Canadian IADR Hatton Award recipient (2015), and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Young Investigator Grant Award (2014).

Dr. Miron and Dr. Joseph Choukroun recently edited a 15 chapter textbook titled: “Platelet Rich Fibrin in Regenerative Dentistry: Biological Background and Clinical Indications” gathering collaborations from 20 co-authors from around the globe. Furthermore, a second textbook titled: “Next Generation Biomaterials for Bone and Periodontal Biomaterials” is currently underway in collaboration with Dr. Yufeng Zhang. Together they have formed one of the strongest regenerative labs in the dental field focused on the development of new biomaterials utilized in dentistry introduced to the markets in North America, Europe and Asia.

Dr. Paul Newitt graduated from the University of British Columbia Faculty of Dentistry in 1993 and in 1994 completed an Internship in Oral Medicine at the BC Cancer Agency under the mentorship of Dr Joel Epstein. He began private practice in 1995 and opened his clinic, 

smile.ca in Vancouver in 1999. 

Dr. Newitt has focused heavily on microscope enhanced, laser assisted, cosmetic and Implant dentistry since obtaining his Microscopy training at the Newport Coast Oral Facial Institute in 2005. 

Dr Newitt established and managed Canada’s first laser study group with Dr Glenn Van As from 2004 to 2011 and had the honour of having Dr. Theadore Maiman, the Inventor of the worlds first working laser, as a member and friend. In 2005 & 2006 Dr Newitt developed and organized the Laser Convergence Symposiums, in Vancouver B.C. where international speakers and companies specializing in the field of Laser Dentistry presented the latest clinical and technological advances. 

Dr Newitt obtained his Cosmetic Dentistry training between 2008 and 2011 with the California Centre for Advanced Dental Studies before becoming a Clinical Instructor for that same group and later, the Frontier Institute at the University of British Columbia. At this time Dr Newitt was also running, in conjunction with Dr Adam Pite, the Aesthetic Boot Camp study clubs, focused on smile design and aesthetic dentistry.

In 2016, Dr Newitt collaborated with Dr William Liang and established BITE CLUB, the Basic Implant Training and Education Club, which focuses on the restorative/prosthetic aspects of Implantology. By 2018 BITE CLUB study clubs were running in Vancouver, Victoria and White Rock, British Columbia.
