Attachments play a critical role in aligner biomechanics, yet the method used to create and deliver attachments can significantly influence clinical efficiency, predictability, and esthetic outcomes. This CE webinar explores the differences between traditional attachment creation methods and custom attachment systems delivered via pre-fabricated trays. Participants will examine common challenges associated with conventional attachment workflows—such as technique sensitivity, variability in attachment shape, excess composite cleanup, and inconsistent engagement—and compare them with newer custom approaches designed to improve consistency and streamline clinical procedures. Practical considerations related to treatment planning, attachment placement, and bonding best practices will be discussed to help clinicians make informed decisions when selecting an attachment strategy for aligner therapy.

Oral health for older adults is an increasingly significant challenge in dentistry today. As people age, their risk of developing caries, periodontal disease, and other oral health complications rises. This heightened risk is often exacerbated by systemic health conditions, polypharmacy, and decreased dexterity, which can impact daily hygiene practices. Unlike younger populations, older adults face unique barriers, including complex medical histories, cognitive decline, and notable changes in insurance coverage after retirement. These factors not only affect their access to dental care but also influence how treatments must be planned and delivered. This evidence-based CE webinar equips dental professionals with practical strategies to enhance the quality of care for older adults in dental office settings. Participants will learn to identify the specific caries risk factors associated with aging patients, apply preventive and minimally invasive management strategies, and adjust treatment protocols for medically fragile individuals. The webinar will also address the impact of changing insurance structures after retirement on access to care, as well as how dental teams can navigate these challenges to provide effective and patient-centered outcomes.

Burnout is more than just feeling tired — it’s a serious occupational phenomenon affecting dental professionals at every level. From packed schedules and patient anxiety to perfectionism and lack of autonomy, dentistry is especially vulnerable to chronic stress. This CE webinar helps participants recognize the early signs of burnout, understand the factors that contribute to it, and learn practical, sustainable tools to prevent or recover from burnout — individually and as a team.

In the ever-evolving landscape of dental imaging, ensuring radiation safety remains a cornerstone of ethical and effective practice. This CE webinar explores current best practices, regulatory updates, and emerging technologies that impact radiation use in the dental field. Dental professionals will also be provided with a comprehensive review of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principles, digital radiography advancements, and safety protocols tailored to modern clinical environments. A key focus will be on digital radiology, including the differences between direct and indirect digital imaging systems. Participants will examine the benefits and limitations of each approach—direct systems (such as CMOS and CCD sensors) that provide immediate image capture, and indirect systems (like PSP plates) that require scanning but offer greater flexibility in certain clinical scenarios.
The expanding landscape of the oral microbiome is redefining our understanding of oral health and disease. With the rapid increase in new therapeutics and changing evidence, we can still practice preventive rather than reparative dentistry.
Deep Marginal Elevations (DME) can be very technique sensitive. Often times if the curing light cannot reach the restorative material due to sheer depth, we must come up with an alternative solution. Dual cured restorative materials have answered that puzzle. Dual cured materials are often misunderstood in the daily routine of a restorative dentist. This is mainly due to the clinician’s high comfort level with traditional light cured composite resins as their “go-to” material. During this CE webinar, I will explain the different mechanics between light cured versus dual cured materials and the role each has on stresses created and the impact on bonding. Then I will give a step by step systematic approach in using a dual cured material to obtain predictable and repeatable results when performing DME procedures. Finally, I will show clinical examples of Deep Marginal Elevations with dual cured materials and tips and tricks help obtain the desired result.

According to Dr. Brian Novy, the application of fluoride varnish is, hands down, the most significant procedure we can do for our patients. But as with any procedure, there’s a right way—and a wrong way—to apply fluoride varnish. Dr. Novy will shed light on common mistakes that can undermine its effectiveness, a phenomenon he calls the "fluoride bomb." We’ll discuss what can go wrong during application, how to avoid these pitfalls, and what steps you can take to ensure your patients receive the full benefits of this essential preventive treatment. Dr. Brian Novy is a practicing dentist in Boston MA. He is President of the National CAMBRA Coalition, faculty at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Western University of Health Sciences, and consumer representative for the US Food and Drug Administration Dental Products Panel.

We'll be addressing a wide range of patients that have lots of saliva, an infinite source of blood, all stored in their gingiva, a gag reflex that's activated as soon as you tell them what you're about to do, and tongues that are more muscular and stronger than my biceps. So lets get started with a dentist that thinks out of the box and is always looking for a better and faster way to do things. Dr. Ankur Gupta is our guest, a general dentist from North Ridgeville, OH.
