Stop Being Degenerative: How to Protect Dental Crowns from Microleakage and Secondary Decay

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.

Releasing tethered oral tissues (TOTs) as early as possible can have sweeping effects on a patient’s health. In this CE webinar, Dr. Poplin will review common problems related to tongue-ties and lip-ties, such as breastfeeding, speech, and dental issues. He will then discuss how the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser enables efficient, precise frenectomies, with minimal bleeding, minimal post-op discomfort and remarkably rapid healing.

Fiber Reinforced Composites - Their Place in Everyday Dentistry
Presenter: Dr. Lou Graham
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Supported with decades of research, this CE webinar dives into the enhanced value of short fiber-reinforced resin composites. What are they? These are composites, that have glass fibers placed in a variety of orientations and lengths to enhance the physical properties in load bearing areas. Do they replace your everyday composites and the answer is NO! What they do bring to the table are ways to enhance your restorations (especially endodontically treated teeth) and help reduce the risks of cracks and crack propagation.

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. As the years go by, nothing makes a dentist happier than restorations that have stood the test of time. Longevity of dental treatment firmly establishes quality, reliability, durability, and function. In the case of our pediatric patients we're looking to place dental restorations quickly, that will last for a long time. Our guest is Dr. Carla Cohn, a general dentist devoted solely to the practice of dentistry for children. She maintains private practice in Winnipeg, Canada.

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.

Guest: Dr. Mark Cannon
OSA is more common than you think. And for dentists, it's so important to identify this insidious condition as early as possible. Not only can it wreak havoc on your patient's teeth and gums, it can also cause serious systemic health issues for the adult, child and even newborn. Today we'll discuss integrative oral medicine and how it relates to conditions like OSA. We'll also discuss the importance of using biologically kind restorative materials that promote systemic health and predictable long-term clinical success. Our guest is Dr. Mark Cannon, a Professor of Otolaryngology, Division of Dentistry at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, and a member of the International Association of Pediatric Dentistry. In addition to maintaining a large private practice in the suburbs of Chicago, he is the Research Coordinator of the residency program at Ann and Robert Lurie Children’s Hospital, Chicago, Illinois. Dr. Cannon is on the Executive Board, current President (2023) and a Master Fellow of the American Academy for Oral and Systemic Health.
