Many general dentists associate silver diamine fluoride with pediatric or geriatric patients, where caries arrest outweighs esthetic concerns. Dentists, especially in esthetically focused practices, dismiss SDF as incompatible with their treatment goals. But this view is outdated. In this CE webinar, we will review how proper case selection and clinical integration make SDF not only compatible with general dentistry but also a powerful diagnostic and disease stabilizing tool. Learn how incorporating SDF can elevate patient care, improve outcomes, and strengthen your practice’s business model—without sacrificing esthetics.

Zirconia has established itself as one of the most versatile and reliable materials in contemporary restorative dentistry. With advancements in CAD/CAM technology and speed-sintering protocols, zirconia restorations have become more efficient and predictable than ever before - particularly for implant-supported prosthetics. This evidence-based CE webinar will explore the expanding role of zirconia in modern chairside dentistry, with a special focus on restoring dental implants using the long-awaited hybrid zirconia implant abutment block. This innovative material offers unprecedented versatility, enabling clinicians to design and fabricate either screw-retained or cement-retained implant restorations from a single block. Participants will gain practical insight into clinical case selection, optimal preparation design, and strategies to streamline the zirconia workflow—from digital impression to finishing and delivery. Emphasis will also be placed on bonding and cementation protocols critical to the long-term success of zirconia restorations. You won’t want to miss Dr. Dhaval Patel share his experience and knowledge!

Unsightly congenital enamel defects from molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and trauma can be troublesome for many patients. Historically, these blemishes have been treated with invasive and costly resin bondings and veneers. Dealing with enamel defects can prove particularly troublesome for young patients, which when left untreated, often become a source of embarrassment for the patient. This CE webinar will review tips and tricks to manage these enamel defects with resin infiltration. This noninvasive approach can improve or even completely reverse the appearance of congenital enamel defects while preserving tooth structure and repairing the patient’s natural enamel.
