Achieving compliant dental unit waterlines (DUWL) requires more than random maintenance; it requires a disciplined, repeatable strategy. This CE webinar provides a comprehensive breakdown of the proven Test, Shock, and Maintain protocol, designed to ensure your practice meets or exceeds CDC and EPA standards for water quality. Participants will learn why testing is the critical first step in any protocol—identifying hidden biofilm loads before they lead to failure. We will explore the technical nuances of shocking to clear existing contamination and the daily importance of maintaining lines to prevent regrowth. Integrating these steps into a unified system that simplifies compliance and protects patients ensures long-term clinical success.

The difference between Biomimetic/Natural and conventional dentistry is that biomimetic attempts to duplicate the missing tooth structure with restorative materials that match their natural physical properties. A key aspect of this is to dramatically reduce stress on the adhesive materials so they can provide long-term use and durability for direct and indirect restorations. If clinical techniques have high-stress then the bonds will be low, conversely, if the clinical techniques have low-stress then the bonds will be high and more likely to succeed. This CE webinar will discuss and illustrate low-stress, high-bond techniques for direct composites as well as techniques on blending and highlighting your restorations. Key clinical tips will be shown to increase the esthetics of direct composites.

We’ve all seen the headlines – “Fluoride is Poison”, “Fluoride Decreases IQ”, “Fluoride is an Industrial Waste”. Apart from stirring up public discussion, this type of press may result in new challenges for practicing clinicians. Historically, the biggest push back to varnish was and still may be cost but how do you handle the health concerns a patient may have? As tough as these questions are, at least they mean there is room for discourse! As you know, some patients might outright refuse and not be open to conversation.
In this CE webinar, we will explore how to overcome fluoride hesitancy among patients with practical recommendations you can implement into your everyday routine. We’ll review current, high-quality research that clearly demonstrates the safety and benefits of fluoride, while also sharing practical communication strategies to help you address patient concerns, rebuild trust, and continue advancing prevention in your practice. With the removal of systemic fluorides, the dental hygiene community is on the front line in caries prevention.

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.

The days of 35 shades of composite are over and so are the days of composites that stick to everything but teeth. Introducing: bold new composites that do everything better than what we had before. Better handling, better shades, better management of ambient light. These are truly new and the best we’ve ever seen.

There are some dentists who boldly (or quietly) love and respect a different material, but for all the rest, who say, “Yeah, but…” there must be another way. Imagine a clinical day without recurrent decay…there is a way! At the end of this CE webinar, participants should be able to:
• Contrast ormocers from composites and glass ionomers
• Defend the evidence for sealants
• Witness caries lesion arrest
The only constant in dental materials is change! Technological and chemical innovations are offering impressive advancements. Today’s conventional composites offer clinicians two options: First, the esthetic traditional layering technique and second, the bulk-fill technique. The former being the choice for most restorations in the anterior smile zone and the latter, often selected for the posterior regions of the mouth. While bulk-fill materials typically are deep-curing, time saving and offer clinical efficiency, they too often lack the esthetic properties required for beautiful esthetically demanding anterior restorations. For this reason, most clinicians have a second composite system in office that is designed to be placed in two-millimeter increments and will sometimes require a variety of shades to meet the esthetic demands. A new next-generation of resin composites is emerging. One that offers you the clinical efficiency of a bulk-fill, with an easy cluster shade-matching protocol and phenomenal esthetics! With outstanding, non-sticky handling and excellent polishability, perhaps now you only need one class of material for all of your restorative needs. At the conclusion of the CE webinar the attendees will have a clearer understanding of the clinical impact that this new chemistry and technology can have on their everyday restorative dentistry. More importantly, the attendees can evaluate if these evolutions may have a place in their own clinical practice.
Join Dr. Matt Nejad in this one-hour CE webinar as he explores the transformative impact of Digital and CAD/CAM technology in biomimetic dentistry. This webinar will delve into the significant advantages that digital dentistry and CAD/CAM offer, particularly in achieving precise, predictable, and natural-looking restorations that mimic natural tooth structure. Participants will gain insight into the latest recommended materials and their applications, streamlined workflows for enhanced practice efficiency, and practical tips on integrating these technologies into daily dental practice. The webinar will feature case presentations that highlight innovative approaches and improvements in restorative workflows. Whether you are looking to refine your skills or integrate new techniques, this webinar will provide valuable knowledge and practical solutions for going digital with advancing your biomimetic dentistry.

For those of us who are doing chairside milling we have a lot more choices in materials than we did several years ago. In fact, there is now a CAD CAM block that actually does not require sintering. Why is this significant? Because it shaves off as much as 25 minutes from the in-office manufacturing process. Today we'll be talking to Dr. Jennifer Bell, a full-time dentist in NC, who is all about high quality dentistry with an emphasis on efficiency. She is big into digital dentistry and has had great success with her now favorite milling block. Today she will be offering all sorts of recommendations that focus on efficient same day dentistry, including 3D Printing.

Part of the strategy of a successful practice, as our guest points out, is to get the patient to become part of the conversation. This of course helps with case acceptance and patient satisfaction. We'll be talking about the importance of cusp protection in our restorations and why it's so important to consider a crown versus composite restorative. We'll also discuss how the standardization of dental materials within a given practice helps improve efficiency and productivity.
Dr. Derse is a mentor at the Kois Center in Seattle, WA and has lectured internationally on cosmetics, restorative dentistry, aligner therapy, and case presentation and acceptance.
You Don’t ONLY Use Glass Ionomer, Do You?
