What if hygiene wasn't simply a cleaning and wasn't dictated by an insurance company's definition of what should happen every six months?This CE webinar explores how Guided Biofilm Therapy can be integrated into a completely different approach to hygiene and preventive care - redesigning the entire experience around patient communication, diagnostics, frequency of care, perceived value, and the business model itself. Discover how GBT can become part of a modern, differentiated patient experience while moving beyond commoditized, insurance-driven hygiene. See how technology, positioning, and a new approach to care can deliver a better patient experience while building a more valuable and sustainable dental business.


Simplifying Veneer Cementation: Real-World Solutions for Predictable Delivery

Porcelain veneer cementation is one of the most technique-sensitive stages of aesthetic treatment. In this one-hour CE webinar, Dr. Jason Olitsky presents a practical, step-by-step approach to delivering veneer cases with greater confidence and predictability. The webinar will review the critical stages of veneer try-in and cementation, including provisional removal, bleeding control, isolation, color evaluation, porcelain preparation, seating, cement cleanup, finishing, and occlusal adjustment. Real-world challenges such as show-through, tight contacts, incomplete seating, poor fit, exposed margins, and open gingival embrasures will also be discussed. Participants will leave with practical strategies they can immediately apply to simplify veneer delivery and improve aesthetic outcomes.

What makes some composite veneers maintain their brilliance for years while others discolor prematurely? In this CE webinar, join Dr. Andrew Ballard for a science-driven exploration of the factors influencing long-term color stability in direct resin veneers. This webinar examines the relationship between polymer chemistry, degree of conversion, curing light performance, oxygen-inhibited layers, and composite filler particle size. Special attention will be given to finishing and polishing protocols and how surface texture and material selection influence staining, gloss retention, and restoration longevity. Discover practical, evidence-based strategies to minimize discoloration and create beautiful, durable composite veneers that stand the test of time.

Dental Implants – Parts, Pieces, Chemistry, and Compatibility
Presenter: Lynn Pencek, RDH, MS
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
We are 40 years since Professor Branemark introduced his research on osseointegration to the dental community. Dental Implants provide our patients with successful long-term restorative solutions for function, comfort, and aesthetics. Today, Dental Hygienists are seeing more patients with dental implants. Implant manufacturers have introduced new implant designs, surfaces, and surface chemistry that affect biocompatibility and maintenance protocols. There are concerns about what materials we use to reduce peri-implant inflammation, may negatively affect the implant surface's biocompatibility and the implant’s long-term success. This CE webinar will review dental implant component materials and design and the biological compatibility of commonly used instruments, technology, and therapeutic materials.







CAD CAM, Nano-hybrid Composite Crowns on Immediate Loading Implants in the Aesthetic Area: Temporary or Definitive Restoration?
Presenter: Dr. Amilkar Rocha
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
This CE webinar will discuss which criteria needs to be met such as optimal primary stability, correct 3D positioning, etc., during immediate implant placement in the anterior region. Additionally, the Dr. Rocha will discuss the creation of an immediate provisional restoration on the implant while respecting biological principles leading to preservation of the papillae, gingival volume, and recession prevention. A step-by-step case will be presented showcasing the use of a stratified composite resin for both the provisional restoration as well as the infrastructure.







The Revolution of Change: State of The Art Materials for Outstanding Patient Outcomes
Presenter: Dr. Ron Kaminer
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
The stress of day to day practice does not always allow us to introduce new materials into to our daily routines. Fear of failure and extensive learning curves often leave dentists stuck with materials that are not current and/or materials that may not work as well as a modern advancement. In this CE webinar, join us as we explore a new/updated restorative material and how it not only can change the way we practice but also how it benefits our patients.

Guest: Dr. Jeff Horowitz
We'll be talking about the 3D printer itself as well as the materials that go into them. So if you thinking about incorporating 3D printing into your practice stay tuned for a very interesting episode. Our guest is Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz, a seasoned clinician and educator who is passionate about dentists seeing themselves as Oral and Facial Health Care Physicians rather than tooth mechanics.

Guest: Dr. Brian Novy
Today we’re talking about direct restorative materials that can truly change the course of your patients’ dental health — and no, not just composite, but glass ionomer and resin-modified glass ionomer. Used strategically, these materials can help patients avoid a lifetime of fillings, crowns, and repeat dental work. And adopting this conservative approach doesn’t mean sacrificing revenue — in fact, building a practice focused on preserving healthy tooth structure attracts patients who value care that’s truly in their best interest. Joining us is Dr. Brian Nový, a leading cariologist at Virginia Commonwealth University with faculty appointments at Harvard and Western University, and a private practice owner in Salem, Massachusetts. He’ll explain how glass ionomer and RMGI bond to teeth, their clinical applications, address concerns about strength and aesthetics, and show how they can transform long-term patient outcomes.

Today, we’re tackling a question every restorative dentist has asked at some point: can one composite really do it all? For decades, we’ve accepted tradeoffs—great polish but limited strength, strong posterior composites with compromised esthetics. But composite technology has come a long way. According to our guest, Dr Susan McMahon, we’ve reached a point where a single universal composite can handle virtually every direct restorative case—and on top of that deliver stellar results. So if you’re looking to simplify your restorative workflow without compromising outcomes, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
