In a world of scanners, lasers, and 3D printers, why would a dentist invest in GBT for their hygiene department? Dentists will never be free of the temptation to purchase another toy. Constant innovation in technology regularly promises to make dentistry easier, more predictable, and highly satisfying for the patient. The problem is, most equipment upgrades are used, at best, once or twice a day. Guided Biofilm Therapy is the one investment in dentistry that can be used on every patient that comes in for hygiene, making their experience more pleasant, efficient, effective, and motivating.

Join us for a live, end-to-end demonstration of the complete digital splint workflow, from intraoral scanning to chairside delivery. In this CE webinar, you will follow a real clinical case as we walk through patient diagnostics, live CAD design, print setup, post-processing, and final delivery. Whether you are just beginning to explore digital dentistry or looking to refine your existing workflow, this session offers practical, hands-on insight into how 3D printing can simplify splint fabrication while improving clinical outcomes.


Bonding, Warming and Curing to Maximize Success with Composite Restorations

Does your daily restorative routine feel hindered by unpredictable outcomes or complex material choices? Nowadays, clinicians have many options for different options when it comes to composite restorations. Materials such as microfills, microhybrids, nanofills, bulkfills, and flowables are getting stronger and more versatile. Universal adhesives offer a level of compatibility that was not available a decade ago. This CE webinar presents an overview of how composite bonding chemistry, restorative materials and composite warming helps maximize the success of composite restorations.


Simplifying the Digital "Puzzle" in Full-Arch Dental Implant Rehabilitation
Presenter: Dr. Richard Martin

The rapid evolution of digital technologies - including facial scanning, intraoral photogrammetry (IPG), and 3D printing - has fundamentally changed the way clinicians approach full-arch dental implant rehabilitation. This CE webinar will present practical, real-world case scenarios to demonstrate how digital data - from facial scans to intraoral photogrammetry - can be aligned within a unified workflow. Emphasis will be placed on achieving a seamless digital flow between surgical and prosthetic phases, improving accuracy, efficiency, and communication. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how to simplify the digital process, leverage emerging technologies, and apply these concepts predictably in daily clinical practice.


50 Shades of Inflammation: the Mouth Body Mind Connection

Want to learn about "permanent lifestyle change" and quench your patients' flames & their disease risk? There is an avalanche of evidence demonstrating the connection between your patients' mouths with their modern lifestyle habits: lack of sleep (saps their discipline), shift work (after 4 night-shifts blood sugar is elevated), poorly managed stress (shows up in every cell of their body), overeating (high fat & processed food boosts inflammation), and sedentary living (did you know "Sitting is the New Smoking?"). And it's bi-directional; the oral environment has far reaching effects on the rest of the body. Patients appreciate the dental health professional who sees the bigger picture in the body, mind and mouth and see its interconnectedness. Stop the fiery cascade with specific dental & lifestyle solutions guaranteed to change your patients' health destiny. This fact filled and inspirational CE webinar is a "call to arms" against "hot spots" of inflammation - "let's douse the flames!"


Featured On-Demand CE Webinars






Direct Resin Artistry: Creating Life Like Restorations
Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Lineberry
Sponsor: DMG America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Patients present to our offices almost daily with anterior teeth that need restorations, including ones that replace a portion of the tooth that is readily visible to the patient and others. In these cases, we can choose to restore the area with a direct or indirect restoration. Indirect restorations are managed often times by a ceramist, but direct restorations require a thorough knowledge of the material and the understanding of effective layering to achieve a restoration that blends in naturally with the sounding tooth structure. In this CE webinar, we will utilize a restorative material that simplifies the layering techniques to achieve an outstanding result.







Innovative Biomimetic Approaches to Injectable Composite
Presenter: Dr. Nader Yermian
Sponsor: GC America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
Composite resin injectables are highly versatile materials that can be used in numerous scenarios to enhance cosmetic dental practices in a minimally invasive manner, while also facilitating everyday general dentistry. Mastery of composite dentistry, understanding proper adhesive protocols, and establishing effective isolation techniques are crucial steps toward gaining confidence in the functional outcomes of these restorations. In this CE webinar, our goal is to educate participants on how to confidently place predictable composite injectable restorations in both the esthetic zone and posterior teeth. We will cover various case types, including the increasingly popular fiber injectable composites used for build-up procedures. Additionally, we will provide an overview of the cementation protocols for indirect porcelain restorations using injectable materials.







From Standard to Stellar: Elevating Dental Care
Presenter: Amanda Hill, RDH
Sponsor: VOCO America
CE Credits: 1 CEU (Self-Study)
View Full Description »
There is more to dentistry than cleaning teeth and filling cavities. Even the general public is aware the mouth is connected to the rest of the body. Is the standard of care we learned in school enough? Staying up to date with the latest innovations can be a challenge for healthcare providers who must prioritize both the quality of care provided to their patients and their own well-being. In this CE webinar, participants will assess new technologies to enhance clinical care and optimize outcomes. Learn how to explain the advantages of these new innovations to both patients and team members, resulting in greater buy-in and implementation in the practice.

Guest: Irene Iancu, BSc, RRDH, CTDP, OM
We've all seen the white spot lesions on our patients teeth. By any measure, they're not particularly aesthetic and most patients would love them to disappear. So why is it that for a large majority of patients that are actually visiting their dentist regularly, these lesions persist and essentially detract from their smile. The only logical answer I can come up with is that many dentists are not utilizing something called resin infiltration. It's a simple procedure that is remarkably effective in essentially making white spot lesions disappear. To tell us all about it is our guest Irene Iancu. Irene is a Canadian RRDH and entrepreneur with experience in various specialties like Pediatrics, Orthodontics, and Periodontics, she has combined all these elements in her start-up dental practice in Toronto, Toothlife Studio. Irene is an international speaker, key opinion leader, host of the Tooth or Dare podcast and creates educational content on all social platforms under the handle @toothlife.irene.
