We know that when we perform direct bonding procedures, our adhesives and restorative materials can cause proteolytic responses in the dentin structure, which may ultimately lead to failure at the interface. However, we tend to overlook the possibility of similar outcomes with our resin cements. As we create the same hybridization of the dentin, there is a potential for failure due to bacterial contamination, insufficient infiltration, and the acidity of our resin cement. This CE webinar aims to explore a cementation process that can significantly improve the success of this critical restorative procedure.


Dominate Posterior Composites by Leveraging Material Advancements

Delivering optimal posterior composites often pose pain points for even the most technically skilled practitioner. Challenges with isolation, placement and layering, predictable curing, contour and contacts, and final finish/polish and esthetics, sometimes lead to underwhelming outcomes. This CE webinar is designed to provide updates on materials and techniques, which when integrated, can resolve many of the pain points facing doctors, and lead to better outcomes, happier patients, and greater satisfaction in practice.

One of the most popular restorative options available today for patients is the use of full-contoured milled zirconia. Advances in new multilayered zirconia blocks and sintering technology, combined with the ability to super-fast mill zirconia restorations, affords the opportunity to provide single-visit zirconia restorations for our patients in a fast and efficient manner. Zirconia restorations can be predictably and efficiently milled, sintered, polished, and delivered in as little as an hour. In this CE webinar, Karyn M. Halpern DMD, MS will discuss the chairside workflow using Zirconia. The properties and clinical applications of the latest zirconia blocks will be reviewed. Techniques on how to pre-polish, polish after sintering, and stain and glaze will be presented.

The Truth About Occlusion and Rethinking "Normal"
Presenter: Dr. Kelly Tanner, PhD, RDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
What is the occlusion on the right? How about the left? What does this mean for your patient’s oral health? Malocclusion or misalignment can lead to oral maladies that increase the risk of tooth loss and periodontal disease. Malocclusion may also be a marker for airway issues, TMJ disorders, and migraines, significantly impacting the patient's overall health. Receding gums and tooth wear isn't something we should dismiss as "normal". Taking the time to research these conditions can help us identify factors leading to long-term damage, so our patients enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles - saving them from painful procedures or high costs down the line.







The Five Dimensions of Tongue Tie
Presenter: Shirley Gutkowski, RDH, BSDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
A revolution has been occurring and it has some people pretty uncomfortable. In school we learned of ankyloglossia, the pictures showed a tongue that was completely tethered to the floor of the mouth. We were taught that if the patient can talk and eat there's no reason to "clip it." Today we know of new ways to actually measure the mobility of the tongue, when, why, and how to release the tongue and how important orofacial myofunctional therapy is to all of sleep, with or without a functional release.

Guest: Dr. Lauren Rainey
So we're beginning to hear more and more about the benefits of warming composite. For one thing, because of the lower viscosity at the time of application, it's a whole lot easier on your hand. But the real benefit lies in adaptation and we all know that the better adaptation, the less likely we'll see recurrent decay and post-operative sensitivity. To tell us why she loves warming composite and how easy it is to make the transition in your operatory to this technique, is our guest Dr. Lauren Rainey. Dr. Rainey is a regular contributor on Viva Learning.com and currently teaches direct restorative techniques to dentists in the US & Canada.
